under Generation 1, Transformers Masterpiece

Courtesy of Loopaza Mega Store we have our usual doses of Figure King Magazine scans. Issue #277 features some new images of the gray prototype of Masterpiece Skids plus some information and images of Transformers: Kingdom and Studio Series for the Japanese market

This month we only have and 4 pages of Transformers content:

  • Masterpiece Skids – We have new images of the gray prototype of this upcoming Masterpiece figure. We have new shots of the robot mode showing the front, back and Skids poseability. We can see a compact backpack. The design is not based on his cartoon appearance, but we are sure your optics will be pleased with this change. Additionally, we have a clear look a the alt mode from several angles. As we can see from the images, this a very realistic Honda Civic Turbo with opening hood and trunk with a detailed exterior. You can share your impressions on Masterpiece Skids own thread here.
  • Transformers Kingdom – Promotional images of the upcoming Wave 5 for the Japanese market in July 2021. Inferno and Ultra Magnus will be available at general retail and Core Class Megatron and Starscream will be Takara Tomy Mall exclusives.
  • Studio Series Releases For July 2021 – We have images of the upcoming Studio Series SS-66 Autobot Dino (Dark of the Moon) and SS-67 Starscream (Bumblebee movie) for the Japanese market. Keep in mind that Takara Tomy use a different numeration than Hasbro.

Hey, remember the good old days when this thing came out?  Well, reminisce a bit with a gallery for MPM-11 Ratchet.  🙂  I’ve had him here for a bit and finally got around to shooting him up.  Ratchet is the last of the Movie 1 Autobot crew to get an official Masterpiece slot.  Studio Series has been putting out some OK stuff at a faster pace for sure, but having all of the MPM team together does feel good, and looks great on shelf.   I feel Ratchet was one of the better from the crew, he’s got a nice tight transformation and feels sturdy in both modes.  Colors pop well, and sculpt captures the grumpy doc vibes from the movie.  If you are looking for a nice Movie 1 rep, the 5 of these guys together work great, so give em a look.

We’ve run Ratchet for a set, hit the link below to check out over 40 HD shots.  We’ve also attached a selection to this story.

under Toy Fair

Hello and welcome to another TFW2005 Network event coverage.

We’ve been waiting for this event for quite a while now. In fact, Hasbro took every opportunity to announce that their Investor Event will take place in a grand manner this year. No doubt to rectify for the absence of the usual Toy Fair this time of the year.

Hasbro is not alone this year. Toy giant’s in house entertainment production studio eOne will join Brian Golder and his team to talk about their entertainment offering for the coming year. Yes, you guessed it right: Transformers, G.I. Joe, Power Rangers, My Little Pony, and many, many more.

Oh, one more thing: Joining the likes of Disney, Warner Brothers, and even ViacomCBS, the event will be live streamed across the world.

Without further ado, let’s jump right into Hasbro Investor Day 2021. Check out the video player after the jump, to watch the live stream at 10am EST.
