Fellow Seibertronian SGMLordMirage found the Walmart exclusive Funko Pop Optimus Prime ornament today. Yes, that means Walmarts are already putting up Christmas decorations in early Septeber.

SGMLordMirage wrote:Found this at a local Walmart today in Nixa, MO. Gotta love Walmart for already putting out Christmas stuff. This Hallmark Ornaments Funko Pop Optimus Prime measures around 3 1/2 inches tall. Even though it has some scratches or scuff marks it is still pretty detailed for the size.

New Super 7 toys have been found at Target by RMaster who posted images on Twitter. The two toys found were G2 Grimlock and toy deco Galvatron. However, the even bigger news here is that the back of the card revealed more toys coming in this line. We can see Cyclonus, Ultra Magnus, Wreck-Gar, Sharkticon, Quintesson and best of all Unicron. And this isn't modelled after the Transformers movie but is instead modelled after the original prototype of the G1 Unicron toy. You can see an image of that original toy below. So now that means that this never released design will actually get a release. Albeit a smaller non transforming one. Still, it will be a 6 inch ReAction figure, so it will be one of the bigger figures in this line.

It's the beginning of September which means Hasbro is now ready look forward to their 2023 product lines. Much of that is going to be revealed at the upcoming PulseCon with Hasbro Pulse on Instagram promising Transformers reveals day one on September 30. As part of their announcement they revealed that, after a year of speculation as to why Legacy toys in store computers since wave one have had "Ev" in their names, the 2023 line will officially be called Transformers Legacy: Evolution! How that translates to the actual toys is anyone's guess, but maybe we'll get a clue at the end of the month.

Meanwhile they've also added some other teasers including a "never-before-seen" partnership as well as what is most certainly going to be Shattered Glass Soundwave.

The Instagram posted is copied below:

Fanbots! Get ready to #RollOut with #Transformers on Day 1 of #HasbroPulseCon2022! Join the team on Sept. 30th, as they reveal SO MANY new and cool things! Fine, we'll give you a taste...how about Transformers Legacy: Evolution?! And a new partnership, including the reveal of a never-before-seen product and artwork! Not enough?

You probably see these at Walmart and Target. They are Mini Brands, so smaller versions of products from popular brands. The latest set of bling "balls" is about toys and has many Hasbro properties like My Little Pony, Play D'oh and Transformers. The specific Transformers Mini Brand toy is a miniaturised Cyberverse ultra class Bumblebee in package. These are great for doll houses and the scenes using action figures. Like a shot of Bumblebee purchasing himself at the store. The display you see below was at a Canadian Walmart.

Modian.com is carrying out a crowdfunding initiative for a series of Transformers themed blind boxes made by Beijing Model Hall and licensed by Hasbro. These are for the Chinse market and will be made available if the goal is met. As with many blind boxes, there are some chase figures, like that Beast Wars Megatron. The theme here is that these are baby versions of these iconic characters. They specifically call them "kindergarten style" though by western standards, these are closer to a Muppet babies version of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee who actually has a diaper. Even though these will be very limited in terms of the market, it is still fun to see the designs, so we wanted to share these images with you.

Greetings fellow Seibertronians!

Courtesy of Autobase Aichi and @MilitaryMicros on Instagram(the original source of the pictures), we have some early images of the as yet unreleased Micromachines G1 Optimus Prime Hauler Playset for you! The set contains a non-transforming Optimus Prime cab, as well as a trailer, which can detach from the cab and unfold to form the playset. The set also comes with a G1 Tracks Micromachine, which is naturally compatible with the playset's interactive features, including a rotating stand that conceals a Micromachine within. Looking forward to adding this to your Transformers/Micromachines collection, or thinking of taking a pass? Let us know in the comments!

Check out the images below!

Transformers Legacy Minerva Found at U.S. Retail

In yet another case of a figure being found at retail before ever being officially announced by Hasbro or Takara, Deluxe Class Legacy Minerva has been spotted in the wild. But what makes this sighting a bit strange is that it was found at a Walmart in Colorado, rather than at Walgreens, where it's been assumed she will be that chain's exclusive toy this year.

Check out the images below, courtesy of TFW2005 user Blaster Mister, as well as @HailKingCrimson on Twitter, where the in package image was originally posted.

EDIT: While this toy was found at Walmart is is most assuredly a mistake and will not be found at Walmarts across the country. The toy did NOT ring up at the cash and the customer needed assistance to buy the product under another code. So, most of you will have to wait until this toy is sold by Walgreens during the holiday shopping season. Here is what Blaster Mister wrote regarding the transaction:

"So what exactly happened was. I rung her up and it error and had to wait for a associate. He came over and scanned her again and typed the upc on the checkout but it didn't work. He then just looked up the upc in his device and he said it came up and it was just the Hasbro logo and was about to scan that for normal deluxe price."







Minerva is a character formerly exclusive to Japanese G1 continuity, and is noteworthy for being the first Transformers toy ever to be released as a female character. This marks not only her first transforming toy in 34 years, but her first ever toy to be released in Western markets. She's a redeco and new head retool of Legacy Deluxe Class Wave 2's Elita One (who as of this writing, hasn't been found at retail).

As can be seen from the images above, we have the first look at Minerva in her packaging, as well as the barcode on her box, and the assortment box she came in.

What do you make of these images? Is this an aberration that she's shown up at Walmart instead of the rumored Walgreens? Have things possibly changed, and she'll be coming to a different chain? Let us know what you think or speculate below!

Man, Flame Toys is giving us some deep cuts with their model kits. They have a Gilthor planned. For those not in the know, this was an evil clone which combined both Optimus Prime and Megatron. That always made for a cool design and now we have our chance to get an officially licensed one (if you take the time to build it). It doesn't end there, through Facebook posts from Flame Toys themselves and images taken at the Flame Toys booth at the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong show, we also have our first looks at the upcoming Shockwave, BW Megatron and Arcee models. Arcee is the big ticket here since this is the model kit whos preorder starts and it is the only kit where they gave us a full reveal.
