- Motto: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
So quick question, with the first wave of 5, I know a couple items got released out of order, but where they relatively close to the release of the comics series, or several months after?
I mean the first issue is supposed to be out in August, and the Ultra Magnus toy not until October? But I guess this makes sense. IDW has to have all their stuff published before end of year when they lose the license, but the toys will be coming well into next year. Kind of sad.
But I did notice an odd skip:
Ultra Magnus is supposed to be released 10/1/22
Blaster is suppose to be 11/1/22
Then Slicer is 2/1/23...
Does that mean the last 2 could actually fill in gaps from December 2022, and January 2023? Or do we think the last 2 will be further into 2023? (Also what are the rumors for the last 2? I'm sure this was stated somewhere else, my apologies I could not find it).
At any rate, at least they are on pace to reveal the last 2 before the first issue of the comic comes out to avoid spoilers. Also I know the excitement of these toys is not solely driven by the comic, probably more people will be getting these that wont even read the comic, than will, but for any media tie in (whether print or animated), it seems like Hasbro cant win as far as timing.
Lastly, I did say I wanted that "Roritchi" repaint, but I dont feel compelled to pre-order it. When it is finally released, if I have the funds on hand I'll get it, if not, so be it.
