Human figures! Yay!

Too small! No!

The thread there links to the gallery at http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=album&album=8397&dispsize=800&start=0

I posted over there too...

The Longarm has the "Mike's Towing" on his doors, the Bumblebee set has BB molded in gray plastic, and Scorponok has sand 'painted' on him for the desert battle... (I don't know any difference in Barricade)

I'm not about to repurchase Barricade or Scorponok, but the Longarm set is a DEFINITE must-have in my book (it's my wife's favorite scene in the movie), and the Gray-plastic BB looks neat in my eye and may warrant a repurchase(?)...

That's some ole' bullshit right there.

Finally, a TF set the was MEANT to stay in the box.

My wife thinks Im nuts for having TFs (period) still in there boxes.

awesome. i really want the legless BB

I posted over there too... My wife and I are looking forward to the Longarm set... (with the correct "Mike's Towing" on the doors)

I stand corrected. My first post was in error. The human figures actually are to scale (or close to it) and they fit perfect with the scene.

It's a shame I'd have to purchase everything all over again just to get those human figures. I like to have one of each mold (which would include these human figures) but it's just not worth it to me.

Plus, I don't like the gray plastic on Bumblebee. I actually prefer the original Concept Camaro Bumblebee in it's black and yellow ochre glory. (Well it's not quite orange, or yellow.)

The detailing is nice, but no.

Oh and the Mike's Towing thing...such an intelligent idea. Is that a mutilated Robot Replica Bumblebee being towed?

Hrrrm... Bumblebee is a major pass, the grey's ugly. Barricade has Sam in so already it's a pass for me. Long arm's quite cool, I like the little broken BB, but I've never liked Long Arm himself. The Scorpinok is nice, I passed on him in his original release so if they make their way to the UK soon I'll get this one.

looks like it but the paint apps look wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better and he has a new head...

Maybe those of you who buy these that only want the TFs would be willing to sell off the human figures? I just cannot bring myself to spend the extra dough for about nine human figures. I could sell off my originals, but I'd take a big hit, plus I don't like the Bumblebee or Scorponok decos.

I'll pick up the Capture of Bumblebee package for sure. Not sure about the rest. Thanks for the news.

The original Frenzy is included!
Yea they kinda rock!

Very cool figurines!

Just noticed that Mikela comes inside Longarm... Now it's a definite purchase... "I'll drive, you shoot!"

EFF, I just bought Longarm today.

When are these coming out?

It looks I was right to not buy the deluxes so far.

These are awesome!

Hmm...not liking the grey on BB. I hope we still get the regular release one here.

Doesn't seem like a problem to me, seeing as how the deluxes are a pain to find. The only one I have from those sets is Barricade and it's worth getting for Sam, Mikaela, and Frenzy. I've been wanting humans for display, thanks, Hasbro.

I'll definately be getting the Longarm set. Since I can't find the single deluxe and I like that he's movie accurate. I don't get why the originally made it Orson's Towing. It's Mike in the movie. The BB set is good for those having a hard time finding him. The other 2 are total passes. Crappy figures. And little Army man repaints aren't going to help.

Well they're not part of Wal-Mart's Fall reset, so perhaps Spring.

However, they might be another store chain's exclusive, so they might be out this Fall...but I'd say more likely Spring.

They look really cool. Did anybody notice Longarm comes with a driver? I'm guessing Mikaela

I'll probably get Skorponok since i missed him the first time aorund, and Bumblebee if i can find it.

Eh, movie crap...

But it's good that they're trying new stuff with this. Might benefit other lines.

I'm geting them all because I LOVE THE IDEA of Hasbro putting out "scenes".

ehh...definitely pass.
Although if I do see the capture bumblebee set I'm going to have to pick it up for the 08BB.
