AC Toys has posted images of the soon to be released Transformers Disney Label – Mickey Mouse. The picture gives a good reference of scale. This figure will come in two painted versions – Red & Blue and Monochrome. The expected release month is March.
Oh great, it's tiny. And just when I was starting to like it. Damn it, a tiny, over-priced, shell-former. Not good... I might still pick it up but only if I find it for half-price or more as opposed to the absurd US$50 asking price.
Wow...I have to say that it's pretty much EXACTLY the size I was expecting it to be...
I'm pretty torn on this one...It's really nicely done and it's very unique...But on the other hand, it's $50 and it's Mickey Mouse for crying out loud...I know if they make a "Megatron" then I will definately want both...
You know what? I am glad its so small. I think it works better as a unique collectors piece. Had it been large it would have looked more like a toy....if that makes any sense.
As it is, the detailing works better on the smaller size.
... For as much as I was able to make myself start liking aspects of this toy, the size + price is a massive turnoff right there.
Don't blame Hasbro for the price. Blame Disney, it's likely their demand for high royalty rates and such that pushed the price up so high.
Before we had hoped that maybe it would spawn some other neat figures like Donald/Starscream. Now I'm just hoping Hasbro realizes this is a losing partnership and cans it afterwards.
Well, I was going to ask if anyone knew whether these would be sold at regular retail stores or if it would be an exclusive Disney Store item. With a $50.00 price tag, it's a Disney Store item. This is going to suck for the folks that are willing to pay the money but don't have a Disney Store close by. Out of all the malls in my area (covering a huge stretch along the I-5 corridor in Washington) I can only think of 2 where I could pick this piece up. Over half a dozen collector shops will have them but they are going to jack the price up 25-50% easily. Too bad I sold some of my larger TF's already. I could have used them for barter with one of the shop owners to get Mickey.
Wooow... how tiny it is, huh I didn't see this coming, I thought it would be big as a voyager class transformer, not G1 scale. I don't know if the price measures up to the size, I learned the hard way when I got the Nike Optimus Prime figure, not to scale...
