Clothing and accessories company DPLS Los Angeles has announced an original collaboration with Hasbro. Via their website, they presented their Overlab Store Exclusive Optimus Prime Figurine for Hong Kong And China.

They are working to promote the new Bumblebee movie, and as part of the campaign they are releasing an exclusive item. What do we have here? It’s a black figurine of a G1 Optimus Prime with DPLS logos and Autobot insignia, all packed in an elegant black box. The figure is about 30 cm tall and it will be available exclusively at Overlab HK stores only in Hong Kong and China this December 28th, 2018. There will be only 80 units available worldwide, so this figurine should be on its way as a rare and hard to find collectible.

Additionally, a commemorative Bumbleebe hoodie available at the stores too. If you live in China, we hope you can grab one of these figurines for your collection. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Via Weibo user蓝色正午 we have our first stock image of the new G1 Optimus Prime Reissue.

This is a very unusual reissue, since it’s just the G1 Optimus Prime truck/robot without his iconic trailer. So far, we know this new Walmart exclusive G1 reissue will include 2 guns and, according to an early brickseek listing, it will be priced $49.97.

Does this no-trailer Optimus Prime please you? Check out the mirrored image after the jump and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

TFND’s Facebook page shared more pictures of the G1 Optimus Prime reissue we revealed here yesterday! Among the key shots, we get a better look at the figure’s accessories, decals and instructions & size comparisons with its Siege, Year of the Horse and Year of the Rooster counterparts.

Do these additional photos now persuade you to make this version of the Autobot Commander a featured part of your collection? Let us know on the 2005 boards!

TFND’s Facebook page shared a reveal from the 22nd Bahamut Gamer Party 2018 of none other than a trailer-less G1 Optimus Prime! As many of our readers noticed, this figure appears to include smoke stacks of a favorable height while the top of the box is curved rather than sporting the right angles of its G1 reissue counterparts Hot Rod and Starscream.

Might this be the Walmart Exclusive G1 Reissue for 2019, discovered just after we’ve learned that Astrotrain is coming in 2020? A guaranteed buy for your collection, no matter the cost? Stay tuned for more details and share your thoughts on the 2005 boards!

While back in October we had reported our first images and announcement of a Commemorative Coin For Transformers 30th Anniversary In China, and now we have some in-hand images and more information about it.

According to the Official Transformers Weibo account, you had to buy certain product via the official Chinese Transformers Online Store between past October 25, 2018 to October 31, 2018 in order to get a chance to receive this coin.

Lucky Chinese fans could receive the coin in an elegant box with a wooden finishing with a golden Autobot logo on it. You open it to reveal a special card and a golden coin which features G1 Optimus Prime face in one side and, as a nice surprise, a modern movie Bumblebee face on the other side.

You can check out the images, courtesy of Weibo users Notrab, 青年Rancho, and Baidu user 四明, after the jump. After that you can sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Via Transformers Peru, we have a very unexpected item that surfaced at popular entertaintment and game center Coney Park Peru. Promoted and sponsored by Hasbro Peru, Coney Park centers are offering 6 fully licensed figurines of classic G1 Characters: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream. My Little Pony figurines are also available.

The figurines come in small bags featuring Evergreen art of each character, so you can choose your favorite bot. They are about 5 cm tall, and made of painted soft vinyl. While you can choose the character and they technically cost $1.5, you can only buy them by recharging the game card at any Coney Park center with $9, so you get $7.5 of credit to play and you receive the figurine.

Curiously, they come in boxes of 50 items and labeled as “Figurine Transformers Bumblebee”. They will be available in 100 units per store and only in December.

A very unexpected item, considering that you should expect something related to Cyberverse or even RID. Peruvian fans haven’t seen official G1 merchandise here in decades. You can check out all the images after the jump and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Via Trans Fans On Facebook, we have information and pictures of the new Mu Model Transformers 3D Metal Puzzle G1 Soundwave.

These officially licensed Transformers metal models are amazingly 3D laser cut models that are assembled from metal sheets. They use a simple slot and tab design so no glue is required, just bend the metal tabs where instructed and attach pieces together. Mu Model had already released some G1 inspired characters before, and this new G1 Soundwave shows off a great level of detail and parts, and one cassette as an extra bonus. Once assembled, the figure is 24 cm tall approximately

We still have no information about an specific release date or price, but previous models were around $60. You can check out the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards
