I just wish those little PE guys were a tad bit bigger..I remember seeing them at botcon and I was floored by just how tiny they were..The kingbat looks hell wicked though, I'd rather spend my money on good 3rd party stuff anyways. I just hope they fix the QC issues..

Since I had no problem with Shadow Warrior, I will definitely pick these up

I was impressed with their Rumble/Frenzy, and I do want some accessories for Megatron...

Bought shadow warrior on a whim and was not impressed at all. Bad QC issues. These don't really appeal to me.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised when I got mine, that they had no QC issues, I guess I got lucky.

Theses are so bought though

I think QC issues overall were rarer than non-QC issues. I'm looking forward to these two

Yeah, I really enjoyed having the Frenzy/Rumble set, so I'm picking these up. I'm guessing they're holding off on Rewind/Eject till later. I think the kingbat can use more magenta(?) and gold though. Also, he's great for Megs, but I was kind of hoping that he would be suited for Soundwave.

Where's Rosanna's microphone?

Am I the only one that doesn't like the weapon modes? I don't mind Kingbats jet mode, but I don't like the bat mode. I love the robot mode on Ninja though. I'll but the set for Ninja and the sword.

Like Likwid, I saw the Rumble and Frenzy at Botcon and was surprised by how tiny they are. I really like the deco for Ninja and the sword for Megatron. Not sure if I should pull the trigger on any of these though. The alt modes leave me cold.

No QC issues with my Shadow Warrior... in fact, he is one of my favorite ones to play around with...

This is probably incredibly obvious to most but, I would assume Ninja is the first step into a Rewind/Eject. The chest and legs of the mold represent the G1 characters, and I assume the head will as well once we get a larger view of it. Also, the way the guns attach (mounted below the forearms) is also the same as Rewind/Eject. The chest is what gave it away when we first saw teasers of this. They just need a character to use first to take some of the brunt off the inevitable repaint.

I have no interest in this mold as Roseanna, but maybe I will as Eject/Rewind. Its just too bad I really don't care for Device Label Blaster.

Also, I have 2x of the original Shadow warriors, and even after taking them apart to repaint I have had no QC issues whatsoever. Thin plastic is thin plastic, if you break it because they made it thin... well then you should realize its not as durable. I expected it to be thin after F_R reviewed them, so I knew what I was getting in to.

Not sure about ratbat. I like the idea, but I wish the bat mode was purer. Maybe I can mod him

There's no way Rosanna doesn't get repainted into Eject/Rewind. I don't want to act like I know what these third parties are making, but to be profitable and fund the rest of teh stuff they have coming out, they totally need to repaint their stuff.
