First images of the UNLEASHED 2" four-packs!

Edit: Links from GH.com gone.....

These are rather cool! I didn't focus on the 7" UNLEASHED toys (proudly own and display Padmé, Obi Wan and the AOTC Clone Trooper though) but now I will start with the change of scale.

I used to love Micro Machines and Action Fleet figurines, but Hasbro sucessfully killed off those lines after buying Galoob and firing the experienced staff. Only other line I could collect now, were the SW Miniatures. Though, that "you can't see what you'll get" set-up and those VR and Super Ultra Rares characters kind of put me off.

These seem very detailed, even articulated. I hope they will add more main characters to the mix soon. This line has a great potential of expansion!

Also, $9.99 is a pretty good price for so much quality and details!

Funny however that they want to run a Titanium Micro Figures line as well- basically Die-Cast versions of the Star Wars Miniatures. These should be plastic- Hasbro didn't learn from the faliure of the Micro Collection line from 1982. Kids didn't like the metal figures. They want figures they can play with, not watch that the color chips off when dropping them once.
On the other hand, I really LIKE THE IDEA behind these sets!
They could release themed sets for the whole Saga by repacking these figures! I really minded that you didn't know which figures you would get and that the most important/ coolest were rare to super rare.
These would be very cool, IF THEY WERE MADE OF PLASTIC.

It's also interesting that Hasbro thought of reusing the Micro Collection molds!

By Galactichunter.com:
"A number of concepts were shown, none of which were finalized. These include "Micro Collection" stlye figures and playsets, vehicle-based dioramas, and more metal everything. We love the orignal Micro Collection and would jump at new versions... but reruns do not interest us in the slightest. An on-site survey may determine the future of this seemingly successful collectible range."

Damn! I thought I wouldn't collect these...

Damn hasbro for making them army builders...

Guess I'm going to be kukoo for cocoa puffs....er Unleashed battlepacks.

Dang, just when I thought I was going to be SAVING money too...

Initially, I'll say thanks Hasbro. While I don't like the ideaof the regular Unleashed line being put on "hiatus", this line looks to be an acceptable alternative. (So long as it's not permanent please)

I was thinking the same thing. Let's just hope that the paint detail carries over from these protos.

You know when I heard that hasbro was going to change the unleashed line to 2" figures, I was like what the hell? Now after seeing what they will be, all I can do is shake my head. These are terrible imo. I mean they're little painted unposeable figures. And 4 of them for 10 bucks?! I dunno, maybe it's just me, but the regular unleashed line was far superior that there really isn't any comparison.

[Kidhuman]

Well, we had 7" figures that were unpaoseable for 15 bucks, so 4 for ten isnt bad.
