Our own Gaokaiser has found more great photos from Wonder Festival 2008, from Red Beetle and Toy-bu. In addition to more photos of upcoming Henkei Transformers, Marvel Transformers and the Encore Metroflex (inhabited in city mode by the just-released Encore Minibots), we also see some fantastic customs and Jizaitoys Wheelie and Powerglide! Check out all the mirrored images by clicking the thumbnail!

Thanks dude! What's type of material is the kit made of? Resin? Plastic?

Darn, if I knew a member was going to Wonderfest…I would have asked if they could make arrangements to pick me up Gurren-Lagann :/

Nice score!
Did you happen to catch any info on the grimlock/wheelie statue? Is it something for mass release or a custom? I only ask cuz it seems to have a price tag, I'm really confused, any info would be appreciated!
DeathStorm
So is that what Gnaw is as well? I only ask because a MISB G1 (reissue or not) is on my want list and if this is some upcoming reissue I might hold off on the original.

About $50 per kit. The kit looks nothing like the final piece and a lot of work will be needed to look presentable.
LigerPrime
Congrats! How much did it cost per kit?

The Revoltechs are all customs. I picked up 2 of each (SoundWave, Shockwave and Magnus) at Wonderfest. It is an unpainted kit, so I am going to have to assemble and paint it myself. It looks rather complicated, but doable. I think they were limited to about 30 pieces each and I was lucky enough to snag as many as I did.

These just can't come fast enough!

@#%^! The colour scheme on Heikei Sunstreaker looks so much better as in more consistent! I may have to pick him up!

Those are some spectacular customs!
I never thought I'd actually *want* a Wheelie.
That Powerglide is fantastic… Gnaw! Magnus?? Soundwave?!?! Shockwave!!!
*drool*

Gorgeous, but I"m also digging those new zoid figs, especially King Gojulas, who reminds me of Heisei series Godzy.
MetroBoy
I'd love it if some of the online retailers like BBTS could get a hold of some of these like they did with the City Commander sets. Wheelie goes for stupid money on the secondary market.

i like that red megnus
Fort Max
Poor showing from Takara, no Classics Ratchet and no GT-R Convoy.
SkyQuake
There is no amount of saying "they need to mass produce Wheelie, and Powerglide" that could be enough.
ORIO
I'd like to know this as well, if anyone has the info!

Man… I want those Revoltechs. I also wish there were bigger pics of them.
I remember seeing that or an UM custom before. Anyone know who did these or any more details? The adventurist in my mind wants to try a hand at making one myself one of these days…
EDIT – Wow… found more WIP pics for other custom Revoltechs by these guys (I assume) : http://www.over-drive-inc.com/overdrive-blog/info/325.html
