And the Transformers: Cyberverse toys continue spreading around the world. This time we car report that Cyberverse Toys Have been released In Norway.
2005 Boards member Avaran found the figures at Toys”R”Us in Trondheim, and he shared images on our Scandinavia Transformers Sightings forum. Prices are as follows:
Following their impressive MAS-01 Optimus Prime and MAS-02 Megatron, Toys Alliance has shared a MAS-03 Soundwave Full Color Teaser.
The image (not prototype yet) surfaced via Planet Iacon on Facebook and gives us a first look at the sculpt and tentative colors. Soundwave will stand 18 inches of pure charisma, details, extra parts, fully articulated, and officially licensed.
Update: Via Tag Hobby Website, we have the same poster but with our first look at the gray prototype of this figure. We can confirm that Sounwave will come with his partner Laserbeak or Buzzaw.
Toys Alliance will have a boot at The Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACGHK) 2018 from July 27 to July 31, so we may see the prototype there. Be sure to check our boards for updates with pictures once they are available.
You can check the picture after the jump and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!
Via Tag Hobby Website we have the announcement and first renders of the upcoming Takara Tomy MetaColle Series G1 Transformers & Insignias.
The MetaColle (Metal Collection) series is a line of die-cast figurines (5 to 10 cm tall) from different franchises. We had seen our very first MetaColle Transformers with The Last Knight Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in 2017. Now it’s time for our very first G1 inspired characters on this line. As we can see from the images, G1 Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron are expected for release on October, 2018. Each figurine will cost only 1000 Yen ($9.00 approximately).
Besides the mini-figures, a pair of Autobot and Decepticon faction symbols are planned for the same price. A good price for the lost art of die-cast.
You can check out the promotional renders after the jump, and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Following our first sighting of the smaller classes (1-step, Scout & Warrior) of the new Transformers: Cyberverse toys, now we can report that Wave 1 Ultra And Ultimate Class have been spotted At US Retail.
2005 Boards user DanC posted in our Illinois Transformers Sightings forum that he found the Transformers: Cyberverse Wave 1 Ultra (Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Starscream) and Ultimate Class (Optimus Prime and Megatron) toys at Elston Target.
Happy hunting to all fans! Time to dash to your local Target to grab some new figures for your collection.
Direct from Takara Tomy’s booth at the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACGHK) 2018 we have a nice reveal for you. We have our first look at the Takara Tomy Voyager Optimus Prime from the Bumblebee: The Movie Toyline.
The images surfaced thank to TFNDFacebook group. This figure is, in fact, a clever repaint and remold of popular Age Of Extinction Voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime. Besides the new paint and chromed parts, the figure now features a new head with a rotating mouth plate, a new rifle and several remolded parts like shoulders and lower arms, articulated hands, part of the upper thighs and wheels (he can accommodate two wheels on his thighs now) and several other details on the main torso.
Update: Thanks to Stanley Cheung from the Hobbymizer Hong Kong Discuss Facebook Group, we have a nice set of extra images. One of the pictures shows this toy next to MP-34s Shadow Panther (repaint of MP Cheetor) and confirms that this mold is not just a remold of Voyager Evasion Optimus Prime, but a bigger and improved mold that used Evasion Mode mold as a base for it.
A very nice improvement over an already great mold. It is still unknown if we would see a US release of this mold, but considering the new unified work between Takara Tomy and Hasbro, we hope he will see this toy in US stores in the near future.
