Allspark member Monocle has posted an ad for the Hasbro/Discovery Hub network that he found in Brandweek…And Transformers fans will be giddy to see who makes an appearance! Making his debut to the world, a new character model for Bumblebee (one would assume he’s from the next new Transformers TV series that will be broadcast on Hub). This Bumblebee looks familiar for those fans of the Transformers movies, but has been tweaked to look younger and, well, cuter.
Looks like some My Little Pony fans will happy as well with this ad.
I totally missed all of the announcements for JoeConCobraCon 2010, in addition to the Collectors’ Club updates. After a little reconnaissance, I’m happy to report back with my findings!
PowetToys Collectors Edition is a new spin-off series to the PowetToys reviews. I wanted an educational video series on the industry and collecting as a whole. This is my attempt in this endeavor. Let me know what you think in the comments!
Today marks the kick off of New York Toy Fair 2010 and I am just as eager as everyone else to talk about what is being revealed at the show.
Press releases and sneak peak photos were all over the web starting last night. All the info is after the break.
This post will be kept at the top of the page today since I will be adding updates and news as I find it throughout the day.
Forget the iPad and the State of the Union, the rumor mill has been busy hyping up a supposed release of an in-scale (to the action figures) AT-AT. According to a report on RebelScum.com, the massive toy was spotted at the UK Toy Fair (a strictly no photo event).
Rebelscum reader Boba Fatt sends in a report on the highly-anticipated BAT-AT: “Damn, it’s HUGE!”
According to this eyewitness account, it looks like a Turbo Tank on legs, with an interior similar to the inside of the Turbo Tank, but with 2 levels, opening doors, a gun rack, and an underside hatch for Luke to slice into. There are 2 strings that come out of a side panel like on a rescue helicopter. The neck seal is rubber, and the head holds 6 figures inside, including General Veers. Plus, the rear opens for a Blizzard Force speeder bike. Still no photos yet, but this matches all previous reports.
The photo at the top of this post is a supposed photo of the walker, but there is no way to get a feel for the scale. This report puts things in perspective. The Turbo Tank mentioned is the one in the picture below.
Skeptic rebels continue to smugly call them “Great, big, fat gray targets.”
Hot on the heels of the Bumblebee figure’s reveal, UGO got some exclusive pictures of the upcoming Megatron and Optimus Prime releases based on the War for Cybertron video game coming to consoles soon. There wasn’t anything to really go on from the article aside from the pictures.
I have to say I really dislike Megatron’s alt mode. Megatron’s robot mode is slightly mistransformed and missing the cannon from the alt mode. Prime looks pretty good though.
The Transformers fan club has put up an exclusive image of the new War for Cybertron Bumblebee figure based on the forthcoming video game we mentioned back here, here and here.
This was the cover image to the latest club magazine and was posted on the club website.
We’ve been discussing this very topic on our forums here. Join the discussion or comment below on what you think of this likely filler sub-line until the new show/movie starts up.
