I wonder if they can come up with anything that's both new and isn't dumb for whatever the intended markets are.
I'm not sure I can see a need for another generic mic brand.

I think the clue is that it's team B.L.U.E. v3.0. and they "... want to be a part of putting the joy back into recording.”
How would you like a USB noise canceling microphone with a built in 128GB recorder, an onboard vintage preamp modeler, and a bluetooth headphone option so you can sing into a NEAT mic while riding the bus in to work, or where ever inspiration comes to you, and then load it into your DAW later when you get home?
If a mic was that cool it wouldn't be as generic as all the other generic microphones.
While I wait for the preorder window to open I'll be wondering if the square body is some sort of interference filter tuned to the optimum frequency for counteracting the effect of recording vocals in a 11'x11' bedroom.

As I said, it depends on the intended market. But you forgot about the built in Pro Channel and Autotune.

I should have remembered those two features. I'll need those to polish the flow in real time so I can make good use of the built in web cam.

They better sound good since they are so ugly. I mean, the shock mount is fornicating hideous, but maybe you can replace the rubber bands.
It will be interesting.

I was impressed by hearing KRK's but knew I couldn't live with the color! LOL It would be counter-productive to put a bag over these mics, but....... I suppose if they were great and a bargain, I could paint them! Yuck!

On the other hand, they will go fine with a wasp synth.

I think the transformers are pretty exciting.
I think we need more choices for affordable mics with transformers.

As I said above Mike, it will be interesting. Let's see how much affordable costs, and how they sound. If those pan out, they can paint the mics like a mandrill nose and I wouldn't care. I hope to get one of them pups (or pupae?) to check out. So I guess I ought to shut up about the color scheme other than to say I love it!

@Jeff M. Yeah, that one is rather LOUD.
Hmmm... Maybe if I spray paint yellow stripes on my dynamic mics they would sound better? At least no one would steal them :D
