Third party company Dr. Wu have shared images of the color prototypes of their DW-E16 Sound Master (G1 Blaster) & DW-E16T Twinhorn (Twincast) via their Weibo account. Two new updates to the Dr Wu’s Extreme Warfare line of Micromaster scale figures (between 5 and 6 cm tall) which go really well with Titan Class figures. We have a look at the color prototype of DW-E16 Sound Master/Blaster in both modes as well as comparison shots next to DW-E02 Monitor Officer/Soundwave.

DW-E08 Star Fear is a tiny representation of G1 Starscream with just 5.5 cm tall in robot mode. Of course, we also have our first look at the rest of the classic G1 Seekers: DW-E12 Blue Thunder/Thundercracker and DW-E15 Dark Sky/Skywarp. » Continue Reading.
