Thanks to 2005 Boards member Snaku for sharing in our forums our first in-hand images of the new WizKids’ G1 Transformers Deep Cuts Miniatures.

The Deep Cut Miniatures are unpainted G1 inspired Transformers figurines, and yes… you have to paint them completely. Wave 1 consist of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream. Each figure is nicely sculpted (for a figure this size) and they really catch the spirit of the G1 cartoon. Snaku shared for us some details about these figurines:

  • Each figure come with waterslide decals (white sheet) or stickers (yellow sheet). You can choose which to apply according to your preferences or abilities.
  • Either waterslides or stickers have the respective faction symbol, one of the opposing faction symbol, and one shattered glass version, with the exception of Optimus Prime who includes a transparent background grey outline symbol.
  • Sizes:
    • Optimus: 74mm to the to of his antenna.
    • Megatron: 73mm to the top of his head and 80mm to the top of his gun barrel.
    • Starscream: 77mm to his head, 80 to his jet intake, but keep in mind he’s elevated by his jet exhaust. 69mm from his head to his heel.
    • Bumblebee: 60mm.

Wave 1 is now scheduled for release on January 20, 2020 for economic $4.99, but it seems they have been spotted at some comic stores at the moment.

Courtesy of 2005 Boards member prime roller we can share for you new in-hand images and the identification codes list of the new Transformers Cyberverse Tiny Turbo Changers Series 3.

These new little and fun figures have been found only in Taiwan at the moment. prime roller was king to hunt some of them and he has shared for us some new information and images, revealing the robot mode of each figure. To top it all, we have in-hand images of the little Chromia, Whirl. Arcee and Skrapnel (Sharpnel).

The Tiny Turbo changers figures are packed in blind bags, but there’s a code embossed on the bottoms of the bag near the Hasbro logo. The code starts with a letter of the alphabet and it’s this letter that tells you who is inside. Additionally, there is a tiny circular window on the bags to further confirm each character by color.

Transformers: Cyberverse Tiny Turbo Changers Series 3 Identification Codes list:

A -Bumblebee
B -Optimus Prime
C -Grimlock
E -Jetfire

Via Amazon.jp we can share for you some new stock images of the upcoming Transformers Earthrise Voyager Starscream.

This is a new Voyager Starscream mold, but collectors will sure notice that he’s got a lot of inspiration from the old Deluxe Classics/Generations Starscream figure. The new size sure brings us a better articulation range and more detail. A very great rendition of the classic G1 cartoon Starscream.

This figure can be pre-ordered via Amazon.jp for ￥4,123 ($37.45 approximately) and it’s scheduled for release in June 30, 2020.

Third party company 115-Utopia on Weibo have shared images of their new YYW-04B Upgrade Kit For Studio Series SS-44 Jetwing Optimus Prime.

This kit works with the previous YYW-04A Upgrade Kit giving SS-44 Optimus Prime the final details needed for a more movie-accurate figure. This new kit consists of:

  • 2 big guns
  • 2 spike knuckles
  • 2 smoke stacks extensions

As usual, easy to install and use. The new accesories can be stored in the YYW-04A Upgrade Kit in the battle station mode. We still have no concrete information on price, but this kit should be out any time soon.

Third party company Irontrans, via their Weibo account, have uploaded the first colored renders of their next project: IRV-02 King Leo (G1 Victory Leo).

This a modern and stylized version of Victory Leo which, as you should imagine, will be able to combine with Irontrans IRV-01 Star Blade (Star Saber) into a very modern rendition of G1 Japan Victory Saber. The renders let us see a great rendition of Victory Leo in his three modes (robot, lion and jet). Keep in mind that these are early renders and many changes may be done in the first prototype. For those wondering about the scale, King Leo should be quite a tall figure, considering Star Blade is taller than the official Masterpiece Star Saber.

Via knick knack toy shack website we have some new stock image of the new Super Impulse World’s Smallest Transformers G1 Figurines to share with you.

These are new 1.25 -inch non-transforming figurines, fully painted and sculpted in a retro style. They are not related to Takara’s World’s Smallest Transformers line from 2003.  Wave 1 consists of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Starscream. Each figure comes with a stand in a nice retro blister. Our previous information revealed these figures would be priced $13.00, but the new listings indicate that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are $6.50, and Starscream is $9.99.

While we are yet to see the next waves, all the figurines shown so far are identical to the ones sold last year in Peru via the Hasbro & Coney Park Peru G1 Transformers Figurines campaign and those should give us a hint for the next waves.

Thanks to PrimevsPrime on Youtube, we can share for you our first set of images of the new Generations Selects Deluxe Gulf/Skalor for your viewing pleasure.

Generations Selects Gulf (as he was known in the G1 Japan Masterforce series) or Skalor (as he is known in the US thanks to the G1 toy and comic) is part the new Generations Selects Seacons that will combine into King Poseidon/Piranacon. This mold shares a lot with Power Of The Primes mold, but with enough remolds and new parts to enjoy it as a new modern rendition of Gulf/Skalor. This figure has nice paint applications and great level of detail in his robot and alt mode. Transformation is Combiner Wars style, so it’s nothing really complicated. We also have a look at the Combiner arm and weapon modes.
