Chuck- was there any indication of slipperyness or a "film" on the plastic of these figures? Also be fortunate your Prime had straight antenna, I've seen some bent in package.
None whatsoever. The plastic felt good, just not Hasbro 6" figure good. I think there might be some confusion. The plastic used for the RED figures is NOT soft and rubbery. It's firm, just not the quality we should expect.

I’ve been on the fence with these guys, but seeing how short they are takes me firmly on the “not getting into it” side.
Aside from a few characters that may pop up, I’ll be steering clear of this line.

Thanks! And yeah, I wrote an article about all the exclusives announced during PulseCon and where you could buy them, including these:

I am considering cancelling my preorder through Walmart for Megatron and Soundwave...
That $40 is going to be nice to have for either SS86 figures, or maybe even the new MP Starscream.

I would say that's a good idea. If you're still curious about them you can always double back later and get them at a sale price.

Yeah I have a feeling that they won't be that difficult to find once available.
And I'd feel a lot better if I could get each for somewhere around $12-$15.
Preorder has been canceled!

Not sure I'd trust the walmart pre-orders at this point anyway. All of the netflix figures were spotted at stores long before pre-orders were filled (and there are still outstanding wave 1 preorders). And people who pre-ordered the Wave 2 Earthrise figures are receiving beauty products and other things like that instead of the actual toys

I've had a theory that I just can't shake, Walmart, Target, etc. will always make sure their brick and mortar stores are stocked before their online sites because they live off that foot traffic.

Just watched a RED Soundwave review... I will be tempted to get these if I see them in a store.
The more I've thought about it, the more I'm okay with what some consider a lack of articulation;
I don't play with my figures... Especially in this case, it is 150% a display piece.
I don't need them positioned with one leg kicked forward, or doing the splits, or doing some sort of yoga/gymnastics pose... They'll be standing, and yeah, maybe in a semi-dynamic stance, but nothing crazy.
I'll still wait until they go on sale, but I have a feeling I'll end up with both Soundwave and Megatron.

If you're going to end up with two, those are the two best thus far.

Yeah, but even on sale, we'll see... Looking at all of the MP SS photos has me thinking that funds will need to be funneled toward that guy!

My local Walmart have something new and it's the RED figures.
They are 30$can, meaning the same price as a regular deluxe.
I'll wait for more interesting characters.

I bought 2 of each this week!!
They look soooo good out of box. Whoever designed them were obviously fans of the G1 cartoon.
The faces and body proportions are spot on.. or at least how I remember them from rose tinted nostalgia glasses.
The plastic isn't hard plastic, it's pretty nice quality. It reminds me of the Good Smile Nendoroids. It's a tactile rubbery plastic. Quite good IMO.
I had to go to 2 Walmarts in Toronto to find the figures. Not sure how many Walmart ordered, but I nabbed the remaining ones on the shelves.
One thing that is to note.. The quality is a bit flimsy. These are made in Vietnam, so the quality control isn't so good. Megatron's ab crunch is broken, Optimus's head was loose when I took it out of box and Sound Wave's arm didn't lift up (that was exchanged).
But other than that, these are super rare finds. I'm usually a Masterpiece fan due to the good representation of G1 designs. These are also quite good!

They were sold out pretty quickly in store and online.
I'm quite happy about this because this give chances for more interesting characters down the line.

Sorry if this is old news...
Arcee and Cheetor are up for preorder on Walmart.com.
I'm passing on both, just wanted to give a heads-up.

They've been on pre-order since Hasbro officially announced them at Pulsecon a month ago.
Still haven't seen any RED figures locally.
