Those are cool but not for that price. The only one that i would even consider buying for those prices is that Cyclonus one.

I agree, looks like classics got some competition. They even got an Octane too but for prices like that and them being unpainted it's not worth it
Want List:Armada Skywarp, Cybertron Thunderblast, Energon Dreadwing or Mirage.

As much as Classics PowerGlide made my jaw drop, I'd realy rather have seen them do a scout class like this kit for him.
Hopefully Cyclonus, they'll do that with as I'd love to see him get some proper treatment.

Awesome news. I would prefer a more 'finished' product even if it cost a little more.

They both look really nice, but $65 is just to much for me to shell out for these guys. I think the Powerglide will sell much better than Wheelie for obvious reasons.

Powerglide looks pretty good, just what I would expect from these guys. But no amount of increased articulation or better sculpting could ever get me to like the character. Could never stand him in the show. Octane looks great though.

AWESOME!! Finally! A "Wheelie" that doesn't look like it was unable to get a job as a Gobot or an Orbot!
But then the creators came around and ruin it by sticking Wheelie's head back down.
Hasbro should be taking notes by now.

Not only is Powerglide so good it makes Hasbro look bad, but
Jizaitoys showed pics of their prototypes of Powerglide and Octane well before Hasbro confirmed they were doing those characters for Classics/Universe.
Part of me wonders if Jizaitoys' choice had anything to do with Hasbro subsequently just happening to pick those same characters.
What Jizaitoys are doing is exactly what Classics should've been.

More scoop-
I spoke with the designer "Emperor Leo" in December and he expressed that these will be painted in two different basic colors. He usually makes 80 of each character to sell at the Wonder Festival shows. So that means that at the Summer Wonder Fesitval 2008 show - expect to see more.
Jizaitoys has fallen behind in the production because they've been deeply involved in the design of Octane and Powerglide. They were hoping to have Octane complete as well for this show, but it is still a work in progress. Obviously a triple changer with 3 perfect modes are hard to do.
He did tell me that the assembly is not that challenging but some special modeling tools are required. Unfortunately, Jizaitoys does not sell their products outside of the Wonder Festival shows in Tokyo. And sadly, from what I have heard from participants at past shows - the scalpers purchase these pretty quickly. That means expect to see these on the auction sites but at higher prices.
Jizaitoys is not interested in mass producing these or selling their molds to other companies. They seem to be pretty content at making and designing the characters and not that interested in making a huge profit. They do commission work from time to time, which is why you'll see lots of different morphing characters including Chromedome (which is not for sale).

Is there a way I can order some of those things? I'm liking the g1 guys (wheelie, cyclonus, etc), and some of those beasts too (the hippo in robot mode looks pretty cool.)
(On a side note, I don't mind if it means I have to order them unpainted).
