Yes, you read that right – that oddly named piece is the next release from Dr Wu. The Dr of Evil is also known as Dr Archevil, human ally of the Decepticons from the classic Generation 1 Transformers arc The Ultimate Doom. This minifigure is a bit bigger than the Dr Wu Partners figures, and is designed to represent the good evil Dr in all his megalomanical glory.
Please remember, this is a third party item neither endorsed nor licensed by Hasbro, Takara-Tomy or their licensees.

How'd it go? I'm interested in this figure!

No. 1 non-Cybertronian from the G1 show most needing/deserving of an origin episode.

Thanks, gents! Yeah, he's got good feedback so it might be worth the gamble. That figure might be a bit oversized but I reckon he'd still look good paired with MP-52.

Damn. For a minute there I thought those pictures of the Micromaster Thundercracker and Skywarp.

I agree with Alpha Omega Trion, if it's a knock off, it's a damn good one. That's just how mine looked when I got it. Same clear plastic package with the same stickers on it. I'd bet their legit figures in the pictures.
The real question is, is he a legit vendor?
Alpha Omega Trion Supreme
Reminds me of when some Impossible Toys figures(Alpha Trion, Kranix, Arbilis) suddenly sprung up on ebay for relatively cheap. I bought a set and I'm pretty sure they're legit. I'm guessing that was excess stock that somehow got misplaced. I'd wager this is probably the same. Looks just like the one I have on my MP shelf. Looking at the feedback, I'd take a gamble on that.

Sorry for necroing this thread but legit or KO?

So is the Dr. of Evil Human Alliance size?

Agree 100%

Arbitraily, in the absence of any other human toys, or if the HA scale was the only source of Human toys, this isn't so bad, but while there are several other flavors of human guys AND many of the larger toys have useable cockpits that are too small for him, this is just not working for me at the $30 level. $5, absolutely. $10, probably. $15, sure, I'm a sucker. But not 30.
Of all the available scales, HA is my least favorite, as it refuses to blend in at all with ANYTHING other than other HA stuff.

$30 each seems a little much for me. That might hurt sales. I certainly have better things to buy for $30. Heck, I could get a Chrome Seaspray for that. Oh, Dr. of Evil seem to be out now!

I got a message from Dr. Wu today indicating he would be interested in making more G1 human or alien characters. Probably based on how well Dr. of Evil sells. I told him I want to see a Chip Chase and a Carly.

Easy money as long as they're in scale with each other.
This however is ridiculous.
Transbot90210
That is one sweet looking figure.
I look forward to the 3P company that starts making Humans for TF lines.
Talk about easy money.

New image, attack of the clones!

Some company should make all the human/small characters sized to MPs and sell em in sets.
Like a good guys set and a villains set. Im sure those would sell very well.

Can we get a Dr. Braxis next please?
DisThunder
Yeah, damn about sums it up. Spike and Sparkplug scale pretty decent with my current collection, and their size lets me sneak the megabloks Halo guys in with them.
