It seems that General Motors and Hasbro, Inc.'s licensing agreement has extended beyond the initial wave of announced toys to a new mold of Swerve, a red 2007 Chevrolet Aveo. According to a posting over at ACToys, buying a Chevrolet vehicle will net you this exclusive mold, which will be limited to 2,000 pieces. This looks to be a China-only promotion, where the actual vehicle is sold as the Chevrolet Lova. To see the images of this figure from ACToys, TaoBao, and eBay, head into our full gallery.

Do you suppose there's anyone out there who would actually let this item determine if their next auto was a chevy or not?
Thank god it's an uninteresting mold, I'm sure these things will be all over ebay.

So they're gonna make only 2000 of these things for Chinese consumers who buy this particular car.
I call bullshit, this mold will appear later. Either that or Chevrolet is shelling out a lot of dough for this 'exclusive' mold.

I agree. And I also kinda like the toy. The head mold is better than that damned camera lense head.

I actually think this is a great looking figure! I highly doubt Hasbro will ignore the U.S. market with this new mold though...not while there's money to made on their hottest property.

Here's a better look at it on an eBay auction. Already up to $122.50 as of 2pm PDT 8/27.
Simply amazing...

Forgot to add, the auction barely started (6 days and change left) and the reserve is not yet met.

This will end up in the Universe line over in the states too. I hate the cyclops camera lens heads too. Until they change those, I won't buy those figures either.

I was just saying today, hmmm no one has yet done an update to Windcharger.... well punch me in the nutz. I actually kinda like it too. It has a movie look with more G1 features with head, arms, and legs having more cartoon look than realistic robotic crap.
