When we made our story on the Transformers Squeezeling toys last week, some good questions came up like: how squeezable are they. Turns out, not very. So while the toys don't have much going for them already, they can't even fulfill the "promise" of the packaging. The very short review demonstrates all that you need to know for these toys, like that if ever you see them at a dollar store, you'll know what you are in for. Enjoy!

Yep. Looks like these are just the poor man's R.E.D. line....

Of course you can't like that--you've gotta boil it, so the plastic gets soft.

I saw them at a local dollar store.
For the price, these are a hard pass.

Agreed. Megs and Cheetor look slightly tempting, but my actually buying them will depend on their ever being dumped at Dollar Tree. I consider that possible because one D.T. near me got a few cases of mainline Star Wars figures a few Christmas seasons ago, even if it was a one time fluke.

Rather expensive for a disposable.

Those are some expensive cake-toppers.

For $5 I'd happily impulse buy one of these to add to my Garry Primal collection.

You Americans thought the Canadians were getting all the fun with their newly found Transformers Squeezling toys but Hasbro wants to make sure you get in on the fun as well. While the individual bots have yet to be released, a 4 pack of the same toys has been found in the US at TJ Maxx. The specific listing below comes from Puyallup, Washington, courtesy of Vector Oracle.
The 4 pack has Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal, Bumblebee and Megatron, and excludes Cheetor and Grimlock. All jokes aside, if you are curious about what these toys entail, here is a review of Optimus Primal. They are typical dollar store fodder.

I wonder for how much that 4 pack would go?

Series 2? Does that mean Cheetor, Grimlock and two others are in series 1? Or are they calling the super deformed ones I'm seeing for the first time in a search, but apparently came out in blind bags in 2022, series 1? Weird. I have to go into town later, maybe I'll stop by and see what they've got.

These are the 1st wave, came in blind bags and a 4 pack here in the uk. I’ve got the 4 pack one

OK, that's what I figured. They're still available on Walmart.com apparently at normal prices or in an 8 pack with 4 black decos for $30 which is just really weird.
Anyway, no luck at TJM today.
