actually, there is no Cannonfodder Toynami 1/100 and the inclusion of the A and S model heads on the Hikaru model which is in DYRL colors makes me think these are the Banpresto`s which aren`t compatible with the Toynami`s IIRC.

i didnt think of the possibility of it being banpresto. were the banpresto any good?

you`d have to ask ACS. I don`t own any but as I hear it they tend to fall apart easily.the true FAST/Strike packs from Toynami are (for now anyways) vaporware as in, we`ve seen fully ready sets but gotten no release date or a suggested retailprice.same as with the masterpiece Beta fighter from Toynami.we`ve seen it, but gotten no chances at owning it....and now that CMS is muscling in, Toynami`s gonna lose the cash....BIGTIME.

i happen to own a banpresto and from a figurine standpoint, it is a very cool transforming figurine. from a playable-toy persepctive, very poor. initial transformation is alright, but subsequent ones start to take their toll on the soft-plastic. joints become loose, things pop off, and yeah.. u get the pic.

all in all - good conversation piece, maybe office ornament.. but as a playable toy, NO GOOD.

- p.a.t.

they are horrible. I have the skull leader and he won't hold a pose, nor will he truly hold a transformation. Avoid them at all costs!
