JustIToys Prototype WSD Sludge and Swoop

Those look utterly fantastic.

I want them, but it makes me want the real deal even more.

im so glad i ordered these two months ago from xbertoys $55 that is with shipping

With the G1 Dinobots unlikely to be reissued & the originals being expensive the WSD's are the next best thing for many collectors and the last 2 look like finishing off the set in style.

Pre-ordered these ages ago. Cannot wait to get them.

Nice, although I'd find a finished one more atractive
Looks good but prices probably are gonna be high.

From TFsource:
"Set Price: WST Jungle Warrior + Mystery Figure Set - $41.90"

About the price of a movie Voyager in my country. I don't think that's too bad.

Dam those look good!

They look good. I only wanted Grimlock initially, now it seems I have to get them all

I just pre-ordered mine yesterday. Just a couple of hours before they posted these images. I can't wait for them to finally release them, my others are lonely.

Well, Justitoys did another good job on these. My finished collection is going to look great. Too bad Takara/Tomy isn't getting the hint...

Wow. Just wow. Swoop is absolutely gorgeous. Guess I know what I'll be asking my wife to get me for Christmas now!

The Justitoys micro dinobots might look a little off scale compared to your G1 bots... but come.... you just "gotta" pose them with Unicron.

Heck yes! Mini-Swoop is looking great, I can't wait to pick him and Sludge up!

Pretty excellent job. I'll be picking these up for sure.

How big are these guys? Are they only a little smaller then the G1 molds or are they alot smaller?

They're about 3" tall.

That's "tiny" to the lamen.

Indeed. But in this case tiny=awesome.

I hope they have a set for sale that has all the swords & missile launchers.....then I would have them all in one nice package! These look really great, I just wish they'd have painted Swoop's chest the Dialone blue instead of red.....I can always fix that though!

wow id ove to have some dinobots those look pretty sweeet

I think that's still in the realm of possibility. These are prototype images after all.

I have the real Diaclone Swoop, and I can tell you the pointed beak instead of the rounded one is inspired by the Diaclone version. The legs are definitely based on the Transformers version though (the Diaclone Swoop doesn't have an iron bar between the legs).

I fully expect the final versions of these to be cartoon acurate, since all their previous releases were. Already have the others, and they're great.

Those are gorgeous, and make me wish I had money; even though I do only have two WSTs anyway.

I just noticed something, though. I don't recall my G1 Sludge having a movable head. Do these WSDs actually have more articulation than the originals..?

Hmm...I think I'll re-paint my G1 Swoop. I'm not one to care about value after all these years, all I care about is cartoon accuracy, so a Diaclone Swoop I shall have! (Plus real Diaclone Swoops would cost me a fortune......)

Some do. The paint and coloring is improved in that it is cartoon accurate.

These are the closest I think we will ever see to a Dinobot reissue anytime soon and they are damn good replicas IMO.

Ya know, if I was serious about collecting these (and I'm considering it!) I'd be perfectly find with their size as is. Don't get me wrong, the regular sized ones have their charm, but these guys...for some reason they seem to be the perfect version for me.

Although I do kinda find it a bit hard to swallow considering you have to remove Snarl's hands/forearms for beast mode.

Ah well. At that price, and a fully complete set, plus Reprolabls (for the small Autobot symbols) is a tremendous deal.

But then I'm afraid I'm gonna get hooked on WST...and I can't afford to do that. It's a domino effect and we're *all* susceptible.

Can't wait to get them!

dangit now I have to go preorder them.

For anyone just starting to collect the WSD, TFsource has about the best deal on them for the 3 that are already out. $45.90 for all 3 WSD.

Justitoys has made some of the nicest TFs in recent years. Tak/Tomy should offer up a license for their products to them like they did with ehobby.

wow!! they both look good! and ofcourse SLUDGE is my fav. dinobot!!!!

Alright, I want these. Does anybody know if they are releasing a box set of all 5? I may hold off ordering if they do.

I was really impressed with Grimlock and Slag. Snarl on the other hand had many loose parts, hopefully Sludge and Swoop will be of the quality of Grimlock. Also if Justitoys stays true to form these will be painted to be cartoon accurate. Can't wait !!

Forgot to say Swoop Rocks !!

hi, yesterday i contacted justitoys because of swoop's cholor scheme. i thought it might interest someone here what they answered me. here are the mails:

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
hi,
i just have one suggestion for you guys from justitoys: PLEASE paint swoop's (the mystery figure's) chest BLUE, to make it show-accurate, just like you did with slag's (flamethwower's) face.
i recently pre-ordered both new dinobots at tfsource.com, and i am a little bit disappointed because of the red chest on the prototype images. red does not look good on him, he doesn't look that way in the cartoon. at least, bring out a blue repaint later on, if it is possible.

thank you for your great work and your amazing toys.
regards,
max

Justitoys announced that they would all be show accurate back when Snarl was introduced.

"Justitoys announced that they would all be show accurate back when Snarl was introduced."

yes, i knew that, too. but the prototype's chest ist painted red, so i had to be sure. excuse me for sharing this curiosity of mine with you...

You're excused

I got Grimlock yesterday and was so impressed I ordered Slag and will get the other 3 as soon as Swoop & Sludge are out.
JustItToys should be allowed to make an "official" line of regular sized Dinobots if Takara don't want to make new molds from intact versions of the original toys.

I just got an e-mail from tfsource saying my order has shipped, but I'm not sure if that means my nike free magnus shipped or the dinobots. There is no word yet on the site.

For anyone needing to catch up on the WST Dinorobots, I picked up 2 from an ebay seller in the USA who is selling Grimlock and Slag for $9.98 after shipping! He has several left.
