Human Alliance Skids & Arcee with Mikaela action figures in Singapore!

HA Skids & Arcee w/Mikaela action figures.

Human Alliance (HA) Skids & Arcee with Mikaela action figures (SGD 69.90)

Yes, the above Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) toys have arrived at our local departmental stores this week!  For once I was thinking “why so fast?”.  It wasn’t that long ago that HA Sideswipe came out in the stores here.  Anyway, I presume that this latest HA set will be popular with ROTF fans and collectors here mainly because of Mikaela.  Now she and Sam can both ride in Bumblebee, or make out on his hood, LOL!

I’ve seen a couple of video reviews of this set and so far, HA Skids seems quite impressive, while Arcee looks better in bike mode.  Let’s take a look at one of the few video reviews of HA Skids and co. available on YouTube now.  As HA Skids has just started to appear in stores here and worldwide, it will take a while more before we see more such video reviews.

Note: This reviewer usually does very good reviews but in this video, he sounds very tired.  So don’t let that distract you.  On the whole, HA Skids and co. are definitely on my ROTF want list!  Happy ROTF toy hunting!

    Hi RJ,

    Thanks for the alternative video review, it’s much shorter and to the point too! :D

    [...] despite the good news that ROTF Voyager Grindor and ROTF Human Alliance (HA) SKids and gang are out in our regular retail stores now, I still can’t get them yet.  In this case, [...]

    Skids looks cool in HA series. Should be getting that piece too :)

    Hi deSMOnd,

    I saw it on sale at some collector toy shops this week. They are out at CSC shops too :D

    I just bought HA Skids a couple of days ago from Simply Toys Suntec City… Love it!!! One of the best Human Alliance figures so far along with Bumblebee… The figure looks nothing like Megan Fox though..haha.. The robot mode looks very close to the CGI model.. Looks better than the deluxe imo. Some photos I posted at TFW2005 >>> http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/256223-human-alliance-skids-mikaela-arcee-10.html#post4041836

    Hi Md Imran,

    I saw your photos of HA Skids and gang, thanks! :)

    Mikaela is not bad for such a tiny figure, most importantly is that she was made! :P

    Now you’re tempting me to increase my TF ROTF toy collection!

  8. deSMOnd on August 25th, 2009

    It’s definitely much more movie accurate than deluxe class due to its size. More detailed parts can be made..

  9. Juliana Heng on August 26th, 2009

    Hi deSMOnd,

    Yeah, and there are more uniform shades of green throughout HA Skids, unlike the Deluxe version :)

    Hi andy,

    HA Skids w/Arcee & Mikaela are selling in departmental stores and many collector stores now. Quite easy to find, for now :)

    Is this HA Skids already available here in the Philippines?

  14. Juliana Heng on September 8th, 2009

    Hi knives,

    I think it’s out in the Philippines already. You’ve gotta ask Bany, who often leaves comments on my blog. He lives in the Philippines too :)

    You can check out the “Recent Comments” section on the extreme right column of my blog to see when he posts his comments :)

    Here’s the link to the forum thread on “Philippines Transformers Sightings”, though it’s not very active.

    Perhaps you can join in and contact its members to ask around for sightings. Hope these help :)

    When and where will the HA skids, arcee, and mikaela figures be sold in the United States?

  16. Juliana Heng on September 9th, 2009

    Hi M V,

    I have no idea about HA sightings in the US. You might want to read the following forums and get your info from there:

    Hi knives,

    Here’s Bany’s reply from the comments section of http://www.julianaheng.com/rotf-ez-takaratomy-legends-devastator-toy-video-review/ :

    “…I have not seen the HA Skids at stores the last time I checked around a week ago (I’m guessing they already came out at the TRU outlets, I haven’t made my rounds yet).

    However, I read at the Cybertron Philippines Website that the HA Skids will be available at the “Hall of Heroes” event to be held at Robinsons Manila from Sept. 19-20.

    Here’s a link to the list of toys that will be available at the event:

    …”

    You need to sign up to read this forum though. Hope this helps, good luck! :)
