amiami has posted images of the upcoming wave of Kabaya Tranformer kits due out in October. As you can see in the images mirrored below the figures are Rodimus Convoy, Victory Leo, and Inferno. If the recent kits are any indication these will probably come with stickers sheets to add additional details.

Looks more like Hot Rodimus to me. Unless the toy is still named Rodimus Convoy regardless. Either way, these look great!

Yeah, I guess he would need his trailer to be Rodimus Convoy.

Still haven't stickered (or painted) my Ultra Magnus yet but that Rodimus is a MUST BUY ON SIGHT! Maybe on Inferno but only because I still feel foolish for turning my Voyager one into Pyro without replacing it first!

I frigging LOVE kabaya figures!

Daniel is going to lose his God damned mind over that Rodimus...

I must be missing something. I think they look terrible. Are they given away free with Happy Meals or something?

^ They're $5 'candy toy' kits, and they require sticker application for detail. For what they are, they're pretty awesome.

Anyway, yes and yes! I hope Victory Leo will combine with Star Saber, but if not, that's okay! I can use a 'WST' version anyway.

Rodimus is cool too but I already have WST Rodimus...maybe I'll pick him up to be Rodimus Prime.

Oh, so these are tiny?

Not at tiny as, o say, Mini-Cons, but yeah, they're small.

And just so you guys know, he's only Rodimus Convoy because he has the Rodimus Convoy gun, instead of the two pistols Hot Rod uses. And he seems to be based on the MP version.

My Ultra Magnus is about 3"-4" tall or 2+ WST Magni tall. Not tiny, just small.


Man, I have to start using Magni as a unit of measurement more often!

Another way of comparison, Kabaya Ginrai is perfectly in scale with WST Convoy. In vehicle mode they're pretty much the same size, in robot mode, Ginrai is taller, as you would expect.

Hmm, in that case I will forgive the looks of the things. Stickers will really help.

The Kabaya Kits are awesome. Sure, they may lack a little bit of articulation and you may need to put stickers on them to look good and you may need to partially disassemble them to transform them, but hot damn they are fun little figures!

The choice of Inferno suprises me. Never saw that one coming.
