KIDS:




In a rare occurrence, we have in this set, official figurines of the humans in a Transformers TV Series.  For the most part, they are really well formed and sculpted.


Personally, I just have problems with some of their aesthetics, as they look a whole lot more thinner in real person.  I think Jack's the worse of the trio, with his extremely long legs, and unpainted face.


Raf doesn't fare that much better, being the shortest (and hence the smallest) of the lot.  However, I am surprised at how detailed all of them are, and they are extremely accurate to the show.  Again, his face lacks any paint and it shows.


In my opinion, Miko is the best figurine of the lot, at the very least, her face is painted.  However, none of them are poseable, they just stand there (and they come with stands).  It should be noted that if you try to display them without their stands, they are prone to falling over.

OVERALL:

The set comes with a DVD with the episode "Master and Students" (apparently, its the series premiere episode...), nothing of note there, especially with the Season 1 DVD coming out soon, it renders it a bit obsolete.


I think the set is good overall, you get two great Deluxe figures, each with impressive engineering, and extremely show accurate, and some bonus figurines in the process, that are not lazy efforts.  I highly recommend if you like the look of this set.
