Erik Larsen’s She-Dragon will be coming out in statue form in June 2006. The statue is 15 inches tall, handpainted and limited to 1800 pieces.

For more pictures and commentary by the sculptor, go here.

Apparently included in the packaging of THS-02 Prime was a promo card for what appears to be the next figure in the Masterpiece line.
The card is covered with design sketches of Starscream that are crossed out haphazardly with a black marker. The english text reads: ‘Coming soon…’. One can only hope we get more information on this soon.

According to action-hq.com the name of the black repaint of the Alternator Optimus Prime figure will be the ever original, ‘Nemesis Prime’.

Their preorder lists the figure as ‘Transformers Alternators Dodge Ram Pick-up Tranemesis Prime (Black Version)’. Available in May ’06.

Don’t forget that Wednesday the 15th is the deadline for having an active membership in the Transformers Collectors Club so that you will get this year’s Landquake sent to you for free!

=======================================

This is the tagline on a teaser pic posted at the website for IDW publishing. The picture is a shot of cybertron mostly in the dark but a strange red glow emanating from the back side of the planet. The word storm is in italics. Whether this means we’ll be seeing another unicron storyline based on the picture or a return to a Sunstorm story is anyone’s guess. We can only wait and see.

tfw2005.com has posted a listing of the initial assortments for the Transformers Titanium line according to the pre-order webpage for an Australian store.

Gentle Giant is expanding their successful line of maquettes beyond the Clone Wars animated series. According to this announcement, with the addition of another Clone Wars character, classic characters from the original trilogy will also be added. The new maquettes will include Leia with Artoo, Darth Vader and Boba Fett. Each of these statues will be made in the same style as the Clone Wars animation. Between Padme and Leia, there looks to be plenty of fan service for the fans of the animated series.

Toy Fair 2006 came and went pretty fast with a deluge of new initiatives by most of the toy companies. In all the press, it was easy to miss several of the more prominent announcements, nevermind the smaller ones. One of the larger initiatives shown came from Toy Biz on their plans with the future of the Marvel Legends Line. Things are looking up if you follow this fan-favorite line.

The next 4 waves of the main line were tentatively announced, each with its own build-a-figure in the tradition of Galactus, The Sentinel and Apocalypse. Each figure in the wave will come with one piece of the larger figure included. When you have all the figures in the wave (not including chase variants) you will have all the pieces necessary to assemble the larger figure.
