ABC news reports about how 4 year old Stevie Long, wearing a Power Rangers costume and sporting a plastic sword, fought off 2 armed adults who were trying to rob his otherwise defenseless family.

Nearly finished toys for several Transformers movie characters have made it onto eBay. For the first time we can see what they look like with painted decoration… and in robot mode!

Once again, we are going to mirror these images since eBay auctions don’t last forever. Click to continue reading!

Now that I have all the minotaurs from the 7th Kingdom series from the Four Horsemen, I took the opportunity to put together a photo gallery. Its far from professional, but it gives you a good look at the figures, their posability, and their accessories. I tried to have a little fun with it and give each minotaur a little personality by differing up their poses and weapons. The accessories give credit to a wide range of options with some mixing and matching of the halberd, spear and flag.

The all knowing Nevermore at TFW2005 has found some images of toy prototypes for the 2007 Transformers movie. None of these display robot modes, just vehicles. The paint applications are also obviously not there yet, but any news is news while the film goes into editing and the real wait for a new trailer (and the movie itself) begins.

Keep tuned to for more Transformers 2007 news as it develops…

Fresh off the shelf, here is a quick impression of Mirage from Transformers: Classics!

TFW2005 points us to here, where there are new clear images of Revoltech Prime. I have attached them below so you can see for yourself. I believe that Prime will be number 19 in the Revoltech series.

Also an image surfaced here, showing an exclusive repaint of this figure as Ultra Magnus.

Its pretty much a guarantee that I’ll be hunting these two figures down.

  

After watching, be sure to read beyond the jump for the lengthy show notes!
