We had only seen the smaller Transformers Authentics “Bravo” 5-Inch Figures at US Retail back in February. The big carded Transformers Authentics “Alpha” had been spotted only at Phillippines and Peru. These figures finally made their way into US retail. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Grimlock were spotted at Family Dollar in NW Houston, Texas. Cost was $10.00 per figure.

Thanks to Ukrainian online trading platform Prom.ua, we have discovered a brand new item for the upcoming Transformers: Bumblebee toyline by Hasbro.

Titled as Masked Heroes, each mask is priced at 449 грн, which roughly converts to US$ 17.20.

  • Product Name: Hasbro Transformers 6: Masked Heroes
  • Hasbro Item Code: E0697
  • Product Description: Masks of your favorite characters from the new Transformers: Bumblebee movie.
  • Price: 449 грн

The price of the product is indeed a bit steep, considering the fact that Transformers: The Last Knight masks were sold in Ukraine, for just a little over half of this pricepoint.

We currently do not have any images.

Good news for UK collectors. Thanks to a report of 2005 Boards member Warpnut, we can inform that Power Of The Primes Wave 2 Leader Rodimus Unicronus And Studio Series Wave 2 Deluxe Have Been Found In The UK.

Rodimus Unicronus has been spotted in 2 stores: Toy Plant Derby shared an image announcing Rodimus Unicronus is in stock, then it was spotted at Forbidden Planet in London. Here it was sold for £54.99 ($74 approximately). One important thing to notice is that this seems to be the proper European packaging and stock.

But there’s more. On the same Forbidden Planetin London, UK Movie collectors will also find Studio Series Wave 2, consisting of Jazz and Lockdown. Each figure is sold for £22.99 ($31 approximately).

Happy hunting for all fellow UK collectors. Keep reporting your sightings all over the world on the 2005 Boards!

Licensing Expo 2018 is just around the corner and Hasbro is ready to showcase their upcoming lineups.

Speaking to License Global, this toy giant has given a lengthy description of their future plans for the Transformers Franchise.

“We decided on Bumblebee because we wanted to go in a bit of a different direction. We wanted a character-focused film versus an ensemble. He is loved by kids, multiple generations, girls and women. Everyone loves Bumblebee,” continues Warner.

Hasbro is capitalizing on the film’s surroundings with a slate of ‘80s-themed launches including a TV series, a vinyl album and a graphic novel, which the company hopes will “lead a wave of Millennial nostalgia.”

[…]

Hasbro is off to a running start with two new television programs, “Transformers Cyberverse (Chapter 1)” and “Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy.” The first is an animated series from Hasbro Studios and Boulder Media that follows Bumblebee as he attempts to recover his memories on Earth. “Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy” picks up on the “Transformers: Combiner Wars” story line and offers a more detailed look at the franchise’s characters and history.

Though the shows are not set in the 1980s, “Cyberverse” emphasizes the idea of keeping memories alive, while “Prime Wars,” which debuted on Verizon’s streaming service VerizonGo90, was conceived as a way to reach older, devoted fans who have grown up with the franchise.

[…]

Hasbro’s 360-degree approach to the new film is one that reflects the company’s continuous evolution from a toy company to a global entertainment and play business.

“Our first piece is to step outside of the traditional heartland business and think about opportunities way beyond the toy aisle,” says Waters. “Our blueprint is a dramatic expansion and that includes stories, new movies, consumer products—it’s about navigating the consumer product landscape as a whole and, as all entertainment companies face dynamic challenges, it means not relying entirely on one sector.”

“The Falling,” Part 4. Onyx Prime’s motivations are clear, and his scheme seems unstoppable. Heroes have fallen, and hope dwindles for the survivors. Cybertron’s last chance of salvation is in the hands of… well, that would be telling, wouldn’t it?
