Thanks to 2005 Boards member Daimao for sharing in our boards photographic proof of his sighting of two new officially licensed Transformers Podpals Mini plush at US retail.
These are cute and chubby G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron mini plush toys. Both were found at a Dollar Tree store in Norfolk, Virginia. These are smaller versions of the previously reported Transformers Podpals plushes. These new Podpals mini plush are also available via Dollar Tree website for just $1.25 (Bumblebee is also available).
See the images after the jump and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Gosh, didn't know that was a sighting to report! I grabbed those two at Dollar Tree just before Christmas! They're fun, but the articulation is really limited…

Does the name of this line make anyone else think of the Puppet Pals from Justice Friends?

Bee not having a mouth makes it look like the outline of his face is it, and he has cute little cheeks

Oh no these are adorable
Daimao
True. This particular Dollar Tree was not in a very collector heavy area though. I can't imagine that there isn't at least a Bumblebee to round out the TF cast. On a side note, they already have aisles dedicated to Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Easter!

For being "picked over" the fact there's still a Prime, Megatron, *and* Green Ranger is pretty good from the perspective of a PR/TF fan.

I found these today, the box was already pretty picked over so not sure if other characters are available.
