It looks like new third-party toy company is working on a small Quintesson figure called Legend Heros-01 Q's Judge. The images mirrored below were found on srctoys weibo page. As you can see they have them labeled as "coming soon in 2011", but no other information is know at this time. They are shown displayed with Dr. WU's W-01 non-transforming Shark Clones but it's unknown how, if at all, the two projects are related. They seem to fit in scale well with Masterpiece Grimlock.

hehehehehehe

i can make these at home with a hard boiled egg and material from my local art shop.

these things look damn ugly. not much attention was put in making them.

well, if they're just prototypes then i hope they look better later on.

lol, i still would not waste my money on these anyways.

I don't think that these look that great and I never really cared for the quintessons. Every time I saw them in the cartoon I thought "oh great." The real reason I am posting is I don't know what version of Optimus Prime that is. Is it hybrid convoy or a custom? Or is it a Prime I have no knowledge of? Thank you.

I don't know ... these are going to be pretty hard to surpass unless it's an official product. This was one of the first 3rd party products as well as one of the first from Impossible Toys, and unfortunately is their best to date IMO, though one could argue that the Valkyrie / Arcee product from them was pretty decent.

I already have the Impossible Toys version and it looks a hell of a lot better than this one. Glad I can save some money here.

Theyre OK but Im happy with my quints from Impossible toys.

Please note that these appear to be much smaller versions of the Quints than the Impossible Toys versions.

At that size the crispness of both paint and sculpt are a bit more difficult to maintain, and it is especially noticeable with close up photography.

Compare the detail of a 6" Marvel Legends vs its 3 3/4" Marvel Universe counterpart as an example.

That said, I'm not sure I see the point in these guys.
Since they are that much smaller with what, exactly, are they supposed to scale?

I really don't remember the Quints being that much smaller in relation to MP sized figures, or even Deluxes. But then it's been a while since I saw the '86 movie.

I'm fine with the Impossible Toys version. The emphatic "Creative!" Is pretty laughable. Consider that it's an unofficial product using intellectual property not owned by them AND the fact that someone else has done it already. That and the base looks like a dulled down duplicate of the version released by IT. Laughable, not humorous.

The alt mode is the biggest reason I have never really looked that hard at that mold. Otherwise I would have the black version in my collection.

Dudes, why are you complaining about paint and detail, these things are friken tiny!
They look around Legends Class size and feature more detail and paint than official Legends.

I think they look pretty sweet, and it's coll that they come with Energon cubes, these would work wonderfully in a Legends Class, or Cyberverse scale collection.
