Hmmm... That redering makes it look a lot better than the model formed with the plastic on the sprue will look like. Looks like the cab will be dark blue, with white stickers all over it. I wonder how well they will stick, with all those molded lines on the cab.

Preorder cancelled...

this looks like something more for model kit fans who like to paint the kits for better appearance.

It looks like it would be a pretty easy procedure to spray paint the cab and other sections white if they need to be. I guess it all comes down to how much it costs to obtain a kit. Something like this might go for about US$5 overseas, but by the time you get them via eBay or another online retailer the international shipping makes the price jump up to around $20-30. At that price it is not worthwhile to have to put a lot of effort into a small model in order to make it more accurate. Especially a model with molded non-turning wheel.

In short, I would buy these if I could get them for $5 each. But since it is unlikely that will happen....

I'm excited, this kit appears to be molded with much more detail than the ones in the previous set. Meaning I can actually just paint it to make it look right, unlike the last ones where using the stickers was pretty well mandatory if you wanted any detail at all. Bring 'em on!

Oooh. I love trinkets like this. If these ever came to the US, I'd buy up the whole set in a heartbeat.

As it stands, there's not enough draw to get me to import/BBTS prices.

They're neat, just not THAT neat.

I'd love to see that Prowl in comparison to G1 Prowl. I've often wished Classics Prowl was the size of a Basic.

Why cant hasbro ever do things like this?

[REMINATOR]

It's too bad they didn't paint the cab in white just like the arm joint/ missiles. That would use less sticker on the cab. Regardless, I can't wait to have one. This will be the first UMagnus figure where the missile launchers locate on the side of the trailer just like the cartoon.
