Hi. Um, what are these things actually called? I'm talking about the action figures that don't transform and look to be pretty posable. Who all is coming out? When are they going to be on shelves? And how well put together are these? (sculpt, posablility, sturdiness)

Oh, and I'd love some pictures too. I just can't seem to find them again.

Are you talking about the Robot Replicas? If so, someone else will have to take it from here as I don't really know too much about them yet.

The first series seems to include just three figures, Megatron, Barricade and Bubmblebee as there seems to be a noticible abscence of Optimus Prime.

I saw them this morning, Megs, BB and Barricade. That's the only three they had (K-Mart) and there was 2 of each, making me think that is the case assortment.

Megs and BB looked like crap, Barricade was O.K., but not really what I want to spend my money on. Not that they don't transform, just that they suck!

I haven't seen them in person, but the images online are disappointing. Since I also collect imported Gundam figures, I'm just too used to high detail and quality with my super poseable figures. I would have preferred Revoltech to do some of the movie designs personally.

I really want these figures but just like the new deluxe wave they are nowhere to be found. Its driving me nuts. :-x

I think BB and Baricade are totally fine. A little cartoony, but not as bad as most think.

i'm only looking forward to bumblebee and barricade...... maybe frenzy

They don't look to bad. Especially with thier price, which I am sure is cheaper then a revoltech toy from ebay.

I need a Frenzy for sure, to stick with my movie botsm barricades frenzy sucks

They look better in person than in any pics I have yet seen of them. They still dont look too crash hot though, painting is pretty good, and the modelling detail is quality as well.

But to charge 1/3 more for figures that have only a few interchangeable pieces, and no transformation than for a regular deluxe figure is a bit of a joke.
