The fork weapon....."bi"dent, that's the"new" gimmick I suppose for the set.

KIIIIIING POSEIDON!!!!! =P~

Kabaya continues to knock their mini-combiners out of the park! I wonder if they'd be willing to redeco these into God Neptune at some point in the future.

Am I the only one who thought, and still thinks, that the 'Seacons' was a goofy idea and they just don't look very good...?

Looks really good. The only set I've bought from Kabaya was Fort Max, though. It was a pain to put together, but totally worth it. Really nice figure.

I dunno, I was bummed pretty bad by the rubbery plastics of the Gaia Guardian(Defensor) limbs, so I might pass on this set just like the other combiners(except Road Caesar, which I got as part of a set with Overload. though I haven't opened mine yet to compare plastic quality)

I have Road Caesar, Overlord and the Powered Masters, and the plastic quality is adequate. Remember, they're meant to be inexpensive Candy Toys, so of course they'll feel a bit cheap compared to regular toys.

I do like the quality of the plastic for the most part(I've been collecting them since wave 1, only missed out on Prowl and Starscream, up to the wave with Hotspot, then continued with Fort Max, Overload and Star Convoy wave), but the smaller limbs were so soft, they could barely carry the weight of the combined form(Streetwise' combiner connector actually bent from the weight). I've also heard that Gaiacross has the same issue, but I haven't heard if the other limbs for Motormaster, Onslaught and Silverbolt shared the same problem.

If you watched Masterforce, you'll see how goofy those monsters were. It all boils down to "PR"...or their lack of it :grin:

Last we heard of the Transformers Kabaya Gum Seacons was back in June, but thanks to fellow fan sig_yan on Twitter, we get a small selection of in-hand images for the kit! Check them out mirrored below, including a brief comparison shot and a look at them in Piranacon/King Poseidon mode.

Too bad the joke didn't work. No crab altmodes. :oops:

Still funny, though. ;-)

Might be the first Kabaya TFs I get. They look really awesome. And the colors! Such nice, 80's neon colors they are! :-P

I wonder if we can get the whole thing in a single industry sized model kit box

After the in-hand images of the Kabaya Gum Transformers Seacon set, fellow Seibertronian Madeus Prime has shared a stop-motion review from YouTube user youheidx - check out the new twist on a video review for King Poseidon embedded below!

Cute way to do a review! I like how the combining pegs are handled here so as to not mess up the heads. Hopefully it isn't too breakable, though (have had a few Kabaya figures snap with very little effort).

Is that really the G1 Seacons?

Its like they just, rushed G1 toys a bit too much.

Were you expecting something mind-blowing from these tiny little Kabaya model kits? Part of the selling point of these is their charm and little quaintness.

That's inherent of the nature of model kits.

So are those the actual G1 Seacons or just a build your own kit?
