Fantastic stuff! Now hope that they will find their way to Europe as well….

Look perfect for 20mm, good for 15mm, perhaps tight, but functional, for 28mm.

Looks like a win to me. ;->=

Personally, I hate the 'magic' of transformers, but that's quite serviceable.

Tell us how it takes paint, though.

Awesome find. I always like seeing what you find. I try to search the most obscure shops I can in Chicago for oddity toys, but rarely find anything as cool as that!

I bet with a basecoat of Krylon Fusion or other plastic-specific spray they'd paint up a treat.

Anyone know where you can buy them online.
