Chinese company Audley have revealed the prototypes of their new G1 And Transformers One action figures.
Revealed at Wonder Festival Shangai 2024, we have a look at these new non-transformable action figures. We have the following presentations:
- 7-inch non-scale ONE characters (only arms swingable, no other articulation)
- 7-inch non-scale G1 characters (only arms swingable, no other articulation)
- Alpha Action – Elite – Blind-boxed mini size G1 characters, wave 1. Highly poseable, characters in scale with Optimus being 13 cm, Jazz about 11cm. Cliff and Kickback both being 5.5 cm, and will be packed in 1 box.
We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with this space for more updates.

I can’t image anyone actually liking it.

I personally hate, detest, and despise blind box.

Also interesting that Arcee is the only one tacked to an acrylic panel, presumably for stabilty. That could be an issue on release version if they don't include some kind of blokees style stand.

Do wish Arcee’s shoulder kibble was a bit larger. It seems undersized compared to the cartoon.

Interested in the smaller articulated ones. To bad the 7 inch is less than basic 5 points, that would of put them above Super 7 Ultimates, oh well. Beggars can't be choosers, I guess.

Not a chase. He comes in a set with the Insecticon. All of them are blind boxed. Price in China is 69 Yuan.

Cliffjumper is blind boxed? Is he a chase? Sure hope not. I\'ll buy him if he\'s a reasonable price.

The little G1 blind box figures look fun! I'll probably grab them. Hopefully these are similar to Blokees and you can just purchase a case get all six sets.
It's always nice to get a Cliffjumper before a Bumblebee. I wonder if that is Buzzsaw or Laserbeak?

These look good

These look pretty clean, I'd like to see them in color.

Man, if you want a specific portion of the TF1 or G1 cast as an action figure you are really spoiled for choice right now.
Hopefully these lines do well enough to get some Action Masters, Pretender Shells, the Masterforce cast or other humans, or otherwise non-transforming characters like Transmutate/Autobot Spike/etc in the mix. With most of these lines being much less expensive than stuff like Ultimates, I'm hoping they can be more adventurous with their selections.

Just checked, and seems like their other stuff is available from various sellers on AliExpress! So that would probably be the best place to grab these for international fans. Can’t wait to see the final, retail versions.
Curious also to find out when these will actually be available, considering the release date for the 7 inch stuff has already passed…

Huh, kinda don't see the point of the larger ones if they're all in A stance and can only articulate in the arms. They *look* OK but also kinda boring. I guess the price reflects that though, 49 Yuan (roughly $7 or £5) seems really cheap for them. Might pick up the Arcee, Cliffjumper and Jazz minis seeing as I don't like the blokees versions or there isn't one in the case of Arcee. I don't want to get into another non-transforming line of products though
lord ginrai
Those minis look soooo good!
Really want Arcee, and probably Starscream. Sucks that they’re blind-boxed though.
