Third Party company Shockwave Lab has showed via Weibo images of their next upgrade kit: SL-62 Articulated Hands for LG-35 Super Ginrai.

This is a pair of new movable hands for the Takara Legends Super Ginrai mold and for his final combination as God Ginrai. They seem easy to install and can hold Ginrai’s sword. They are made in red and blue to match the original hands colors.

We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but Shockwave Lab products don’t take much time to surface online once they share images. Check out all the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Third Party Company Transform Element has shown the first images of the color prototype of their MM-01 Hornets Tiger (T-Beast Bumblebee) in beast mode.

The images were shared via Transform Element Weibo, they show a very original and different take on Bumblebee. Rather than a vehicle mode, this incarnation of Bumblebee transforms into a mechanical yellow tiger with black stripes… a wasp tiger? I think you got that reference.

This design comes from the doujin artbook (non official) Transformers T-Beast by Kuramochi Zukan Group, which take G1 characters into mechanical beast modes. Other third party companies have also worked with these designs before.

Update: New Image of the colored robot mode via Transform Element Weibo

If you are looking for something original and different for your collections, we are sure you will be interested in this mold. If you missed the gray prototype in robot mode, you can find it here. Click on the bar to see the colored tiger mode.

Chinese metal handicrafts manufacturer Tongshifu has teamed up with Hasbro to brings us new Officially Licensed Transformers Copper Statues & Figurines.

Did you think die-cast was a lost art? Tongshifu is bringing a nice and detailed line of Transformers statues and figurines made of copper for the Chinese market. The list of characters covers a variety of lines from G1, The Last Knight and the Bunblebee movie, all of them highly detailed and with a nice sculpt and finishing.

  • G1 Figurines – Small scale, available in unpainted copper. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream.
  • The Last Knight statues – Bigger scale, fully painted. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.
  • The Last Knight figurines – Chibi-style painted characters. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Sqweeks.
  • Bumblebee Movie statues – Big scale with characters in scale to each other. Available fully painted or unpainted. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Soundwave and Blitz… Starscream? (check the color version). Some of them seem to be based on early concept art like Bumblebee who still has his door-wings on the back.

Additionally, some furniture like chairs are being released. We still have no information on price or if these items will be released outside China.

We have a bit of interesting rumor to share with you. Weibo users JakeToys and MEGA-Decepticon have reported that the official Hasbro China’s Taobao store had put up new pre-orders listings for new Masterpiece movie and Earthrise figures for 2020.

The listings were taken down after some minutes, but both Weibo users claim the got the respective screencaps as proof. Some of the characters were expected, but others are really nice surprises. Read on for the complete list:

  • Masterpiece Movie Starscream (Transformers 2007)
  • Masterpiece Movie Ratchet (Transformers 2007)
  • Earthrise Titan Scorponok
  • Earthrise COMMANDER CLASS SKY LYNX
  • Earthrise Voyager Quintesson
  • Earthrise Deluxe “Quintessa”
  • Earthrise Deluxe Runamuck

Considering the actual line up of the Masterpiece movie series, Starscream and Ratchet sound like a logical choice. On the Earthrise side, Scorpornok and Runamuck were already expected for release, but the big surprise here is a Commander Class Sky Lynx. If it comes to be true, this new size would satisfy the scale necessities of many collectors who were waiting for a bigger official release after the Combiner Wars Voyager Sky Linx toy.

A Voyager Quintesson would be our first official toy of the evil aliens (unless you consider Energon Alpha-Q). Quintessa is a total mystery since the first and only incarnation of this character comes from The Last Knight, and the placeholder images only show a planet.

Remember to take this with a grain of salt until we get a proper official confirmation. We still have no images of any of these toys, since the listings only have placeholder images.

Time to speculate ¿Excited for these new figures? ¿What are your expectations? ¿Guilty or innocent? Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
