The Adventure Kabaya set (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=22200) is still yet to come out in February, and we find out about the next set (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/01/28/kabaya-candy-optimus-prime-bumblebee-megatron-starscream-combiner-308539) - a combiner that cashes in on the current Combiners theme... but an all new combiner, because they've already done versions of the Protectobots, Aerialbots, Stunticons and Combaticons.

This new combiner is a four member team, of an unlikely grouping.... Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream.
And the fascinating thing is that the individual characters appear to be based on the Cyber Battalion toys... which had a very limited release and are very rare. The original toys didn't combine, so this is an interesting extra step by Kabaya, which wasn't even necessary, as these would interest all those people who couldn't find or afford the original toys (like their Japanese Gen1 Model kits).

I think this set is coming out in April, but I could be reading it wrong.

I really wish someone would think to release double sized KOs of these Kabaya combiners, as finished painted toys.

Has science gone too far?

I love the Transformers Kabaya sets. They're always fun and quirky. I hope they'll be easy to find so I can add this group to my slowly growing collection.
