Scroll down, you'll see it. So what, no honorable mention?

I can tell you, these just have yet to export to BBTS or any of the other sites, so don't hold your breath on this one.

I didn't bother reporting this as news cause it probably is gonna end just the way you're seeing it.

IF anything, the $250 dam good G1 HeadMaster Arcee which they've had for a while is far more noteworthy than the clay annoying kid.

Seriously, what are the odds of that??!!!! Wow. I gave you the nod cause for that freakiness you deserve it.

I thought so too.

Which is precisely why today I bought a G.I. Joe scale Shia Labeouf from the new Indiana Jones toy line - . -

True. And while I have no real problem with human characters getting toys (provided we're not flooded with them) i'd much prefer a jointed figure like Energon Kicker over a static one.

I mean how am I suppose to play with my humans and TF's if the humans can't move and be posed?

Ah yeah, thats just dumb. Like the old school army soldiers that came 1000 in a bag, lol.

I wonder what scale TF's she'd go with though. And she'd definately have to have poseablity and the Allspark key necklace.

Am I the only thinking they need to pick up this figure, grab their G1 Perceptor, put her beneath his magnifying glass and line it up with the sun?

And really, those army soldiers were pretty cool. Mostly because "back in those days" we hadn't, or were still discovering, Transformers so the army dudes entertained us immensely.
Or maybe I was just a very lonely child.

Absolutely not excited, and Sari's my favorite human character in all TF lore, too. If Hasbro made a big Bumblebee toy with a poseable Sari to ride inside, I'd be embarrassingly happy. This? Meh, some people collect sculptures, but I like toys.

Later on in Animated, maybe they'll release a Sari figure with a key that unlocks functions similar to the keys in the Cybertron line. The functions would need to feel more creative and more significant, though, and not be used across the entire line, otherwise kids and collectors alike would feel annoyed. Done right, though, I'd very much enjoy Sar incorporated into the toyline.

Just not like this.

That sounds frighteningly like Kiss*Play...

sigh anythign to make money looks like a pvc figure looks good but i dont this character i find her to be anyoing

I never even saw the Screen Sets in stores! Anyway, with Sari, you have a special character who carries a plot-significant gizmo for interacting with the Transformers. That could be worked into play in several ways. She might end up with even more she can do, depending on who/what she turns out to be in the current plot arc. I doubt we'd see Sari to scale (which scale?) but she might make sense as a toy of some kind. Probably not as a solid lump, though.

The reason they don't sell is less to do with having human figures and everything to do with them costing double the price of the included deluxe figure that most collectors already have anyway.

I'd like them to do human figures from Animated, but this isn't the way to do it.
