Transformers

The retro themed Transformers ReAction figures line continues to expand with the announcement of four figures based on the 1986 animated theatrical film! The four figures revealed are King Starscream, Galvatron, Hot Rod and "Fallen Leader" Optimus Prime. These are not yet up for pre-order. The Facebook post (embedded below) indicates these will be available later this month to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film. The packaging even features the colorful "Transformers: The Movie" logo! For now we have some nice preview pics to admire in all their retro goodness!

The Buzzworthy Bumblebee line marches on with the posting of yet another 4-Pack of figures on Target.com! This time out it appears to be a repackaging of four previously released Cyberverse Warrior Class figures: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream. This four pack is currently available for order and is priced at $52.99 (which is about right given that these figures are generally somewhere between $13-15 USD individually).

Sad news came over the weekend from several news outlets including Deadline. Actress Markie Post passed away on August 7, 2021 at the age of 70 after a three year battle with cancer. Post's acting career began in the late 70's and continued into the 80's with appearances in classic shows including CHiPs, The Incredible Hulk, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, and The Fall Guy.

August 8, 2021 represents the 35th Anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie feature film debuting in theaters.  Aside from making me feel tremendously ancient, this anniversary also has me in a reflective mood and I thought I would take a walk down memory lane.

As the latter half of 2021 rolls on, Transformers product is trickling out sometimes without any big announcements. Amazon has recently posted listings for several releases under the Dinobot Adventures banner. This line appears to be a standalone extension of the Rescue Bots line, using many of the sculpts from that line while not using its logo anywhere on its packaging. Also listed now are the "Roll N Change" figures first revealed back in June. Check out the listings and images from Amazon below.

After trickling out to stores for a couple weeks now, Target has finally posted its listings for Origin Bumblebee and the Worlds Collide 4-Pack. At this time, you can order Origin Bumblebee (limited to 1 per person) but the Worlds Collide 4-Pack is not available at the moment to ship.

Long after the era of the Autobots and Decepticons, a new team of Dinobots emerges from the fires of battle!  Led by the gigantic T-Wrecks, this new generation of warriors brings chaos in the way only Dinobots can!  Check out my review and gallery of the Target exclusive Kingdom T-Wrecks figure.
