Thanks to 2005 Boards member engledogg for giving us the heads up of new Hallmark Fluffballs Transformers Optimus Prime & Bumblebee spotted at US Retail.
These fun ornaments were found in the greeting card area of Giant Eagle supermarket in Pennsylvania. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are available for $5.99. Great for gift or decoration for the upcoming Christmas.

Speaking of Hallmark…
Here's a screen grab from a YouTube user IdleHandsBlog's video of Hallmark's booth at NYCC 2019.

Here's a link to the video
The Jazz bit is at 3:38 but it's just the cutout like they did with Bumblebee last year. Didn't see any other Transformers stuff in the video but just skimmed.

Yep, there's a little loop at the top of each.

Do they have a loop at the top to string something through? It's hard to tell here but judging from images of other Hallmark fluffballs it seems like that's the case. They could work as ornaments.

Similar items are 4 x 4 x 4 inches according to Amazon.

It’s hard to gauge size of these ornaments. Are they baseball size?
Rodimus Prime
Prime's face plate is too small. Makes him look like he has a gag on.

Nice.

Hi,
Not sure if this qualifies as news or not, but I found two new (to me, anyway) Transformers items while grocery shopping at Giant Eagle (a supermarket chain here in PA, and elsewhere) this afternoon.
I first learned about these in September, but didn't see them in person until today.
Hallmark Fluffballs (which, according to the tag, are ornaments/decorations) featuring Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

$5.99 each.
These were located in the greeting card area in their own Fluffballs display (I didn't see any other Transformers characters, but there were some other properties – I'm pretty sure I saw some Marvel stuff in there).
