STANDBY FOR UPDATES

apologies to one and all for the inconsistency of this blog's updates. will endeavour to migrate most (if not ALL) Transformers Movie-related posts from my primary weblog @ http://toysrevil.blogspot.com.

once that is completed (becoz there is a finite end to the last movie-post), then i will begin Phase.02 - whereby i will migrate all existing Transformers Animated posts over to this blog as well. so stay tuned :)

cheers for your patience.

is this the final transformers movie toys update post?

with the launch of Hasbro's dedicated Transformers-movie toys website [via], there really isn't much left to be "discovered", is there?

granted, it doesn't have the hi-res image-goodness of individual collector's personal toy-pics, but i reckon the kick of the image-hunt has all but been extinguished, innit? at the very least for me ... and what else have we got to look forward to?

meanwhile as i ponder the fates of future Transformer-toy updates, peep a video-review of Optimus Prime and various other trans-toy-titbits here:

i've gotta ask: why is the Legend Series RATCHET in green instead of yellow? do younger kids have a lesser tolerance for recognizing the color-spectrum? ... i don't understand ...

and amidst all the "big-boys-toys" (let's tell the truth for once, the higher-end priced toys are to cater to the kidults and not the toddlers, yeh?) there are the expected "pure-kiddy" products, including "dumbed-down"-Transformers (in terms of "details", yeh?) - ie: the cutesy "super-deformed" Robot Heroes, yeh? - which frankly would make more interesting chess-peiecs, as opposed to these, innit? IMHO, 'natch :p


... but what's this about a die-cast Optimus Prime?

[via] reportedly apparently the figure has die-cast parts and is produced
by Takara ... will find out more on this ... perhaps ... :p

also, find out where Optimus Prime's driver disappears to,
by downloading/viewing the WMV here
[via]

and besides buying the actual product for yourself, what's the
next best thing to seeing toy-images online? watch videos of
toy-reviews, that is! [via/via]
*heh*

transforming-nike convoy and megatron in-packaging images

"new" Transforming Nike Convoy and Megatron [blogged] in-packaging images [via] with a scale comparison to an actual 1/1-Nike from which it's modelled after = *cool*

diggin' the miniature shoe-box tho LOL ... go peep some detailed shots of Transforming shoes on Seibertron :)

me, i'm wondering if they'll ever release the other feet of the shoes (ie: right/left feet), for a matching pair, innit? mayhap an anniversary edition ... *heh*

added:

transformers toys 2007: voyager prime and swindle

Voyager-class Optimus Prime takes center-stage with these high-res images from TFormers.com [via] which shows Primes' exhaust as hand-blasters *schweet*

while online auctions [via] reveal dismally small images of Bumblebee,
Bonecrusher and Swindle in-package:

(shown above is the in-package image, together with screengrabs from the online Transformers Game of the "Red Drone") - i've not read about "Swindle" being a part of the movie tho ... altho in Alternator Transformers, Swindle is a yellow Jeep instead ... :p

anyways, can't wait for trusty Transfans to win the auction and post multiple hi-res images of the toys/vehicles online, yeh? *muahahaha*
