I would love to see those. Hasbro DID dip their toes into it with the likes of the Centurion pack and similar. They hedged their bets by making them pack-ins with a figure, but I would be just as happy to buy them by their lonesome.
Agreed. This mold is more of a "complicated" leader class than a "large" leader class. My ideal Blackout would be a big boy. I tried to incorporate a bit of Animated Blackout face in this head. Any and all Animated references are always welcome.
Agreed. The combination of figure and packaging is absolutely fantastic for these, so it would be the sort of thing I would actually keep MIB as opposed to my usual take-it-out-and-play-with-it style of collecting. If I had grown up reading the Marvel Comics, I would maybe bite on these. As...
I'm holding out hope that maybe Swoop comes with all the extra swords, too, but in silver to match the one that came with Snarl. If so, I could see Hasbro waiting a bit to show him so as not to loose people that were buying Grimlock here to get a set.
As a bit of an aside, we have Grimlock...

Just as a quick "after" update, I did get the kit and install it on my spare Sludge.
Overall, very impressed with it. There was a lot of effort put in to make Paddles' robot and dinosaur modes look significantly different from Sludge. Installation was pretty easy. Some parts that were...
