Their heads are above their windscreen. :( They should have designed them so the head could be lowered into the chest and look out the windscreen as all good Ratchets and Ironhides should. Otherwise, if these were real Transformers, I would buy an Ironhide because I love the way they've integrated the battle platform weapons into the design, and the water gun hand attachments are also clever.
My resolve broke. These guys are now available in stock at igear. They look brilliant. I ordered one of each. When they arrive I'll post some photos, but in between:

There still not released yet, but I do like the multiple head options. Much like the mini Shockwave in another thread the little touches are nice.
I went by the individual pages which have them listed as in stock. I really hope they are - I've been waiting for what seems like ages now for these guys to be released!

Very nice but a real pity about that price:eek:
You and me both, I've had one on order since last year.Quote:

I sent an email to igear querying when these will be released earlier tonight. I just heard back from igear and they say that these will be released between the 20th and 30th of July. Allowing the 2-3 weeks shipping they quote on their site that hopefully means they should be arriving by the end of August. Fingers crossed.
Unfortunately you can't set your watch by Igear, however I'm hoping this is all cause it's there first foray into making new toys larger than scout size from scratch. So I hope they pick up speed with future releases like Presser and the Sharkticon guy.
Not to be a buzz kill but has anyone noticed that Medics "ambulance" marking is on backwards, 3rd parties sure could use English proof readers.
Also Igear are only selling them as a duo on their web page now, which is also odd.
*Edit* my mistake it appears to be on purpose for rear view mirror viewing, though still doesn't explain why you can't buy them separately anymore.
Hehe, I think that having the word "ambulance" backwards is a pretty cool feature and is some real attention to detail. I really have high hopes for these guys (especially considering the price tag!) and I know it seems silly, but the thing I'm really hoping they have is actual rubber for the tyres. With the amount of chrome they have, including the side mirrors, I think that the rest of them will be great though.
In terms of them removing the individual pages however, this could be a good sign. They were pre-order pages, and leaving the duo page would leave the pre-order incentive for those that are really keen, but for those that only wanted one or the other, the pre-order discount may have been removed.
They may now actually be in hand, or being delivered to igear for distribution as I type (this is of course me speculating with fingers, toes and everything else crossed! C'mon, it's been over a year now and I'm sick of waiting!) :)
