Well, DAMN.

And to think I've been planning to get a henkei Ironhide to replace the one I lost.

First Igear figures I'm buying.

I don't think I'm impresssed to buy these (they'll probably be $110 for each), but I'm impressed with the work.

From what I was able to gather while searching around yesterday before this news hit, the figures should be around 7inches I think and that the cost should be around the $80 mark. Not so bad. Think most company's are gonna try and keep their stuff around that price range.

These are the same guys who charged 100+ for Arcee, a much smaller figure. I'll believe this piece of good news when I see it.

But $80 would be quite reasonable. I don't know if it'll sell me on these guys (like I said the ones we got are passable already), but that'd be a reasonable price.

Oh, how the tides turn.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

These are so much better than the terrible classics versions that didn't look classic at all. Superior!

Now please bring on a awesome Galvatron!

Holy crap, iGear is finally releasing an original figure?

I guess the apocalypse is coming after all...

Autoscout and MGT-01 (Arcee) would like a word with you.

FINALLY.

I wait to see full details and price, but I would be proud to put these alongside my G1!

From what I understand, iGear only distributes MGT-01.

iGear has my attention with these figures & their other reveals. I hope they turn out to be a little smaller than the 7-8" assumption. Regardless, I will have to read and watch a few reviews before I put money down on them.

If they're deluxe-sized, then I will get them.

I haven't support iGear in their rip-offs but for legit new creations I will get them.

iGear says these are 19cm, 7.5 inches

More proto pics are up on the igear fb site. Looks to come with alot of weapons. Sorry, can't post pics, on my phone.

Wow, those little curvy pieces are screaming "break me!" I hope they're softer plastic than the rest, or they'll be the first to go.

Any indication of size? If these are Voyager class size and in scale with my Classics i'd definately get them.

I've got to admit, these look pretty friggin' amazing.

I'm liking what I see, man it's good to see i-Gear finally being back to what I liked them for, really cool product designs.

Holy guns, batman. Looks awesome but I bet it'll be insanely expensive. And those guns probably won't be able to store inside for vehicle mode.

This. It even says on their store page "This product is not made by iGear". They only distribute it.

And Autoscout is a neat figure, but it's not full size and it's hardly a marvel of engineering.

In my books, this is the first truly impressive thing iGear has done.
