Hasbro has a long history of putting gimmicks into Transformers, from Mini-cons to Powerlink to Cyber Keys. The next generation of gimmick-driven Transformers are the Power-Core Combiners. In this review I’ll take a look at Skyburst and the Aerialbots. There’s more… click to continue reading Transformers Power-Core Combiners Skyburst and Aerialbots Hasbro has shared a ton of pictures (101 of them!) of upcoming products across its boys toys lines – GI Joe, Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers were all represented this time around. We’ll start with GI Joe – they only included one shot versus the bunch they included in the August press pics, but Sandman is liking the new line. He picked up Beachhead and the Alley Viper first, and then Firefly a few days later. G.I. Joe News | August 31st, 2010 |
When we first saw that Hasbro would be making a Samuel L. Jackson-based Nick Fury for it’s 3.75-inch Iron Man 2 line, I wasn’t sure how it was going to make it to retail. So I was pleasantly surprised to ole Nick in an exclusive Toys R Us boxed set entitled Fury of Combat on the shelves this week.

Back in March, we asked Hasbro about the possibility for an unmasked Iron Patriot variant, based on the card art by Mike Deodato, Jr. They played coy back then, but Big Bad Toy Store has one in hand. At $200, that’s a pretty steep markup, but that may just be a reflection of the availability of the figure. Has anyone found one of these at retail? If you have shoot us some pictures!
 A whole lot of Transformers for sale I’ve been to a lot of conventions in my day, but I’ve never been to one devoted to a single, specific pocket of fandom before. The Cybertronain Conference (or CybCon, as it’s known) is a convention devoted to the love of Transformers and all things Cybertronian that takes place in Tacoma, WA every August. It’s very much a DIY affair organized by Greg Gaub to give those Pacific Northwesterners who aren’t able to make the trek to larger events like BotCon or San Diego Comic-Con a place to meet, chat, buy, sell, and bond over anything and everything involving Transformers, and I have to say – it was pretty cool.

Hasbro has a history of releasing Masterpiece figures from Japan in the United States and making alterations to the figures that turn out to be a detriment to the figure. However, with the Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock, this time they got it right. There’s more… click to continue reading Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock Quick Pics
 Transformers Animated Ironhide and Rodimus Minor The Transformers Animated line, for all intents and purposes, ended several months ago. However, thankfully for for fans of the cartoon and the toy line, Toys R Us has kept the line going with several exclusive deluxe class figures, Rodimus Minor and Ironhide being the most recent releases. Both are hotly anticipated and must-haves to finish off the collection and could very well be the final offerings in the line. There’s more… click to continue reading Transformers Animated Rodimus Minor and Ironhide Quick Pics I was very sad to hear about the passing of Eddie Wires earlier this week. The staff of the Fwoosh put together a small article with our remembrances of Eddie. Some of us had just seen him a few weeks back, during San Diego Comic-Con. Eddie – we’ll miss you.
