I've been catching these figures at Target and Wal-Mart and they look interesting enough that I may pick up a few. These figures so far go for 9.99 or more depending where you find them at and at that price I have been hesitant to pick one up. Has anybody picked one up and can tell if they are quality figures? Here is a picture link of what they look like. www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SM6015324A |

Was wondering about those myself........I'm not doing too much shopping around for modern figures these days, but took a trip for old time's sake yesterday to look for some Transformers Generations stuff (which I found...yea, me!). Kinda interesting. Looks like the "classic" battle game figures we've been seeing so much of in this new generation. That spider-looking dude on the cardback looked cool, but it was the only one I didn't see...darn!

One turn off for me is that most of them have short stubby feet but I guess on a weak shopping trip I'll likely pick up one. I'm favoring Chemaster as my first pick up since he looks to work more with most 3 3/4 figures.

So I finally pulled the trigger on buying one of these and yes it was the Chesmaster figure. Overall this figure really goes well with Joe sized figures and I like the alien sculpt that it has, the negative I would say is the 9.99 price tag and that his hands are worthless on gripping anything including the large extra hands he comes with. If you like obscure Joe sized figures like me then I would give him a buy.

I found the next wave of figures at my local Target and had to pick up the Bruticon figure. I really like what I'm seeing in this new wave and will likely pick up a few it's just a shame they aren't priced at 7.99 and worst for me they are 10.99 at my local Target. The new wave consist of the following figures:
Magnox
Warnet
Froztok
Siverbaxx
Metanoid - Slightly different variant of the first
Bruicon - green variant
I still don't know if there is a blue variant, can anyone confirm is there is one?

I now have 2 different variants of Bruticon which one is black and grenn and the the other is a green and light green variant. I'm not sure if one is really a rare variant yet? I also found a Scrarachnoz figure which were on the first wave packs but never seen till now, by me at least.

Both Kmart and TRU are having 25 percent or more on all Redakai items. I'm not sure on how long both sales are gonna last?

Some of the second wave looks like a very strong contenders for a future purchase. I'm looking for one or two I might be able to use for a Marvel comics custom to try them out.

Almost picked one of these up today, but I think I'll chance it and wait to see if they go on clearance after the holidays. If I do get some for cheap I'll most likely continue to collect them.
I wonder if any toy manufacturers have tried that, giving you the first batch cheap just to get you hooked on the product???

It looks like all Redakai stuff is on sale at TRU for 50 percent off till Dec. 22nd. The TRU around my way had a bad selection in figures though.

Walmart has these figures for 3.90 each but I'm not sure if it's a sale or clearance?

Every Target I have hit now has these on clearance but the current cleanrance price is like 6.99. I did pick up a few of the Bruicon figures at that price but I will wait on the others to drop before I pounce. I would have loved to have seen more from this line but I guess with everything on clearance it's just another failure?

Heh...depending on where you go, these things can be cheap now...I have noticed most places have 'em on clearance. I've seen the figures as low as four bucks. I almost hate to admit it, but won thirty dollars on a rare trip to a vice den (aka casino). Promptly spent it on the four dollar clearance Redakai the next day! What can I say? I do kinda have this stigma against the various monster battle games these days and the general aesthetics they have, but for some odd reason, I kinda mildly dug these for a while. If they weren't 3 3/4 inch...I'd have easily never looked at 'em again.
Anywaaaay...not too shabby...if you can get 'em cheap (good luck, got 'em at a local chain). Articulation is pretty nice. Too bad the monsters themselves couldn't have had better design aesthetics. That "last" wave looks pretty sweet after I looked 'em up. I doubt most stores will see those, though. They make great extra bad guys for the new Thundercats!

Target now has these figures at 50 percent off and I bought a handful at 5.48 each. I figure that's a decent price for some of their choice figures like Warnet and Bruticon.

I actually broke down and got the last wave (?) with the hornet dude and such in it...probably the best figures! Sadly, I did not pay the super cheap clearance price for those. I had gotten mine for about 2-3 bucks apiece until the harder-to-find four. I'm assuming these are done, though...a shame...looks like they were getting better! I saw a mini figurine of some cobra guy...it'd have been a sweet 3 3/4 incher!

I'm not sure but I'm guessing you got Wave 3 and that hornet guy your talking about sounds like Warnet which might just be the best mold of this line. Yeah I would have loved for this line to have continued with that Cobra looking creature and the Lava looking one as well. I probably will pick up some of the cards when they get to like 75 percent off on clearance just to see what could have been. |

On clearance at Wally World around here for $3 each (even the big guys). They really are pretty cool looking aliens. Picked up 2 of the large figures and one each of the 4" aliens from the 1st wave, though still need to find Harrier & the Silver Metanoid. No sign yet of the 2nd wave aliens yet though. Found a bit of a checklist of the basic and deluxe figures that were released: redapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Redakai_4%22_Figures |
