What kind of kid would like that? That's like wanting a toy car which doesn't have rolling wheels. Yep... can't wait for these toys to hit local shelves and keep 'em toasty warm.Originally Posted by Gouki

Perhaps a two or three year-old who is a little young for the transforming figures, quite rough? or just have grandparents who are a bit clueless?

Too many adults in this fandom forget it's not really aimed at them, and not every product in the line needs to meet their (often ridiculous) quality standards. Should they have more detail? Probably. Will I ever buy one? hell no, I'm not really a fan. Do I think they're in anyway aimed at the over 5's? Not at all.
Of course if the RRP ends up being high, I'll be surprised but be proven wrong.

I wouldn't have been interested in this stuff as a kid (I was never a fan of the Action Masters in 1990-91), and my own daughter would've been bored with this stuff as a two year old. At that age she was already playing with Rescue Bots and other transformable Play Skool Transformers. I don't think these toys would really appeal to anyone who's old enough to have teeth.
Kids aren't as stupid as some people might think they are, and they hate being talked down to. The other pre-school/Kindy aged kids at my daughter's Saturday school _love_ playing with various mainstream TFs that I bring each week -- Deluxes, Ultras, Leaders etc. But some of them can be a bit rough, and they have sticky fingers (cos it's during their recess breaks and they often have food in one hand and trying to grab my toy with the other), so yesterday I took a transformable PlaySkool TF along. Nobody wanted to play with it. These are 4-5 year olds. If I bring a Deluxe or Leader Class toy, the kids swarm around me like pigeons on chips.

Actually, I probably would have loved these as akid not to really play ewith (maybe as giants or statues that come to life), but as models to paint and colour in. Probably not their intended purpose, though.

I had a solid image in my head there. Uncle Gok showing the kiddies his toys.
