It looks like Kidslogic is following up their 7 inch Mecha Nations 001 Optimus Prime with a line of 3.5 inch line of other Transformers characters. With no articulation. In a boxset. I thought the Mecha Nations series was going to continue based on the other characters in the Hong Kong commercials, even calling it a series.

But, given that the larger Prime was over $100 and deformed, I can see how it may have not been everyone’s cup of energon. And really, these mini-statues are too darn cute. Add that they have candy metallic paints and I’m down for a set. But what’s with the lack of Megatron?
