Thread move to appropriate section.

Looks nice. I've always had a soft spot for Gears. Still waiting for a Classicsverse Gears, maybe this will have to do.

I will pass on this. I love the more classic toon look of Igear Gears :D

This looks pretty damn good and tempting me. However it does lose some of the classic 'mini-bot' charm that the Igear Gears has as this looks completely modernized.

As a point of comparison, here is the I-Gear 'Cogs':

Really? The US boards have missed it.

This guys been listed on BBTS for a few months now for $69.99

I remember seeing the unpainted prototype a while back.

While the bot mode is quite nice, I don;t really like the space truck vehicle mode much.

Well at least to my knowledge. I don't see any discussions or anything going on in their 3rd party section about it.

He's a bit skinny and flexible for me. I'd rather the hardly movable, compactness of the original cartoon. :cool:

Gears is one of my top three favourite 1984 toys. On the other hand, that third-party thing is hideous, particularly in vehicle mode. The iGear version is better and includes a Man-E-Faces/Double-Trouble style spinning option of toylike/animation-model-like faces.
