Via TAG Hobby, we have a scan of a promotional page from Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. about a new Transformers line of non-transforming mini-figures, not dissimilar from the Hasbro Tiny Titans line - BitFig. The first wave, as seen in the image, will featured (Optimus Prime) Convoy, Megatron, Starscream, and Jazz, all about 40 mm tall and with more to come. Check them out below!

Meister looks so glum.

He's probably disappointed because someone didn't do it with style, and therefore shouldn't have bothered doing it.

The Bitfigs figures are small non transforming collectible figures found in capsules (gashapon) in Japan. We knew of the first wave back in September last year and while there were listings for the second wave (or as they call it Part 2), there was no image available. Well, we finally have one which was found on Taobao. We can now see Skywarp, Ironhide, Soundwave and Black Convoy. The first wave featured Convoy, Megatron, Starscream, and Jazz, and we have put images below showing their size and that their heads can be swapped.

Kinda like Q-Robo

I like these things but I find them hard to get - how much are they at Japanese retail - and are they packed in a way that allows you to pick the ones you want or buy a whole wave ?

Or are they sold in those capsule dispenser machines ?

They are also like those things with lanyards on their heads that they sell in Sainsburys too.

Capsule dispensing machines.

Given how well they scale with Titan Masters, it's a shame they don't have an option for a more proportionate head.

They're supposed to look chibi on purpose.

I'm (rather happily) amazed they don't have a Bumblebee yet.
