New 6-Inch Non-Transforming R.E.D. Transformers Line

[High_Q]

I think I might grab a Jazz, maybe soundwave.

R.E.D. Soundwave (TFW2005 has pics) includes an alt-mode Lazerbeak that can be stored in Soundwave. If these are all scaled and at the same price point, then tiny G1 Bumblebee should include both the robot and the car.

It's interesting that these are coming out so soon after the shitty barely articulated ones that have been available for some time now.

I think these new ones are intended as modern articulated action figures whereas Super7's ReAction figures are mainly for retro appeal display. I like both kinds but ReAction figures are expensive, at about the same price as these REDs.

6 Inches is too small. I would of jumped on it at 12 inches though.

Also an important distinction is that Super7 Reactions are 3.75?, and only five points of articulation (POA). These look to have the articulation of Marvel Legends figures, and interchangeable parts (eg. hand for Megatron holding Energon cube).

Interesting, but they don't seem any more articulated than the current MP toys. Still if they start making some more obscure characters I might get some.

A good way to get people in I think. I mean you can't say they aren't cartoon accurate right? Well, I am sure someone could. But I bet if you had enough after a a while they'd make a very nice display. I like 6 inch action figures and could probably happily get some of these guys (assuming the price isn't ridiculous)

I like non-transforming animation accurate TFs, so might get OP and Bumblebee. However, I'll wait for more reviews before deciding due to at least one report of sticky plastic and bended parts.

[reillyd]

Ewww, sticky plastic is so gross. There was a Hasbro line - I forget what it was called, but it was low quality plastic parts that were interchangeable across characters, and i had to stop collecting it because it was so gross. I think maybe it was Construct-o-bots?

I hope it was just a bad batch, and that other figures are okay.
