Close up pics of the MP3 Soundwave as well as the Rumble and Frenzy Earphones. Took these shots during my trip at the Tokyo International Toy Fair.

Fresh hot off the press… actually, I just came in from Great Toys in Greenhills with some of the guys from CybPh. Lo and behold, the store owner mentioned that he has on stock a pair of Nike Free 7.0 Transformers in his greenhills shop. With that queue, Eric/Thunderbreak sprinted to the nearest ATM so he can score with these limited edition collectibles. Here’s an enticing set of pics of the box and the, uhm, shoe.

Thanks to Ziggy Stardust for the heads up and Rohml for the pics. Voyager Ironhide and Starscream sighted in BEST Toystore in Manila. Price is Php 4500 (around USD 90).

Playkit, the official Philippine distributor for Hasbro products, has released the Transformers Classics value two-packs in local malls. Price is Php 1200 for each two-pack. Now, Filipino Transfans can get a Bumblebee-Astrotrain set or even a Rodimus-Starscream set at a reasonable price!

Thanks to TFW2005 for the news:

Titanium 6″ Cheetor in European packaging!

Thanks to lastmaximal for the pictures and review of the Titanium 6″ Cheetor and The Fallen!

These figures are already available for Filipino Transfans at Patrick’s toyshop and hopefully, in local malls as well.

Here is his review and you can join in the discussions HERE

BM Cheetor and The Fallen are out locally! They arrived earlier this evening at Patrick’s Toy Shop [Ptoys!]

Thanks to Wildstar for generously lending us his Titaniums for a quick photo-review.

anyway, the quickie reviews:

Cheetor’s pretty solid, a nice heft and what feels like reasonable weight distribution. As you can see below, the face sculpt is awesome. The only awkward thing is how moving his robot forearms [just up and down elbows, mind] has to move his folded-back beast forelegs. it’s like he has long elbow spur things.

Transformation is simple, but effective… flip cat head and neck up [tucking in robot head], turn arms into arms and legs into legs, spin waist around. He has a tail in both modes.

Sadly, the swords are soft plastic and were somewhat warped into a sideways bend by the packaging. They’re also somewhat annoying to put on the hip-pegs for beast mode.

I’ve included some comparisons with TFU Night Slash Cheetor and Titanium Jetfire.

The flaming billboards actually come in a separate bubble and can be attached/detached to the back, but do not need to come off for transformation. They do look like they will pop off and not snap off if the figure is accidentally dropped. I do not, of course, plan to test this. icon-fire.gif

Transformation, incidentally, is also simple but effective — perhaps not as much as Cheetor given the ad-hoc altmode on this one [Don made it look good though]. turn waist, fold legs, fold billboards out into tread housings and wrap around legs, fold arms round back and make them cannon things.

I like how his ‘fists’ swivel so you can point the would-be fist holes vertically instead of horizontally as he has them packaged.

Was at Thunderbreak’s house last night with Protoform-S (ooh, another fan screening? LOL) who needed help combining his newly bought TF Classics Devastator. That’s where we got this idea of comparing thhe Classics Devie with the Energon Constructicon Maximus (Conmax).

 

 

We were wondering how this exclusive compares to the Energon (Conmax). Here are some pics:

 

  

We have also mixed and matched the limbs to give Classics Devie the G1 look.

 

 

Protoform-S called to tell me that this article has been posted at TFW2005 and TFormers. Had to tell everyone.
