Not sure if this has been posted yet:

Jizaitoys is producing a toon accurate Powerglide character. Jizaitoys produced a toon accurate Cyclonus, Wheelie to date, and Octane is now in the pipeline.

I've seen this one before, but only as a prototype (not as detailed pisctures as these). I don't like it as it is lacking a ot of details in the wings, they are too squared off. Even though it is supposed to be cartoon accurate, the wing tips should have a slight downward winglet.

I think this is awesome, if I could just figure out how to order one ... hell, I'd even order a Wheelie.

The Wheelie and Cyclonus molds are masterpiece-worthy.

How does one buy these?

Cool stuff, love the figure. So, yeah, how do you buy it?

Heh heh, I'm looking at the drawings they did for this, and it seems that LED heart design that Powerglide got at the end of "The Girl Who Loved Powerglide" was drawn in. I wonder if it'll be a feature

.

These guys seem to like doing some of the less popular characters. I mean, first Wheelie and then Powerglide, the abusive boyfriend. Still though, those are amazing. Also, I think more work is being done on the models, so the wings are bound to get rounded off and whatnot.

You can buy them here. It's in Japanese, but if you email them they will probably help you out. http://www.herogangu.jp/fs/webshop/c/2ot

They're are expensive though because they are not mass produced.

I think you are right that Powerglide is still going through the drafting phase. It's too bad these couldn't be made larger and mass produced by Takara.

Cyclonus is awesome. :3

Every time I see those I get mad at Takara/Hasbro. Classics should look so good

They're still designing him, so I wouldn't be surprised if his look different.

Looking at the rough draft, it seems they will add the heart inside with a move-able torso panel. I'm amazed at the detail that they put into these.

These are amazing, but they're so expensive ... it's too bad I don't have a really high paying job. I'd buy all of these. Even Wheelie. All are really great for any collection.

They are nice and look nice but nowhere near masterpiece worthy, believe me. I own both of them. Here's a thread I started with tons of pics of Wheelie & Cyclonus:

Wow! According to an online currency converter, they are roughly $340 each plus shipping. Damn. They are nice, but not that nice!

I paid nowhere even remotely close to that price.

I added a new pic to the Cyclonus & Wheelie thread, a nice shot of Wheelie and Daniel:

I'm the same way. I hate Wheelie as a character, but I kinda love his design and want one.

They are on Ebay for much worse prices.
