Over the last week a shocking number of images of the next class of Transformers figures, “Reveal The Shield” have been appearing on various Japanese retailer order pages and fan sites.

There’s almost too much to talk about here, and so much has been stated on our forums! If you haven’t seen these yet, go ahead and take a look. All of these figures will be appearing in the US next year, though some of what you see may look slightly different since these photos are from Japanese retailers and their product colors sometimes vary.

Pegg and Frost have quite a reputation after the show Spaced, movies Shaun Of The Dead, and Hot Fuzz for pleasing geek audiences with great action, dialog and satire of genre tropes. Paul will feature the pair with a small alien voiced by Seth Rogen. Also in the cast are Jason Bateman, Sigourney Weaver and Kristen Wiig.
The movie comes out in February 2011, directed by Greg Mottola.

Its that time of the month again! Well, ok, not that time of the month. Today is MattyCollector day for the month of October. There are not many items up for sale today at Noon EST. The monthly Club Eternia figure will be Roboto, who we’ve mentioned might have some minor shoulder issues. The reissue this month will be Zodac. You can check out pictures after the jump and remember when ordering to use this page to make things easier for yourself.

Side note on the Zodac images. It appears that they just recycled the ones from the original listing because the packaging doesn’t show the starburst that all reissues have.
