In that case, how likely is it these could be limited and difficult to obtain?

Damn I look sexy.

Uhh New Animated Legends look funny.

Crystal Crack Screamers are crack.

HA Jazz = Beauty

Classics Sons of Cybertron are beautiful

Animated EG Prowl and Smokescreen+Dreadwind... hot damn.

Uhhhh I'm going to change my underwear.

They probably won't be super-limited or super-expensive. Stick with Seibertron, we should be getting more information about these guys soon...

I don't know about the rest of you but, I hope Japan makes an Omega Supreme fig! I will pick that up in a heart beat. I don't have an Omega Supreme and while I wasn't the biggest TF animated fan, I did like their take on Omega Supreme. I was even hoping Hasbro would make it, then the show was canceled.

HA Jazz - habbada habbada habbada. I'm definitely getting him! I feel tempted to get the repainted MindStalker combo too.

Gah - can't see animated Blurrz properly. The other Takara animated figs look rather identical to their Hasbro counterparts from those images, though they're definitely shinier.

Thanks for the pics Diem!

...for some funny reason, those EZ seekers look like tasty candy.

Gah - can't see animated Blurrz properly. Then again, I can hardly see the paint app changes on most of the other animated figs.

Thanks for the pics Diem!

Is that better?

OMG that's all I needed to know! Thanks Diem!

So...ordering through eHobby. Is it relatively easy?

Like you're really going to need to do that. BBTS, TFsource, Robotkingdom will probably have pre-orders for this baby soon enough.

At not 2-3 times the eHobby price?

The Animated Sons of Cybertron set is only $55; http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

Doubt the Classics counterpart will be far from that price.

Hmm, that DreadWing is an interesting choice, a good use of the mold though, but...they could've at least gave them different heads(unless that messes up the transformation of course...).

Ordering from eHobby if you don't read Japanese and don't have a Japanese address is like trying to survive a three hour romantic drama with subtitles, but less entertaining.

Well, BBTS it is then!

If Prowl is under $40 I'll be happy.

Wow really like the Legends scorponok. Also getting the HA JAZZ and the Animated SOC Set. Wow more and more cool stuffs.. lesser and lesser money -_-

Elite Guard Goldbug and Prowl - yes please!

Hey wait a sec: in another scan, wasn't the Mindwipe repaint Smokescreen and the Skystalker one Dreadwing?

Yes, that's correct. But given the good reputation of Figure King I'd say that this way is the correct way.
