Looks like the limits of its articulation is a 360° swivel at the shoulders and waist. Zero paint, it's all stickers and even then there aren't many. The monotone plastic is so rounded it looks like it was designed by Fisher-Price. I really don't see more than a few thousand of these being sold worldwide.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

And it's......these.
WTF? They are about as Transformers specifc as the Weeble Tree House.
I will not be doubling the attendance by heading to Southampton if this is what's on offer.

Maybe it's the red used for the molding but that one looks better than the Arashikage or Cobra models. Blood for the Baron indeed.

Moonbug wrote:Just to add to Dave Tree's post and clear up some of the information people have posted, very little of which is true.
The figures are not kit-bashes they have been scratch built for the show much like The Kraken last year.
The show is a G.I.Joe/Action Force/Transformers event. The Transformers side of the figure is that, much like The Kraken, that the figure doubles up as a Pretender shell.
There are more exclusives that you can see over at BloodForTheBaron which is where these preview images came from. Better images will be released soon.
These will not be produced in the 1000s, at the moment there will be 30 of each colour.
The figures come with a sticker sheet so that you can customise them for the faction(s) of your choosing.
As Dave Tree said they are not based on the IDW cross-over they are a continuation on the Pretender theme the show started last year, they have just been up-scaled so that they can hold a Joe figure or a Transformer.
