More Toy Images Of Kabaya Transformers Gum Box Figures - Ultra Magnus, Prowl & Skyfire

UM is still a solid "Must have". It'll be fun detailing that one. Prowl and Sky/Jetfire I can live without though.

From those pictures, I think they look better than I expected.

Hmm. Not too bad, but considering I recently won a WST Magnus on eBay, I'll pass. Providing it shows up in the mail, of course...

heerotoysmaker (etoyshunter) WST version of Ultra Magnus is very impressive. It is just about perfect in every way, especially if you got the G1 colored version with the stickers. You will not be disappointed

One thing though, make note of the sliding switches on the bottom of the trailer that hold the "legs" in place when in robot mode. I didn't notice them at first and the legs were floppy which annoyed me.

Cool, thanks for the tip! I'm definitely looking forward to getting it.

Man I want at least some version of G1 Magnus.

Maybe because kids in Japan are more adept at removing tiny toy parts from tiny sprues and assembling tiny toys out of them?

Quit painting American children as being stupid or less intelligent. People making comments like this are helping to add to the stigma that our children are less intelligent.

I guarantee you that there are children here in the US who would crush the competition with their incredible IQs.

The main reasons why we don't have these? Safety laws and no market for them.

It's as simple as that.

Chillax, I wasn't referring to your children.

I don't have kids. I just believe they deserve better.

I've a feeling it's more the latter than the former. Model kits like this are recommended for ages ten and up, which would be right in Hasbro's target audience, but kids these days probably aren't interested in a fragile, limited articulation toy they have to put together.
