Transformers Studio Series: Transformers One: Deluxe Class SS112 Optimus Prime - Pictorial Review

Next, something fresh from the farm, courtesy of Hasbro Malaysia and Hasbro Singapore. 

For those who doesn't know, a new animated Transformers movie will be released in September 2024, simply titled Transformers One

We'll leave the debate on the design elsewhere although I welcome the different concept used. Watch, then judge.

Apparently this is "Orion Pax" mode, pre-matrix. If I'm not mistaken, Optimus Prime full design still not shown in trailer.

Limited Edition Transformers 40th Anniversary Coin Set

Been on a short hiatus welcoming a new member to the family. Received another package yesterday courtesy of Hasbro Malaysia and Hasbro Singapore with quite a number of goodies. We'll go through them one at a time.

First and foremost, commemorating the 40 years of Transformers (1984-2024), we have Transformers 40th Anniversary Coin Set, a Gift-With-Purchase limited edition merchandise. Before we go about how to attain it, let's check it out first.

As far as I remember, this is the second coin merchandize that is complete with a box (for at least Malaysia and Singapore's market)

Petition : Haslab Omega Prime To Be Made Available Through Toy Shop

 It's been a long months, busy with a lot of things. Hoping to pickup the pace in the near future.

I'm posting this to ask everyone to help sign this petition of making Haslab releases available through local toy shop for Malaysia and Singapore

With the release of Omega Prime exclusively through Pulse, we'll experience a significant price increase compared to previous Haslab releases. At retail of RM1350, the total price might be increased to RM1600 to RM1700 (RM100/RM200 shipping + 10% tax).

Not sure whether it'll make a difference but maybe we can try to show how much local collector will prefer to have this made available through our local toy shops so that the price would be more affordable and payment only when item is released

I'll try and share the petition with Hasbro to show what we feel about this. Thanks for those who support

Transformers Studio Series Core Class ROTB Noah Díaz Exo-Suit

We're really closing in on to the completion of ROTB lineup. Next we have the [somewhat bearable] human character of ROTB, Noah Diaz [Exo Suit]. 

Jet Blaster Mode

No he doesn't look exactly like in the movie. Noah follows his appearance at the end of the movie wearing an exo suit [technically he's wearing parts of Mirage] but this toy also comes with a jetpack. 

Transformers Studio Series SS-106 Leader Class Optimus Primal - Pictorial Review

A long overdue review. Had finished the photography last week but haven't got around to sit and start writing. 

Presenting the leader of the Maximals in Rise of The Beast, SS106 Leader Class Optimus Primal

In Package

Perfect choice for the box's artwork. Optimus Primal in gorilla mode looks as intimidating as it gets. One thing I never got used to is how soft the boxes are nowadays.

Transformers Studio Series SS-105 Deluxe Class Mirage - Pictorial Review

Moving on to our next review, the Autobot that was clearly meant to replace Bumblebee (and I actually like the character), Mirage

Before we proceed... 

huhuuu Mirage should be an F1 car.. 

huhuhuuu he should be called Jazz instead... 

Get over it. As much as I like G1, this is not

In Package

One glaring issue you can see here is they put Mirage's early character design with different head sculpt, on the box. 

Well...not really an "issue" though. It's just weird thinking how much earlier did they produce the box that it used the old design. I could understand for the mainline but SS was always meant to be released later than the mainline. 

Did they made it even before the movie got delayed?
