Instagram user sw_up_wir20 is giving us our first look at the newest addition to Hallmark’s Itty Bittys line…. Transformers.
The official website is also updated with cute tiny plushies of:
- Optimus Prime
- Bumblebee
- Megatron
- Soundwave
Each item is priced at $6.95.
We’ve mirrored the images with this news post. Check ’em out, after the jump.

I'm a sucker for Super Deformed and Chibi figures, so when I saw these featured on the front page I knew I had to check them out. Suffice to say, mini Soundwave is adorably awesome! If you're a fan of plush toys or stuffed animals these guys hit all the right spots.

The Hallmark store I went to also had these sweet Rogue One Itty Bittys. I really had to fight the urge to pick up Poe Dameron and Admiral Ackbar.

If they didn't mind expanding the net a bit then I'd say put in some broaders stuff like : Lockdown, Knockout, Optimus Primal & Beast Megatron also Movie 2007 Optimus and Megatron (as it's an anniversary year).
If I was to speak personally though rather than on what I think would sell – then I'd say Rhinox, Rattrap & Silverbolt. and i'd consider some others like : Hot Rod, Prowl, Kup, Mirage, Slag (Slug), Wreck Gar, Ultra Magnus & Powerglide. I also think Optimal Optimus might look cute done like this too.
But we'd be travelling far down an obscure path then. But I do in all seriousness think Starscream is worth doing too.

Oh YES.
someone needs to email this list to Hallmark Pronto.
Starscream 91
The body at least look like Soundwave, but the official images give him these weird black dots on his eyes that make him not look like Soundwave in the face.

How did you recognize it as Soundwave if it doesn't look like Soubdwave?
Max Tower
How about Jazz and Shockwave too.

Hasbro is getting closer to the mark, but they could use some lessons in 'kawaii' from Takara. Th'heck is up with those creeper eyes?
Also, since when are Decepticons cuter than Autobots?

Passed the images along to my friends and I can certify that they passed the "Teen girl 'Awww!'" Test from every single one of us.
LegoLover58
Agreed.
Also Arcee and Grimlock while Hallmark's at it.

Meh. Trying too hard to be Japanese style \"kawaii\" and not getting there. Why is there a faceplate on Soundwave, but not on Optimus?
Maybe if these were 3 dollars…

Soundwave is also Cross-eyed, good thing he has his face shield!
EarthGBilly
If I buy any, it'll be Optimus. And a Soundwave… to dismember so I can put a faceplate on Optimus.
robh
they passed the daughter test, so maybe ?:|

Ohhhh! Look!
Stupid disfigured things with fat heads………………………….
Whoever started the entire trend of this bullshit should be shot.

I'm not sure how I feel about these. They're cute but quite-not-there-cute.

I like that Megatron. I'm a sucker for soft toys.

They're okay. Every attempt at TF blind boxes/vinyls/side merch has been a bust for me. Like someone at Hasbro understands they need to get Transformers into these markets, but then has no idea what actually makes a product cute/desirable, so everything winds up off.
