Some pics, and semi-review...
(and a repeat of what I said in the previous post - don't spend more than 50c on these... if that)

The master carton. Probably the most impressive thing about these. It is a bigger case than the 24-pack Kreo master cartons, yet the contents are smaller, so the bags inside the box were floating around rather loose.


Back of the box.


The top folded up for in-store display (Point Of Sale).


The 12 figurines in this series. Since there were 24 bags in the box, I was hoping it would be a neat two of each. I didn't want to be stuck with a spare set, but BBTS were only selling cases and single bags... so this was the best way to guarantee a single set. Unfortunately, the case of 24 cost US$50, which is over US$2 per figurine PLUS shipping. That's almost US$3 each, which would equate to about AU$5 here.
And when you see just how tiny these are, there is no way they are worth that much.


From the official images above, you can see that some of the figurines below have some different, or absent, paint apps.
The paint on Optimus' legs is scaled back so much that it looks like war-paint, rather than blue legs... making it look even cheaper than it already is.
Admittedly, Optimus and Bumblebee probably have the most paint apps on them, but most only have 3 or 4, with the worst being Bisk, who only has just two tiny dots of paint on it.
And these are just lumps of plastic with NO moving parts, so would be a great money maker for Retailers and Hasbro.
Cliffjumper and Sideswipe both have black instead of grey, while Optimus has grey on the legs instead of black.


Some of the poses are trying to be "Action poses", but fail. Strongarm looks like a boxer, while Sideswipe looks like he's sliding into home at a baseball game.
Grimlock is the odd one out, being in alt-mode, while everyone else is in their robotic mode (the non-alt-mode).

Speaking of Strongarm, mine can't stand up without bending one of the legs to the point of showing stress marks... but the rubbery nature of the figurine means that it slowly straightens back to its original position, and as such, the figurine eventually falls over.



Each comes with a thick character card and instructions sheet for using the RID game app with these toys - you scan the circular "barcode" that is on the character cards.

On the back of the pack, just above the white square at the bottom right of the pack, is a small rectangular window to see inside... and work out who is in the "blind bag".


A comparison of size, sculpting, articulation and amount of paint.

From left - Robot Heroes Optimus & Megatron (from 2007), RID Tiny Titans Steeljaw (the smallest) & Bluestreak (equal biggest), and Rescue Bots Cody (from series 1 with moving parts) & Doc Greene (from series 2 with no moving parts).
Steeljaw is less than half the size of the Robot Heroes and Rescue Bots.
And just look at how much paint is covering the Robot Heroes and Rescue Bots figurines, AND they had moving parts. These RID figurines are 5 cents of plastic and paint, bagged up and priced at $2-3.


A new low for Hasbro with Transformers.
