I had talked before in a comic about how Miko's little figurine is unattainable in the United States.  It was a true story!  But through the help of eBay, I was able to buy a loose set of the three kid figurines from Malaysia.  All said, it wasn't that expensive, considering what I paid for them was what the big DVD Entertainment Pack set they're a part of would have cost here, plus shipping.  And now I don't have to sell any extra unneeded Megatron or Optimus Prime.

I have the New York Comic-Con versions of Raf and Jack already, with their white NY-stamped shirts, but these are painted in their "real" shirt colors.  As before, they have neck articulation and they can be separated from their stands.  Miko's entirely new to me, though, as just stated!  She too can be separated from her stand, but her neck does not turn.  It's probably 'cuz of her ponytail, which would have blocked movement anyway.

Miko's on my shortlist of favorite Transformers: Prime characters, and it felt incomplete to own Bulkhead without his little partner.  Sadly, you can't fit Miko into the gaps in Bulkhead's chest, but not all things in life are perfect.

So we've waxed about NYCC Bumblebee and Arcee, but the figurines of Jack Darby and Raf Esquivel who come with them are enticing to me as well.  I like toys of humans, okay?  I will forever desire toys of Robot-Master, Bomber Bill, and the Mechanic.  I've bought lots of live-action-style Transformers (again) because they were repackaged with human characters!  I imported Kicker.  And I am actually a little angry we never got toys of Sari Sumdac or the Angry Archer.

I like the characters in Transformers stories.  And many of those characters are humans.  It makes sense to me.

Like Arcee and Bumblebee, Jack and Raf here are going to be released later to retail, though of course not in this NY-specific deco.  Jack has a New York t-shirt, which is cool, but Raf seems to have a white New York ... sweater vest.   That sounds especially not real.   I would love to be proved wrong, though.  And then lose however many dollars it takes to get one.  I will totally cosplay at BotCon next year as New York sweater vest Raf.

These figurines aren't to scale with anything.  Which is just as well, because they're not going to succeed at it.  Arcee and Bumblebee aren't in scale with each other, so any attempt to make Jack or Raf in scale with either of them is going to cause failure somewhere else.  So I'm glad they're small-but-not-too-small, and also that they exist.

Really, though, what I want is Miko.  She's awesome.

The toys come in a pretty nice packaging display that you can remove the plastic bubble from without too much trouble.  That leaves you with a city street with a guardrail in front of a row of beveled skyscrapers.  It's pretty great, and I put a T-Rex in it.
