After seeing the vangulus video over at tfw2005 I'm really looking forward to the release of these toys. The C clips actually ratchet and the ball joints are, "co-molded" meaning they cast the hard plastic part first and then cast the rubber ball over that (Lego uses a similar method to make the dice for their games.)

I see a lot of versatility for this kind of construction toy, imagine a GI Joe line similar to the old sigma 6 line that came with a weapons case, or even using the pieces to build an exo suit for a 3.5 inch Joe figure or a Star Wars figure? Yes I'm aware that the original SW TF's came with forgettable mini figures.
