Okay, A) it's really weird writing about yourself in the third person, B) these guys are ridiculously cute and surprisingly detailed and C) I got an extra Bumblebee (damn random machine) so if anyone desperately wants him please let me know.

They're pretty cute but not my cup of tea.

Man, I love these. The best one is totally Prowl. His long chin makes him really look like just a head with arms and legs. I need to somehow get a set of these guys... Hey, Diem... if you ever find yourself with a few sets of these, I think you and I should do business again!

I'll find out how much a set costs and PM you. Did you want all 6 or any specific figures?

I wonder how big are these compared to the figures that BIP made.

These aren't my thing, but I do love that last pic.
I can't decide if Arcee has them like pets on leashes or puppets on strings...

Ahhh! It looks like Arcee is babysitting lil' Bumblebee and lil' Bulkhead. So cute!

If anyone has multiples of these, I am totally interested! I love 'em! Maybe we can even work out some trades.

I thought Arcee decapitated 'Bee and Bulkhead in that thumbnail pic. I thought this product was going in a very dark direction - or maybe there is something wrong with me?

Wow, the popularity of these guys is blowing me away! I've had a lot of PMs asking about prices and whether I can get these for them so I'll lay down the facts here:

Each individual figure costs 200 yen, which is around $2.20. However the figure obtained is random. As most of you want Optimus Prime specifically (and he may well be shortpacked) it'll cost more simply because I may end up with a load of different keychains before I get even one Optimus. I do know that there are some hobby shops that sell figures like this in sets or individually so I'll find out how much those options cost.

Packaging cost depends on whether you want the plastic "egg" that they come in or not but it should only be a few dollars.

A new challenger appears!

For those of you who have asked me to get these figures, I'm gradually building up a stock of these guys. To make it fair I'm operating on a first come first served basis so I'll PM you individually as and when I've got them.

For those who want one figure, I'm gonna say $4 plus postage.

For those who want a whole set, I'll be asking $25 plus postage, but if I get lucky with the random distribution I may be able to make it cheaper.
