ToyFair 2010 Australia Review - Biographies of Hubcap, Brimstone, WFC Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and more!

Wow I didnt know there was such a big fan market down under...pretty cool. I dont see too much I want this year, but Im digging that Thrust...Somebody finally realized that dollars make sense. Hopefully Dirge will follow. I like Hubcap but Brimstone looks aweful with that skull head. I might pick up the long haul repaint but forget about the black ratchet...

Hot Rod




And bios. Yay!

Not a big fan of those release dates. I wanted me some Leader Class Starscream goodness long before that. Dangit.

I'm pretty happy with those release dates actually. It gives me time to save up for Botcon.

Love the Curse of the Spitting Cobra lol

Lol I saw that "Hot Rod" at AA last year, I wanted to buy it but was broke.

Reading WFC Prime's bio kinda makes me feel like I've been Rick Rolled.

Also Bumblebee is a silent Warrior?

They're designed to be either a leg or an arm, not both, unlike other combiners in TF's past. Each one is stuck as is.

Which is part of the reason why I'm sorely unimpressed with these.

Er...haven't you bought any of the newer figures lately? All of their bubbles have tabs that fold over the card backing. It's not always a solid lock, but it holds them closed for display, rather nicely.

I realize that Japanese packaging tends to be different than our's, but the same results can be had.

I doubt Hasbro will go the Takara route when it comes to packaging.
