Looks more like an anglerfish to me especially the one from finding nemo

Dery probably got all caught up designing a TF anglerfish and then said "oh yeah, it's supposed to be a shark" and added that fin at the top to justify the name.

I think my main issue with the design is that it looks too chibi for my tastes. iGear's looked burly in their proportions IMO, this one looks tubby.

I'm not really sold on that final colour scheme. The grey is a bit dark to me and the purple is entirely the wrong shade. The eyes should also be a different colour and not silver. There just isn't enough contrast there or maybe it's just that the tones are wrong.

Either way....I'm gonna pass on these or wait on a possible repaint later down the line.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...

I think I'll wait to see what iGear does.

I'm just going to buy the Hasbro version in 2014.

I'll get the Legends size one too, but only out of general interest. This is more the size I want.

Really, the colors looks like the render's - except done in actual real paint and not flat CGI. The ONLY thing that bugs me are those silver eyes. Why?

You're right. I had forgotten about them already *goes to cancel preorders*

Gnaw and Gnash are Legends figures though, aren't they?

Between that fact and that we haven't seen pics yet, and I'm okay hanging on to my preorders for a bit. I've been waiting for a decent Sharkticon for a while now. Having choices is making me feel warm fuzzies.

(By the way, don't forget to put the k in "Sharkticon." :shock:

)

The eyes really should be more of a greenish/yellow/gold color, but I see no reason to kill my preorder.

In case you haven't read/heard about it.

Unique Toys
We have made modifications on the color of G02，and will make it more close to the color in the cartoon.

It looks like the bot head on these might be a bit larger. It might be cartoon accurate, but these look ever so slightly more goofy than the iGear.

On the other hand, these are supposed to look goofy.

Yup - the goofiness is a plus. Especially for a/my Classics collection.

These could be the best value 3p Transformers this year. Nice figures, attractive box, comparatively cheap, these guys have a winner! Looking forward to getting mine from chin chumn chang my online supplier.
