I didn't understand this comment at first but now I do. I mean, get that money I guess. Toy collecting isn't cheap.

You damn right

Check out that Instagram account when you have a minute, way more than cleavage there.

these RED Prime and Megatron figures look good, they do. I just wish these were better quality. Arcee was just not good, and that is why I didn't get Knockout and why I am hesitant on these.

I really want to like them since they look good, but the quality is a huge concern for me

Yeah, they didn't even paint Meg's cannon

I may get that Megatron…
And I’m definitely interested in Thundercracker (& Shockwave).
Although all of these will have to be on a sale for me to bite.
No way am I spending $24.99 on a R.E.D. figure.

Anyway, I really like these figures (particularly Megatron), but it still doesn't appeal to me. Call me when we get Transmutate, Sari or Autobot X.

And I hope they eventually retool Megs into his Unicron form. I'm still waiting on a show-accurate version of that, and RED's replacement weapons/hands would really fit for his Dark Energon weaponry.

This is actually brilliant. I love this idea

Took Knock Out to work this week. He has some good to him for sure. I like the fact they got his design proper and right, and the arms can do some really fun stuff. I do wish his head could rotate more and that he had more knee bend, but mostly, it's just still the plastic quality. He feels so gummy and not overly solid.

But despite that, he has won me over some. I like him, and he will be kept. He is especially good at capturing the sass-master type attitude of Knock Out himself, which really helps him here

Figures going on clearance don't always mean the line is going away. Clearance is something that just happens from time to time.

So I got the Prime Optimus Prime and Megatron in from Pulse.

RED continues to be a disappointment in terms of plastic quality. Despite yet more time, the figures just feel gummy and not very good. The joints are still real gummy and don't like to rest really anywhere you want them to. The sculpts are decent, it is just the build letting them down mostly. I wish they had some more paint work too, especially Optimus.

The weapons are also suffering. Much like Knockout, they came deformed and are not easy to bend and keep back in place. Though the effects parts for Megatron is really neat. that also reminds me, the smokestacks on Prime's back came badly bent and will not settle in a good place.

This line has so much potential, it does. But 4 figures in for me and none of them have impressed me very much at all. And that sucks, we have several really good 6" lines, why is this one so much lower in quality?

It really does, I honestly can't think of another line that is close to it in terms of quality/build/etc. I collect Marvel Legends, Black Series, and Plasma series, and none of those 3 feel anywhere near like these do. And the regular figures, cyberverse, SS, Legacy/WFC, have this same feel or gummy-ness either
