This cute thing appeared on my doorstep today. For a long time I've looked at the e-hobby version and watched it progressively slip out of the justifiable expense realm. I saw this on the Robot Kingdom site and thought why not? It's pretty accurate for something so small and has a die cast middle back section and legs so it feels chunky. But one of the coolest features I think is the way the arms extend! The Astro in the pics is the commemorative series release from a few years back.

So are you saying that it's better than the original?

I'd never go that far, and he is half sized! Actually when I extended his left arm it slipped past the stop notch and his forearm detached - woops :( (but easy to reattach). Really I would have loved to get an e-hobby one, but $300 is probably my upper limit on any one item and they're now out of range for me.

WST Transformers are awesome :cool: I have all the Dinobots aside from Grimlock (have my original G1) and I love them. I couldn't afford to buy the original toys in the condition I desire (C9+) so they were an affordable alternative.
