Takara Tomy Transformers Q: New Listings at TFsource & BBTS - G1 Favs and Hello Kitty!

Who are those last 3? I remember Va'al's avatar looked like the first purple garbage truck figure.

"Hello Convoy is the code name for Takara's daring, cross-gender-appeal crossover figure.

Her purpose: to siphon knee-jerk fan-rage away from Bronies."

...that's all I got. Had Joe on the brain for a week since a leak in my basement ruined several MISB sets from about 8 years back, including that Target set with the MOBAT and red HISS tank. It claimed my sealed Nightmare Moon gift set too. A mere fraction of Seib's pain from that flood, since most of my TF stuff dodged the bullet, but a sliver I share.

Back on topic, does anyone else think the shape of the lil' seekers' cockpits makes them look like they come with egg-laying action for a belated Easter assault?

1. Hello Convoy: awesome in a twisted sort of way
2. The Crimson Hiss from that set kicks a whole lot of ass
3. I thought the seekers reminded me more of those old super deformed macross planes, but now I can't un-see the eggs

And I am not ashamed to say that my first thought was, "Oh my God, I need this in my life!" It can hang out with my Disney Label Convoy and they can play a nice game of cat and mouse.

Edit and forget it.

Though unless Hello Kitty is bigger than or the same size as Mickey, this could wind up ridiculously-scaled anyhow. Like, you know, most things involving multiple Transformers toys.

Well, here is how big Mickey is compared to a standard height DVD case:



And grabbing the measuring tape, he comes up to about 4¾" in height. So if this is true:

...then I guess Mickey will indeed tower over Kitty. But I am okay with this. They will still be the best of friends in my collection. And on hot days, they can even hang out with my popsicle mascot transforming vaguely Optimus-ish guy, for extra corporate mascot fun.

Man, add Pepsi Convoy into the mix... and too bad I never got Sports Label Convoy. I could have a whole bunch of fun with Mascot Primes! (What is Sports Label Convoy going for these days... Checking eBay... And... Yeah, never mind that...)

Evanglelion units one, zero, and two. Though you've probably seen more pics of unit zero in blue than orange, since it gets a new paint job early in the series.

I mayyyyy have to look into getting those.

Before or after you get the Evangelion MP 10?

The Hello Kitty transformer has arrived. There is no loving god.

Blogger Alfes2010 was busy today posting galleries, among them being Q Transformers QT-19 Optimus Prime and QT-20 Megatron! See these adorable little guys below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

How is this any more difficult than it has always been?
