Thanks to 2005 Boards member Darkhawk79 for sharing in our boards our first images of the new Transformers Squeezelings figurines.
These are officially licensed non-transforming G1 figurines in “chibi” style. They come in blind bags featuring the Transformers Evergreen art. There are 4 characters to collect: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream. They were found at a Dollar Tree store in Arkansas for $3.00 each.
See some in-hand images of each figurine after the break and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I remember these, but they're a little more "cool" than "cute" though. I want them to be the nostalgic OG, 20th century Gundam SD style than the modern SD style like these Kids Logic designs.
THE-TRANSFORMER
Too late – already done.
These designs are based off the Kids Logic figures that came out years ago:
It's a shame we didn't get this last lot, because I would have really loved the Shockwave, Rodimus and not to mention, putting us on the path to finishing off the Seekers…
The main… ?4? Prime, megs, Bee, Starscream came in a bigger more articulate version with extra accessories, then they were shrunk down to a smaller size with less articulation and sold in packs. All still had light up features.
Not sure where you'd get them now but you could probably find them on ebay or something.
Some other company re-released the a couple of them, smaller again and without articulation… I wanna say Mighty Jaxx, but I could be wrong.

…..nope, not me, definitely not in any way.

Anyone else thought this was Blackout the chopper in some bizarre G2esque colors?

The design & deco of each figures are really good tbh, too bad they're in these cheap squeezy format, if they're in Bandai's SD model kit line I'd buy these and build them up as "below the monitor" desktop toys.

I like these color schemes. I really like Bee and Meg’s paint jobs, hope we get a full size figure painted like ‘em one day
Szilko
Ok, but that inverted color scheme goes epic with Bee.
It reminds me of the "High Octane" and "Stealth" designs for his Bayverse and Prime incarnations.

I like to think black Megatron is a cheeky nod to one of his Diaclone variants
Edit: I love how BB's toys here resemble his G1 incarnation yet the box art is based on his evergreen Genericamaro design

So that’s what the dang name is for these… Found the blind bags in Grocery Outlet for like $2/each and got Prime and Starscream. The former wasn’t bad, but ‘Screamy’s gray head bugged the hell outta me so I went over it with a black sharpie.

So \"black color mode\" is just Megatron X, Skywarp, stealth Bumblebee, and black cola Prime, awesome I like it. But in all seriousness I do think these are cute little things, really reminds me of the old Dark Energon collection from TFP. Also I can\'t help but notice that the little dot of blue and black on Primes crotch looks a bit awkward.

Nekkimus Prime is the best Prime.

What do snakes do?
Venixion
I'm confused by this statement?
Oh. I wonder why they're called squeezelings then?
galvatran
That's an obscure character…
sdtessmann
Does anyone know of ANY way to find Dollar Tree Plus locations? The store locator on the DT website is less than helpful, as is Google. Or maybe I'm just using them incorrectly…
soundwavempl
Not really. They don't squish easily if at all.
Venixion
Are they squeezable?
soundwavempl
And apparently you are guessing as the code is the same on all bags, even if it is a different character.
