Attention Legacy collectors! Sponsor site Bigbadtoystore have just updated listings for two new possible Legacy Voyager Twincast And Metalhawk figures.
While we still have no images yet, we had reported the product numbers for Legacy Twincast and Metalhawk last year. Twincast is likely to be a redeco of Blaster while Metalhawk may be a new mold. In any case, could this be part of the Transformers Fanstream this January 31st?. Time will tell.

Via an eBay listing we have images of a Transformers HasLab Victory Saber prototype to share with you.
This prototype is molded in blue, light green and gray, giving Victory Saber a unique look.
