I didn't see that one coming (not sarcasm, I just wasn't expecting these). If these have the original missiles rather than the TRU reissue modded ones then I may just have to give them a look. The clear versions look cool too. If there's a Starscream one it would certainly make a cheaper alternative to the e-hobby Ghost of Starscream figure.

Interesting....
Definitely based on the Commemorative-box style I guess...
But Singapore?
Most of the past KOs came from HK...

If they had a Sunstorm then I'd be interested.
But, yeah, these are decent little guys if .... y'know, you don't have one of the MANY other official seeker releases.
Y'know what woulda been cool? If they just went absolutely nuts with the seeker colors. The G2 colors, the unreleased G2 colors (thinking "Sandstorm" myself), the vaious ehobby colors ... that'd be pretty interesting.

I suppose that you all know that these are the WST seeker jets right? Just wanted to make sure that you know this before bidding.

Between the listed size, the 'minor die-cast parts' and the boxes being knocked off from the TRU reissues I think it's fair to say that these are based off the G1 and not the WST, although with Hero Toy Maker's clear WST Seekers having been around for a while I can see where confusion would arise. To me the far more important question is which missiles do these come with. If they're the shortened version that came with the TRU versions I'll pass on everything bar the couple that Hasbro never reissued and maybe the clear versions, if they've got the proper missiles I'll be spending quite a bit on these over the next few months.

So what are these? World's medium sized Transformers?
Though I like the clear concept, these are a little small unfortunately.

Shortened versions? Didn't the TRU versions come with longer missiles?

Odd choice of packaging- but I am happy that it is easy to spot. I strongly dislike KO's with packaging that mimics the real stuff.

I still think that these are closer to the WST than the G1 sized versions. This auction has a more revealing pic size comparison wise:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Reissu ... dZViewItemThese KOs look smaller than the G1 version to me. Somewhere between the WST and the G1 size IMHO.

Ok, Ok, someone bite the bullet and start bidding. I can't. I'm cut off after October. Not until the New Year can I start getting toys again. However, sometimes, I get my orders into Santa before X-mas. I don't want to ask for these only to find out they're WBSTF.

http://www.unicorncottagecompany.com/st ... racker.jpgThat was annoying to find ... apparently nobody does any shots of the WSTF beside their G1 counterparts. Well, I found one.
And, yeah. These do look like smller G1 versions. Or, quite possible, bigger WSTF. Midway between WSTF and G1.

I was right! They ARE World's Biggest Smallest Transformers. Maybe I should copyright that name.

I'm surprised nobody has done any Classic Seekers KOs yet, especially the Botcon ones. Imagine how popular they'ld be.
