STGCC 2013: Preview Pics of Play Imaginative, Hot Toys, and Transformers by Jedd

Our good friend Jedd was at the Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention for their preview day, and sent in these pictures. He writes in:

Today was preview day for STGCC and I managed to get some pictures. I have a couple of pictures of Play Imaginative’s Iron Man stuff, including the 6 inch scale Hammer drones. The Hot Toys Exclusives at the convention are: Joe Colton from GI JOE Retaliation, The Iron Man “Midas” Armour, Evil Superman from Superman III, and “Star-Spangled Man” Captain America. There’s also a Metroplex Transformer that is being brought in by The Falcon’s Hangar store.

Thanks a bunch, Jedd!

Border Patrol: Transformers – the frenzyrumble Edition

This week, I was amazed to see three separate frenzyrumble Transformers customs up for auction, all going like gangbusters. There were two previously owned customs going back on the market, and one directly from frenzyrumble – we’ll start with that one.

Transformers Masterpiece Soundwave by frenzyrumble – folks have started finding the new Masterpiece Soundwave at retail, but only one of you will have this customized version, with Soundwave and all five minions receiving detailed paint jobs – Soundwave also gets a red LED to light up his visor – ends Aug 29, 2013 09:28:27 PDT

Hasbro MP-02 Masterpiece Soundwave

Hasbro continues their recent yearly tradition of bringing over Takara’s amazing Masterpiece Transformers with the new Masterpiece Soundwave. Hasbro really stepped up their game this year however, including all of the currently release cassette tape minions along with Soundwave. These cassettes had been sold separately in Japan and the inclusion of all of them in this set was a big surprise to most fans, especially considering the price of $119 that this set sold for. To put that in perspective, the Takara 2-packs of cassettes were $60 each, and this set includes Soundwave and 5 tapes, as well as a slew of accessories.

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Ms. Marvel Duo, DC Universe Classics Batman Year Zero, and Transformers Prime Megatron

Marvel Legends Ms. Marvel and Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel by Cal – I hope Hasbro gets around to both of these figures, as Carol Danvers and Karla Sofen as Ms. Marvel both are worthy of the new busty build – this begs the question, though: just how many Thunderbolts sets did Cal get? – ends Aug 14, 2013 19:00:26 PDT and Aug 14, 2013 19:15:06 PDT

SDCC 2013: Hasbro Transformers 30th Anniversary Panel Reveals

Yes, our Transformers coverage at SDCC was terrible. It started Thursday when I pulled a novice move and left Room 25ABC because I had a couple hours to kill between Mattel’s first panel and Hasbro’s Transformers 30th Anniversary panel. I got back to the room with plenty of time, but the line to get in was super-long. On top of that, the previous panel was for the Transformers on the small screen, so very few seats opened up.

Thankfully, Hasbro sent us these images for showing off the reveals in the panel. The big news – for the 30th Anniversary, they are introducing the Thrilling 30 – numbered action figures that spawn the lines in the brand. The thirty will include Windblade, the fan-built bot created earlier in the year. My votes must have counted about a million each, because she turned out almost exactly like what I picked – the exception is that Windblade is an Autobot, not a Decepticon. Boo to the good guys.

The thirty will also include figure(s) from the new Transformers Construct-Bots line that Hasbro introduced to us over breakfast. Hasbro listed out the first eleven on the list, and also sent out pics for upcoming figures from each of their Transformers lines.
