Those are pretty cool, but too expensive. I don't buy busts, anyway.

Their stuff is fairly comparable with what we've seen w/ Hard Hero & Palasides, almost like a hybrid of the two styles, but that Omega Supreme is pretty damn sweet!

I like the Optimus and Starscream and Omega Supreme bust they have detail in them.

That Omega s hot! Based on Don's Dreamwave rendition if I'm not mistaken.

These look more comic book influenced, while the Hard Hero busts, very cool in their own right, were very clearly based on cartoon designs.
Palisades was much more detailed, and also very similar to DW comic designs.
I have the Grimlock on preorder, but I may have to get me a Soundwave, and Starscream too.
Omega Supreme is awesome, but probably too expensive for me to buy.

These are so much better than the Hard Heros!
Bumblebee looks to angry, But Omega may just be my first statue! I love that character, and thats a great rendition!

I haven't noticed this before, but is that a Heart of Cybertron on Megatron's base?
It would make sense since that's all he really ever had as an outside power source, and it would counter Prime's Matrix

Terrible.
Everyone except for Omega Supreme looks like they're in a wheelchair.

I really like all of those. The only statue I have is the Soundwave statue from a few years back. That Omega might be numero two.

These are great! Too bad I don't have the money nor the time for the space for such things, even though they're pretty.

How much are these? I love the Grimlock and Soundwave ones (surprise).
Omega, Prime and Megatron look awesome too.

OMEGA SUPREME looks amazing! By my calculations, the body is 10inches tall and the wings/tracks stand 14 inches tall. The Grimlock bust is 6 inches tall so the white card next to him would be around 1.5 to 2 inches tall. If Omega is this big, he will be worth the price. PLEASE GET APPROVED!

I wonder how long it would take to save up for Omega Supreme if I opened up a lemonade stand...

I think the bases they are connected is the best part about them so unique and interesting. I REALLY like that Omega Supreme. Too bad they don't do much than sit there...Rather buy some Yamato stuff for the prices they ask...but that Omega Supreme is so damn sweet *sigh*....

I am not sure where they're getting the "prices" from, but I will hopefully get me a Starscream, no matter the cost...

I can see the effort they put into them, but i really really dislike these compared to the hard hero busts...

GROOVY!
(Looks like they would cost far more than the other batch of busts, though.
