It even looks like they transform! OHYEAH! I want these. Badly. Must. Get. Them.

But alas! I will probably not have anything Takara. Although spending money on Takara stuff will help on the earthquake...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but these a just the same Gachapon set released to tie in with the first movie but with strings slapped on the top rather than bases. They don't transform and they're based mostly on Fast Action Battler toys.

These aren't key chains; they're cell phone straps.

Yeah, keychains usually have chains attached. Hence the name.

And they definitely don't transform, despite their name.

Great idea, Hasbro. Now can we get this over with so we can continue the Classics lines? Thanks.

I really doubt this is taking time away from the Classics line of toys.

Really? You must be seeing something the rest of us aren't. The amount of detail they appear to have, combined with the lack of any pictures showing them in alt modes, suggests they are non-transforming figurines.
