According to spanish retailer Iacon Toys, UT's sharkies include different heads as well.

From TFsource's UT Sharky Product Page:

This great set of 3 Sharky figures by Unique toys features 3 sharky figures, each with a different head sculpt on the robot mode. Form your sharky army today! Each figure stands approximately 11CM, 4.5" tall in robot mode.

So UT's will have 3 individual heads as well.

Cool. Need pictures to compare heads! Need preorder from BBTS to compare. Wish I had $200 to get both. 8-}

Damn, that is tempting, finally some reasonable 3p prices. Any Brits used these guys before? I'm always wary of using Chinese websites

Why? I've bought tons of stuff from both Chimungmung and Robotkingdom over the years...

They're from Hong Kong actually.

I order from Tony @ Chimungmung.com quite often and his products always arrive in a timely fashion, well packaged and complete.
No problems with customs either.

He also is open to a bit of haggling and gives you the option to send your items without any packaging (if youre the sort of person who throws it away) which cuts down the shipping costs.

Darn it, what do I need 6 Sharkticons for? Alicon is going to go from lonely to smothered!

(Preordered)

I've been waiting for years for some decent Sharkticons, and there are too many options? (And at this point, outside of the paint, there doesn't seem to be anything that distinguishes one from the other for me. Maybe a review closer to the release dates will sway me.)

Preordered as well. My old Impossible Toys Quintessons need their bodyguards.

News Credits: 461 · Wed Oct 23, 2013 10:57 am

preordered from BBTS. guess I'm droping Igears... Don't feel the need of having both sets.

News Credits: 2 · Wed Oct 23, 2013 11:09 am

Cheers for the feedback, I might order from them as it seems Kapow are getting a bit cold on some 3p offerings of late.

Yeah kapow were wanting feedback on FB yesterday asking if they should stock the x-transbots huffer & pipes due to slow sales on some 3rdp figures as of late , the majority said they weren't bothered which has me thinking they won't be but i'll get mine from chimungmung £90 for the pair.

Im buying both the Unique Toys and the Igear sets. On my version of Quintessa there are many species including the Botcon versions and the Alicons.

I'm losin my sh@t over these little dudes. I'm a MASSIVE G1 Sharkticon fan. I've got a good number of them but i'm more than stoked on these toothy little devils.
90 for three BBTS is alright i guess but not that good.
I thought Igear started teasing with images of their Sharks 2 years ago and nothing came of it. Am i wrong? I know they never saw the light of day but did they just give up entirely?

It would be nice to get UT's sharks before X-mas. That much is for sure.

Not that there is much stock in release dates, but BBTS has UT coming out late November and iGear as December. I will fully admit that if UT comes out first, and they are decent enough, I will cancel my iGear order.

Do you mean these guys?

Based on your guys good feedback I have taken the plunge and ordered a set from Chimchunwhasitcalled, I even ordered a Blitzwing upgrade at the same time (that head just has to go!) This looks like a decent set and good value to boot!

This looks too cute & small. It has to be bigger & more mean looking in the robot mode. The Generation one Sharkticons never resembled sharks. They always looked more like piranha's.
