People were throwing out 18 inches as the combined size.

Yeah, and I've seen the Photoshopped pic where he's as tall as Uranos (which is fine by me; I think I'll get Uronos). But there's always the possibility that these pics are off by a fair bit. But maybe I'm being overly cautious?

If this is as tall as Bruticus, do you all suppose the car modes would be too large compared to the classics Autobots? The Bruticus guys are MP sized in robot mode (well, compared to MP Sideswipe).

I'm too far in with FP's Menasor, so this one is of no interest to me despite how ever awesome it may be.

Theyres nothing wrong with double dipping. I did it with Herc/Giant, although I admit it was only for the yellow G2 version. Im not crazy about MP scale. But if they are classics scale, I would definitally consider having both. One as a team, the other in combined form.

I got both Giant and Herc too and I noticed how much money I lost in doing so. I've implemented a "no duplicate character" rule on my shelf unless this is vastly superior and in the scale that I'm collecting, which I'm doubting.

Very good call, I do the same, hence I don't need this figure who seems to be way too tall for my liking anyway.

Looking at the silhouette I'm getting a very G1 aesthetic vibe from it.

WB01-A proto

At 17 or 18 cm high in individual bot modes this is going to be a monster Voyager combiner!!!

Don't you think those photos belong more in the WB01 thread, daimchoc?

For those concerned about the potential price of this, BBTS has just posted preorders for the WB01 set.

I think we can probably assume similar pricing for WB02. All things considered, not too unreasonable compared to the competition. We'll see how the quality is.
