More third-party test shots! This morning we posted test shots of TFC Toys upcoming Hercules figures Dr. Crank and Structor, and now iGear has followed suit with test shots of their Mini Warriors MW-02 Rager (aka Huffer) and MW-01 Spray (aka Seaspray). Take a look at the orange test shots mirrored from the iGear facebook page below.

They look great, but they're just too small for me.

I know. I really really want to buy them, but then I'd have no place for them. They are just to small. IDK, they are cheap and maybe I'll just bring them to work and have them in my office or something. :-?

they look great, but I'm a little sad the real ones won't be quite so orangey looking.

These are great

cant wait to get them and the others, i have faith in the rest been just as good and will hopefully find my perfect powerglide.

This realy does look like an awsome start to this neo minicon collection i hope they go all the way with them and keep them coming.

I would prefer deluxe size too but these just look too damn cool to pass up. I preordered both and can't wait to get them. Hope the guns have a way of storing in altmode.

I would actually prefer my mini-bots to be scout sized.

But if these guys complete the group, and they may, I'll be pretty happy to have a size appropriate set of mini-bots.

And at only $15 a pop I'm willing to give these guys a chance.

I'm too used to Seaspray On Roids, that I just can't go back to this scale anymore!

They look great. I hope Spray's harpoon gun attaches to the alt mode somehow, otherwise I'm afraid it will get lost.

Where? They're $19.95 at TFsource.com and BBTS, and that doesn't include shipping. With S/H, it'll be about $47-$48 for both.

Direct from iGear, and the $15 includes shipping:
Seaspray:
http://shop.igeartoys.com/index.php?rou ... uct_id=118

Huffer:
http://shop.igeartoys.com/index.php?rou ... uct_id=117

For iGear stuff I usually buy direct from them as their pre-order prices are very good.

Awesome, thanks! I just placed an order there for both figures.

Well, I pre-ordered Huffer. Can't wait for him. Already got Voyager Seaspray and that's good enough for me. Gonna be nice to be one step closer to my Classics goal.

I too am very happy with HFTD Seaspray, but I very much like Rager. These figures are smaller than I'd have liked them to be, but at $15 a pop the phrase "why the hell not" seemed extremely prevalent.

I'm liking what I see. And this only the first of a full line. I don't know about y'all, but between this and MakeToy's minibots, I'm looking forward to cluster of little guys given the classic treatment.

What is the exact size we are looking at here? The hand holding these figures looks pretty small. Are these scout size or smaller

News Credits: 5 · by **alexison** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 8:36 pm

Legends size.

by **Rated X** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 9:52 pm

Well Im buying them because they look cool. But I do agree the size really sucks. My take on the mini-bots is they should have never really been that "mini". I mean, if you watch the cartoon, they are about up to the regular autobots shoulders. Not up to their hips as the G1 figures portray. I mean when has a truck been smaller than a car in real life ??? How about powerglide ??? Have you ever seen a real A-10 Warthog the size of a volkswagon bug before ??? I gear was stupid not to break tradition and upgrade these guys to scout size or bigger.

These look pretty decent, but I'm feeling really burned out on 3rd Party products right now... I can't even afford the ones I really want, let alone ones I sort of want...

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 12:00 pm

On the flip side, at Legends size you wouldn't have to rebuy guys like Brawn or Cosmos to have a set that are the same height.

the only scales in the G1 cartoon are on Seaspray's girlfriend.
