Great head sculpt! Given it's a mini warrior (assumed or confirmed?) the scale might be good with Topspin and Twintwist. My interest might increase, depending on the price...
[Edit] Piston pic came in while I was typing this. Who is Piston homaging?

Rapid Prototyping is now mostly done via 3D printers. Then they retool and refine the process from the factory.

Those large ball joints just scream mini-bot really, so this wouldnt scale very well against a well scaled Deluxe/Voyager line up.
I guess he would be fine alongside smaller end of the Deluxe scale and Commander scale, but we need a decent sized Military vehicle/Hummer (or whatever he is supposed to be) not something the size of a VW Beetle!
I just a thought, would FansProject Munitioner would be a nice size and colour to act as a Neo-Classics Ironfist?
Pricey now, but might work.

Too expensive for me to want to get both, but I'll certainly take an Ironfist.

Oh now that is looking rather good. I'm a little bummed by the price, but unless the thing turns out to be tiny (say Legion class) I'll be keeping my pre-order.

I thought iGear's minibots were overpriced. Insanity. The figure has a simple transformation and limited mobility (based on the images so far).

Ya, I agree with Stormrider. Will make a stink on Facebook as only I can... These are far too overpriced. I like a little, but I wouldn't pay more than $25 for him.

Lower, this is probably still being too greedy. Probably, because the exact specs of the figure are STILL unknown. There's been speculation about approx size, but this just looks small and I would have to agree with others that it LOOKS about iGear Hench size. So, $30 - 35 would be appropriate here.
Yep, no pleasing us, but I'm already a representative cash cow for other companies...

That's more of what I was expecting this to be. I'll probably pick up a Crankcase at this price too.

Kapow are selling a set of Piston and Gauntlet for £54.99, which seems pretty much in line with the cheaper US prices.

I had no interest in these, but in the end I couldn't resist!

Is that price inclusive of shipping or will Kapow be whacking another £6 or £7 on top for mainland U.K.?
Edit: £3.50 unsigned U.K. delivery!
Am I right in saying we have yet to see a size comparison against something we know, such as a Classics mold?

Agreed, I have zero regret about getting Perfect Effect's Reflector homage despite the size. I would expect Ironfist to be maybe a head shorter than Topspin/Twin Twist though and will be disappointed if he isn't!
