The figures are small and rather simple, but there is more than meets the eye here! Underneath the cap is a small hexagon shaped paper insert that shows off the other figures in the series. On the flip side are different little diorama images. Simply fold the insert to display the image you want and then insert it into a small ridge in the top of the cap and you've got yourself a rather nifty diorama display!
I should have put a SFC figure in the picture for scale purposes as these little guys are fairly small. There is a small bit of assembly required when you first remove the figure from the cap. Usually it's just attaching the legs to the upper half of the body. To be so simple of a figure, I was surprised to see a few paint apps. I also didn't expect the PVC figure to contain much detail, but if you look carefully on Astrotrain's wings you'll see a small Decepticon symbol!
I know these type of things don't appeal to every Transformers fan, but I find them fascinating and best of all, they don't take up much space on my display shelves!
I LOVE the Suntory figures. They display really great on base-formers like Fort Maz and gives the base a realism and scale that sometimes, even SCF cannot do.
ReplyDeletedo you have the remainder of the line? Shockwave is really nice.

I bought a ton of those trying to get the 2 exclusive Microns, but I only kept a few of the PVCs.
DeleteI remember reading about these a few years ago. They're a lot more detailed than I thought they would be. It's crazy how Japan gets all of these awesome little things.
