Impossible Toys dropped by with a teaser for 2012. It appears they will expanding their Quint line to include the long neglected Allicons who debuted along with the Sharkticons in the 1986's Transformers: The Movie. Check out the teaser image below.

Looking good. I know this is only a render but it looks to me that this will be a fully transfoming figure rather than the non tfing toys that make up the rest of Impossible's Quint line. Depending on eventual pricing and availability these might end up being my next 'army buider'

I was, and still am, impressed by their Arcee. If this transforms, I WILL buy it. Hear me, IP? TAKE MY MONEY!

I've actually looked at it so many times, i've gotten what i believe most of the transformation down, hehe. Its pretty damn articulate, lets just hope things snap in place without qc issues.

They sure do love them some Neo-G1.

I'm hoping their QC has improved. If so I'll take a few for my Quint display.

Hopefully their quality has improved. Arcee was a nice figure, but she's very delicate. One of the seats popped off right out of the package. I'm actually afraid to touch or Transform her, and her chest plate has a hard time staying down.

What the first guy said. I've wanted a dozen or so of these guys WAY more than any new Sharkticons, but my hopes faded when Impossible Toys said their Quint line was done. If it's not, then I also have hope for variants of the Scientist and Prosecutor types in Dweller in the Depths and Money is everything, the humanoid types from Forever is a Long Time Coming, and most eagerly of all (and likely hardest of all for them to pull off) that 3-faced guy who created the Transorganics, one of his faces requiring a mask to cover the damage done by the Dweller.

Oh, and they could also rerelease all their previous quints in Marvel Comic colors (purple and green). I customized an executioner into General Ghyrik, but won't ever get around to the others. There might even be demand for it once IDW gets up to Space Pirates again in their Classics UK omnibus trades. Well, I can dream...but I've seen molds milked with far less logical repaints lately.

Im all for this !!!

Definatally want to buy 3. But it must transform. There are still some characters they could tackle:

Quint with the one shattered face

Baliff repainted in proper colors instead of pink and teal green

Optimus Prime alligator

Alpha Trion figure they advertised earlier

A more available version of vector sigma

Impossible Toys should have never strayed from their tried and true Quint line.

This looks far more sturdy than Arcee. And yet, I can see the same sort of issues with paint that all their products have. Still, it's a must buy for me. Hopefully iGear will actually do their Sharkticon set so I can have a 100% 3rd party Quintesson court.
