Via the Transformers Generation One G1 Facebook group, we have our first in-hand images of the new limited Funko Digital Pop Devastator, Optimus Prime (Gold with Matrix) & Hot Rod.

Both figures were part of last year’s first Transformers Pop Digital Collection. You had to collect digital tokens in order to redeem the physical toys. Gold Optimus Prime (holding the Matrix) was limited to 999 units (the hardest to get), and Devastator and Hot Rod were limited to 1550 units each.

Update: Additional in-hand images of the rest of the series: Rumble, Sideswipe and Freddy Funko as Bumblebee via Instagram user @dis.trackers

The new Kotobukiya Bishoujo Series Transformers Convoy/Optimus Prime has just been released in Japan and we can share for you our first in-hand images of this statue.

We have clear shots of this original anime-girl rendition of Optimus Prime (revealed together with Megatron), designed by artist Shunya Yamashita, thanks to twitter users @kumakomagoma (who shared comparison shots next to MP-44 Optimus Prime), @tobihira, @uDMO3dQwZhYwsOx, @77mgu_namoji  and @ruibee0127 (first look at the packaging). A very nice detail and finishing on this statue for sure.

Following the full reveal of Transformers Bishoujo Bumblebee, an interview with the Bishoujo series planner has been posted on the Kotobukiya official blog. The interview discusses the history of the Bishoujo Series, how Transformers Bishoujo started, and goes over the designs for Optimus, Megatron, and Bumblebee. Additionally, the blog post also shares a Transformers Bishoujo Series survey (in Japanese) in which Kotobukiya will receive fan responses for future Transformers Bishoujo characters. The survey is running from now until March 28.

TFW2005 has translated the interview into English. For answering the Transformers Bishoujo survey, a reference English-translated version of the survey has been provided on the Kotobukiya fan subreddit r/Kotobukiya.

Check out the English translation of the interview after the jump, respond to the survey with what Transformers you’d like to see in the Transformers Bishoujo series line-up, and discuss the interview on the TFW2005 boards!

Heeding the call of Transformers Bishoujo Optimus Prime (releasing in Japan this month!), the second Autobot to roll out in the Kotobukiya Bishoujo series is her friend Transformers Bishoujo Bumblebee! Re-designed into the Bishoujo style by series artist Shunya Yamashita, the sporty and petite Bumblebee wears a casual hoodie over a light blue top, and short pants strapped with a light blue belt. The hoodie is topped with iconic horns from Bumblebee’s G1 robot head, and featuring colors and shapes that correspond with the the original robot body. Like Prime, she stands on an metallically painted Autobot logo base, and complements Optimus Prime in facing off against Transformers Bishoujo Megatron. She is available to pre-order today from various retailers, and releases around August 2023. Based on product descriptions, the 4th Transformers Bishoujo is on the way; is the next Bishoujo from the previous Anime Expo 2022 Fan Vote?
