under Generations / Classics, Robots in Disguise, Transformers Toy Gallery Updates

Today we are going to take a look at a figure I’ve had for a bit but who’s gallery got pushed back due to SDCC and related events. At this year’s Tokyo Toy Show a repaint of Titans Return Laser Prime was released in Car Robots / RID2001 Black Convoy colors. This is fitting because the original Black Convoy in Car Robots was a repaint of the original G2 Laser Prime. As many of you may know, Car Robots / OG Robots in Disguise is my jam, so I had to get him.

Overall it’s a really well executed repaint – the colors and tampos work well. His size and stance work much better with the recently released Unite Warriors Baldigus (RID2001 Ruination) box set than the previous Generations Laser Prime mold does. If you are a fan of the original Robots in Disguise series, Laser Prime, Black Primes or SCOURGE – he is definitely worth a pick up. If you are a fan of Nemesis Primes – then hit the bricks, you don’t deserve this. 🙂

You can check the full gallery here: TFW2005’s Tokyo Toy Show 2017 Black Convoy Gallery.

We’re back with another new Transformers gallery, and this time we’ve enacted Phase 6 on Garrus 9. Get ready, because the most vicious and sadistic Decepticon of them all, Overlord, is here!

The latest and greatest Titans Return Leader class release, Overlord is a remold of Titans Return Sky Shadow, essentially replacing the entire upper body / jet from Sky Shadow. This rendition of Overlord includes the Duocon gimmick from the original, with both vehicle modes being faithfully recreated, and even a version of the original Powermaster gimmick recreated for this release. Poseability is good, with ankle tilts a welcome addition, as are the twin hinges that allow a good range of movement in the shoulders, although it has to be said that one of these hinges is not strong enough to support the weight of the shield Overlord wields.

Overall, Overlord is a very welcome addition to the Titans Return lineup, and a character who we’ve been looking forward to for a while. Check out the gallery to admire him for yourself.

2005 Boards user G1 Evac brings us great news for fans in China since the Titans Return Siege On Cybertron Pack Was Officially Released By Hasbro China. 

To make this even better, this incredible pack (which includes Magnus Prime, Tidal Wave, Metalhawk, Pounce and a Titan Master Thunderwing)  is not exclusive to any retailers in China, so it can be bought from Taobao shops online who sell official Hasbro toys. It is priced 620 Yuan (93 Dollars) including shipping, which is a very nice price. The set has no noticeable differences but and extra set of instructions in Chinese.

Happy hunting for all China fans. You can check the pictures after the jump, and sound off what you think at the 2005 Boards!

We’ve got word that those who preordered the Titans Return Siege on Cybertron set with our sponsors Big Bad Toy Store are seeing their order status update to “processing”. What this means is that this set, which is a BBTS exclusive in the USA, is about to be released and fans will soon have this set in their hands to enjoy. The second of what is so far two sets of exclusive five figure sets for Titans Return, the Siege on Cybertron set gives us a US release of the Japanese Ginrai version of Powermaster Optimus Prime. With him are Decepticon clone Pounce, Autobot Metalhawk, Decepticon Tidal Wave, and Decepticon Titan Master Thunderwing. While it is an eclectic mix of characters, each one looks awesome and are welcome additions to any Classics collection.

Australia is on a role for sightings, and today we have an exciting release to share. According to Griffin-of-oz from the 2005 boards and Justowen from the Ozformers Facebook group, Titans Return Slugslinger with Caliburst has been found at a Myer store in Australia. Slugslinger is the sole new figure in the sixth wave of deluxe figures in the Titans Return line. Hopefully, a US release won’t be far behind.

Thanks to Twitter users @Gadepon, @Jun_in_FSS, and @ripetakobozu we have some out-of-the-box pictures of Takara Legends LG-43 Dinosaurer (Trypticon).

The pictures show Dinosaurer (Trypticon) toy standing over his own box. So far it seems very similar to the Hasbro version of the toy.
