What did you search for? I can't seem to find them on eBay.

Good news is that they are even more awesome than the pictures would suggest. Bad news is they are selling them at gundam prices, $25 or so, $33 with shipping. Honestly, as awesome as they are, Gundams are better and more detailed so for people interested in such things at such pricepoints the Gundams are a better deal for the money IMHO.

You know, with the Ghost in the Shell movie coming down the road, it wouldn't surprise me to see these brought over by Big Lots or other similar stores as their budget-rate tie-ins, similar to how they did with things like excess Transformers Legends toys for movie tie-ins and extra The Corps! stuff when the GI Joe movies hit.

I considered the purchase but ultimately if I'm going to spend $30-40...i want the multi figure pack with APC. Besides...I'm still enjoying the hell out of my mega books call of duty figures so I'm in no rush. I've asked the seller a few questions. If we all bombard the guy with request maybe he'll bring his prices down & acquire other items from the line.

The prices from that Taopao place isn't that bad of prices... shipping shows only a $1 to ship overseas....

So -- this line is already OUT overseas. Not sure that bodes well for an American debut. Although one can still hope.

Went ahead and ordered one of the linked sets. Too interested to pass it up. Justifying it as a $15 set plus the cost of admission to check it out early(ish).

We all look forward to the review

Definitely worth the read. Surprisingly Hasbro is mentioned several times and is directly responsible for the creation of this line(!) *although not in the way you might think.

This could have been Sigma Six.
Armored Special ops against robots and aliens.
Maybe it could still be if Hasbro wants to get a new generation into the brand.

Received my AWB Water Propeller set today from China/Ebay. Overall I'm quite pleased. To keep things easy I'm going the bullet point route then pics.

Articulation:
* Neck - left/right slight up/down
* Shoulder - Similar to 25th Joes however it is pressure based versus the ratcheting effect Joes have.
* Elbows - Ratcheting style same as Joes.
* Chest/Gut - left/right moderate up/down.
* Thigh - Has two joints, one for forward/back and another that is like a sliding pin, see pics I tried to highlight this one since I knew I wouldnt be able to properly explain it.
* Knee - Ratcheting and spin, same type as elbow. Can actually put a fut on their knee but due to the bulk can't go full cross legged. Sorry lady Ammobots.
* Ankle - left/right and up/down. Though due to the armor you're not going to make much use of this articulation.

Weapons/Accessories
* Very hard plastic, it isnt brittle but I could see breaking the barrel off of the rifle easy enough.
* The holster, pistol, backpack and a few other bits come on a sprue.
* Pistol doesnt fit tight in the holster, but that's easy to remedy.

Pros/Cons
* Pro - just a hair shorter than Joes.
* Pro - great articulation
* Pro - armor around the hips and ankles is actually a soft rubbery plastic so that it doesnt negatively impact articulation as much.
* Con - Those giant feet! At least these things wont get knocked over easily in battle. That said I suppose depending how far into the future this is supposed to be I guess many current test robots have larger feet for balance.
* Con - The non-ratcheting shoulders may get loose over time.
* Con - I would love to get more, these definitely call for having the full line, but obviously availability is lacking currently.
* Con - If these were released in the US I'd prefer a softer plastic for the weapons.

Would I buy more or recommend?
If I saw these on the shelf I would probably buy the entire line in one purchase, including multiples of some of the Ammobots and enemies. I would have LOVED these as a kid and would very much like to have more now. Though I'm not sure I can justify the $25 with shipping per figure the one ebay seller currently is asking.

Hopefully that answers most of the questions on our minds, if you come up with any others please let me know.
