PRODUCTS: Possibly the strangest news to hit the fandom in the past couple of months, but it seems that Xybot has stumbled onto what might possibly be Transformers PVC figures from Hasbro! The rep(s) Xybot spoke to at Hasbro mentioned finding in their system "2 inch" listings of Arcee, Megatron, Optimus Prime (APEX - Convoy?), Optimus Prime (FIRESTORM - God Ginrai?), Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and a medic (Ratchet?)! The Hasbro representative told Xybot that these figures will retail around $5.00 (US) and will be available at Toys R Us, Target, Kay Bee, & WalMart! Thylacine2000 also called the Hasbro hotline # to verify this awesome news and found out that the figures have already shipped as of this past January! Read the original thread here!
