The interesting point in that email is the mention of a trailer in the works for UM. Otherwise it's pretty boring, just a white repaint and a shattered glass repaint of their Faith Leader. Now if they can manage to create a G1-ish trailer for UM that transformers into armor that will be impressive.

That is my hope too. Also not just a copy of G1, but G1 inspired with improved articulation.

The only bad thing about that is he wouldn't fit anywhere in my collection. He would be too small for the MP shelf and I already have Classics UM w/ City Commander armor on my neo-classics shelf. They would have to totally knock it out of the park to usurp CC for the role of classics UM. Of course if it fits Faith Leader they should in theory be able to upscale to MP size and have it fit on MP-02. That's a lot of speculation, but if anyone makes a decent and affordable trailer/armor for MP-02 they've got my money.

I think they should hold off on the white faith leader until there are at least prototype pics of the trailer, unless they are hoping people will buy it in anticipation of the trailer.

Figures this scam KOmpany would release their KO, undersized Magnus and tease it with mention of a future trailer that you don't get to see before the fact... If they weren't so scammy they'd just put out a full size add-on for the real deal.
Considering my dislike for iGear, I hope they continue with thier stolen design ways and look to release a mini version of that piece of crap Magnus trailer that never made it to production... Even better if the mini version never makes it, either.

That's exactly what they are hoping for.

Completely agree with you on this one B.

The idea intrigues me, but there is no way I am buying a Magnus cab without first seeing images of the trailer. And especially not at that price.

iGear has posted pre-orders for the Shattered Glass and Ultra Magnus versions of the PP01 figure. PP01 is a knock off of Masterpiece Prime. The Shattered Glass version comes with a Megatron head.

I can't judge the quality, but overpriced, heck yeah, these knockoffs cost more than I paid for my real import Masterpiece Convoy.

If it looks good, yes. Others have tried and failed woefully.

I gear is releasing cartoon accurate versions of the masterpiece prime figures. Now the Prime mold looks the same size of the masterpiece seeker. I hope after their coneheads they do a masterpiece megatron that size as well.

Normally I don't mind repaints so much, but this is kinda... ehhh. Besides the ethics of skirting the legality a bit too close, nothing they've put out in the past few years has interested me in the slightest. Call me a negative Nancy, and feel free to correct me, but I think the remolded heads on their conehead seekers is the most original thing I've seen from them, well, ever.
Pass and pass.

How about fixing that horrendous diorama you put out IGear? I e-mailed you several times and you don't respond at all. Won't be buying your products if you don't fix the glaring problem.

I'll definitely be getting one but will wait to see the picture of the trailer first.
