It appears CM's Corp will continue to produce human Transformers characters in their Guttu Kuru series. Autobase Aichi has posted the teaser image mirrored below that is on display at Summer Wonder Festival 2012, which looks to be Spike and Daniel from the original animated Transformers: The Movie in their exo suits.

oooh! Ideally they'd be in Classics scale, maybe the size of a Cyberverse guy or PE Frumbzy, but have CM Corp's previous Ginrai and Minelba not been more along the lines of a normal action figure size?

These'll likely be in scale with Minerva and Ginrai, being about the height of today's Voyager class figures.

This is an awesome idea. Just wish all of these had been 3.75" scale instead ... would look much better alongside the Transformers. One day!

At least there's the SCF figure of Daniel.

We also got those Impossible Toys Exo-Suit Spike and Daniel figures, which are pretty much in scale, though the transformation of these larger figures will doubtlessly shame their ability to simply bend over until it almost looks like a vehicle.

I've got my Minelba in my Classics display, so a Spike and Daniel produced by these guys would go there, too. I have been waiting for years for good human toys, and this is right up my alley!

Now a Karly? A Chip, a Marissa, please oh please?! :ic$:

That's actually pretty cool.

Looks like CM's Corp will have a prototype of their new Excel Suit with Spike and Daniel figures at this year's Wonder Festival. This announcement came with a very pixelated image of the prototype. Hopefully we will have a better image when Wonder Festival takes place July 28. Until then, enjoy this pixelated image.

Oh, I had completely forgot about these guys! Dammit, an actual Spike and Daniel. G1 humans is always awesome for me.

I wonder if they will have the same transformations as they did in the movie.

Glad to see these back from the dead!

So.... 3rd Party no, but CM Corp is the exception? Or is this news because it's licensed merch? :???:

I'm always surprised when I see non-HasTak fig announcements on here! :roll:

They're licensed.

The Guttu Kuru figures are official Transformers products, just not made by Takara. Same concept as getting news about the Fall of Cybertron videogame or various apparel.

mmm mmm. dat resolution

When these go up for preorder, I'm getting them. Hopefully more humans will be made.

Autoboase Aichi has posted a trio of prototype images of CM's Corp's upcoming Guttu Kuru Excel Suit Spike and Daniel figures. Check out the images mirrored below.

IMPOSSIBLE!...Toys did those nice in-scale ones that couldn't do anything but "transform" by bending over. This treatment of the exo-suit, on the other hand, is long overdue and beautiful. I can't wait to do spreadsheets with it!

the suit itself looks cool and all but why is it so huge compared to Spike and Daniel? it seems almost as big as Bumblebee was compared to Spike on the show and movie when the suit in the movie was just a little bulkier than a human.

but it looks good so i'll give them that. lol

Hmmmm.... looks promising.

Are you seriously expecting accurate scale in the G1 cartoon?

The thing is definitely too big though.

Yea it's really nice, but far too big, this thing is almost as large as the Seeker mold. But I still kinda want it for my MP collection.

Question, do you think the human figures have articulation or are they just statues? Cos they don't seem to have joints, and yet in the suite they seem to be able to move their neck (arms seem to be separate pieces though.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:17 pm

WOW! Really?? Folks want full articulation AND posable figures that fit inside that DON'T look cheap and crappy, expect it to perform ALL the functions of its 1986 movie iteration, want it to be AFFORDABLE and STILL be in scale????
:lol:
