What's Your Obsession

Certainly took long enough for them to get proper press photos up. Here’s a few shots of the Takara Tomy Masterpiece Rodimus Prime Transformers toy. Already available for preorder at a few import shops, I think I’ll wait for a proper domestic release.

You get to see Rodimus Prime’s weapon here, as well as the general size of him. Oh, and goggles, WOOP WOOP. GOOD NEWS though, not only does he come with the Rodimus Prime face, he appears to come with the original Hot Rod face. While not quite perfect, I’d say it looks much better.

In addition to the figures, Toys R Us is having a few autograph sessions, details of which are under the cut, along with full descriptions of all the exclusives. If you can’t make the show, these [...]

The news on this one has been all over the place, the Transformers Masterpiece toy line is one of my favourites, releasing high quality versions of classic Transformers. While I certainly don’t consider the movie versions appealing, this is apparently going to be the first release in the line, MP-M01 – Starscream. The retail price [...]

Just a quick blurb, Hasbro’s site has been updated to say that this is arriving on US shores as a Toys R Us exclusive on July 1st. I already imported mine from Japan ages ago, shame I didn’t finish my review before this! It’s a fantastic addition to the Masterpiece line of Transformers and I [...]

I’m sure most people are tired of this Masterpiece mold, but since this variant is limited to one store and it’s a movie related (well, post-movie), I kinda like it. No way I’ll order it, but I’m sure some die-hard fans will.
