Fellow Seibertronian Emerje told us he found the first preorders for the Kotobukiya D-Style Seekers which include Starscream, Thundercrakcer and Skywarp.

AmiAmi has the first pre-orders I've seen up, all coming in September.

:lol: The "yelling" faces all make them look like toddlers fighting over the only shovel in the sand box. :lol:
But all the faces are fun and hilarious. If I didn't already have a bunch of MyClones from back in the day, I'd be all over these.

Preordered! Something about these cute little guys just melts my blackened heart. And of course, I'm cool with chibi.

I put together Megatron and still need to find time to put together Prime. I also need to pick something up that I can darken those open mouths with, so they look better than they do right now without any black.

The Seekers are fantastic, and I preordered them as well this morning at HLJ.

So.... do these actually transform? I'm not seeing any robot bits or thickness under that airplane mode. Also don't see any creases where wings should pivot.

So are these snap together model kits like some of the other Kotobukiya kits? I'm assuming pre painted?

I have a few of the Megaman kits and they are pretty cool.

So adorably evil! Remembering the pilot episode 30 years ago...... :D

Unfortunately Megs is already sold out :sad:

Yes these are snap together plastic and no they are not pre painted. They'll require some paint to look exactly like the stock images. Most of these kits seem to use 3 or 4 different colors of plastic.

I haven't received Megatron yet (any day now), but Optimus had the yellow on his belt pre-painted. I assumed all of them have at least one detail painted. But really these guys (or at least Optimus) look pretty good without paint. They use a lot of small colored parts instead of needing painted details. Just use an ultra fine tip pen to do the panel lines and you're golden.

My only wish is that Starscream had a darker face.

Kind of like Bandai's Mastergrade series. Looks good already but with paint applications, more the better.

I was thinking about getting these, then ultimately decided that they were too expensive for something I have to assemble myself...

If they are anything like the Megaman one's; assembling is the easy part. The parts have to be taken off the sprues, then the remaining bit cleaned up.

I enjoyed putting them together, but not the prep-work.

I do like the look of these. I would like to see them in their unfinished state though.

As someone who occasionally does Gundam model kits, assembling is part of the fun.

Most of these do look good out of box, but the mini alt modes seem to be missing a lot of color.

Yeah, when it's the Kabaya kits and assembling a tiny fort max.... So so so so fun.
