Super 7 have recently acquired the Transformers license and are showing off some of their upcoming products at Toy Fair 2018. On show are:
- Super Buckets will be great for Halloween – they are big versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron’s heads, perfect for eating candy out of.
- 12 inch Super Cyborgs – billed as a new interpretation of collector figures, with visible insides to highlight the internal mechanisms of the characters. Optimus Prime and Megatron versions are on show.
- Super deformed keychains – keychain versions of a whole host of classic Generation 1 characters with large heads.
- 1.75 inch blind box figures – more traditionally proportioned versions of classic Transformers characters standing just under 2 inches tall. These remind us of the old Decoy figures from the 80s.
- Enamel pins and drinking glasses, the latter featuring Generation 1 box artwork, are also on show.

Whatever happened to this line? I've been waiting for the big Megatron fig forever now.

My wife squee'd at the Grimlock keychain.

I have some of the Masters of the Universe ones. They are all one color. They are supposed to be more like the old 80s M.U S.C L.E. figurines. They have Aliens, Pee Wee's Playhouse, She-Ra, and Street Fighter as well. They had the MOTU ones available in 3 packs and trash cans, but it looks like they are switching all of these to blind buys, so I will pass. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a trash can non-blind down the road, though.

I have the James Bond pint glasses that were big in the 90s, and some that were made by that company toontumblers.com. They only survive the dishwasher if you place them carefully. If your girlfriend, mom or roommates just fires them in there they will chip. In addition, they are prone to accidents like droppage and and having other dishes collide with them. Even the act of toasting can crack them. Im just saying the chance of Murphys Law occuring is higher with something that is a collectors item. Once my drunken ex spilled a glass of wine all over my neighbors Marvel Super Heroes Monopoly board. In the case of toontumblers, their pint and shot glasses actually just have a lame sticker attached to them so they cant ever be used or washed.. I have a lot of collectors items already so I dont really have room for candy buckets or glassware anymore.. Just seems sad that Super 7 cant make Muscle and reaction figs for this, since they just did it with Robotech.

i have the He-Man and Skeletor glasses and use them daily, dishwasher them constantly. no chipping or wear. Postage is only thing holding me back from ordering more! but these TRANS glasses will be mine regardless! and their other stuff too!

I cant tell if Megatron looks more like Ponch from CHIPs or Keanu from Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure. Either way he looks like a human surfer dude with a mullet rather than a robot wearing a helmet. I was just in the grocery store, theres already a line of blind bag super deformed Transformers, like we needed more. The glasses, something you cant use without them chipping around the rim because theyre 'for display'. The photos on them have been done to death, pass! I could spend zero dollars and eat candy from a regular bowl, or not from a bowl at all, like a normal human. I am too old so when I go trick or treating, people phone the police, so I couldnt use these and they take up a lot of space. This whole line is very lame! I would rather see MUSCLE figures and their Kenner scale of figures with characters like Spike and Carly. GEEZ!

Regarding the 12" figures: Optimus' and Megatron's heads and fists are too big. Those are human proportions that they didn't have.

I was just in their retail store recently in San Diego and the ones they currently carry are glass Pint Glasses.

Oooh, I WANT those G1 Box Art drinking glasses! I wonder if they're plastic?
godaiking
Loving the Sunbow/Toei 80s aesthetic on these. Definitely getting them.
DesertDog
Fucking blind boxes need to die.
Sign me up for those G1 Glasses though.

Wonder if the new decoys will be all in one color, like the originals, or if they'll be painted. Unfortunately, blindbox stuff likely means Ebay for me-I'll only want certain characters. Kind of like those pint glasses, too.

Awwww the keshi surprise grimlock looks like he wants a hug

I could see those 12in guys standing somewhere in my house.
