Transformers Toy News

If you are within the UK or Europe and you look out of your window right now you will probably notice that its bright and sunny outside.  As such that can only mean one thing .... the continuation of our Spring / Summer Special of updates.

Following on from our last set of updates, the paint-samples of two of the Brainmasters, it is with great pleasure that I bring to you today another piece of European history, a FEP (Final Engineering Pilot) of Transformers Generation One Classics Sandstorm.  The image gallery contains comparisons with both the original release of the figure as well as the final gold box "classics" version (which had the black plastic feet that were painted and different colour stickers).  The early testshot Sandstorm is made from a milky white plastic and was purchased from the former head of Hasbro Europe.

Enjoy!

Transformers Toy News

In a follow-up to the news we bought you yesterday afternoon regarding Hyper Hobby Feb 2011 containing an article and images of a new­ly unearthed Generation One Prototype of Rodimus Convoy that TakaraTomy recently found in a warehouse, we can now bring you some low resolution images thanks to Masabon from TFW2005.com.  The figure is actually a hardcopy and is significantly taller than the released version.  According to the text this was the original Rodimus toy that was designed by Takara but the toy was nixed by Hasbro in favour of a smaller, cheaper version that was eventually released.

­

We will keep our eyes out for higher resolution scans, and if we find them we will let you know.

Yahoo Japan seller Sharbicc has really pulled it off this time, his latest auction is for what appears to be a never-seen before prototype for a Super Hybrid Model style Generation One Unicron!  This non-transforming prototype stands at 35cm tall (over 13 inches) and is described as being found in a workshop.  This piece is bound to attract attention, but with a heavy price tag of over $4600 dollars for a starting bid, its going to be one expensive piece.
