It may be shocking to think that, as of now, Japan is still waiting for the premier of the new Bumblebee movie that most of the rest of the world has been enjoying now for months. In anticipation of this event, Japanese Transformers fans have a chance to win a special Bumblebee plush doll. The doll converts between a super-cute "chibi" version of movie Bumblebee and a Volkswagen Beetle. The transformation is a simple "open a zipper and turn it inside out" scheme seen on lots of other reversible plush toys. This cutie is a VERY limited production run of only 100. Residents of Japan can register to win one of these through the application linked from this website announcing the product. If you cannot read Japanese, here is a "Google Translate" version for English speakers. Check out the huggable little robot below.

Hey guys, have the Nitro Series Blitzwing and Dropkick been found at retail? Cuz I found them at my Target, so maybe that's worth mentioning. Both retail for 30$ each there. I can't put pictures because I can't figure out how

Here's a video review of Dropkick. It's a fantastic figure.

Looks like whatever we know about is it from the Igniters line.

I don't recall seeing the others, but I definitely saw Igniters Blitzwing and Dropkick, as well as Legends class Cliffjumper at a Target. What I was looking for, though, was the new wave of Studio Series. I really want to see what Barricade, Sideswipe, and the others look like in hand

The only one I may end up getting is that pretty PIMP Soundwave.

Is that an RC Bumblebee on the very bottom middle? Looks like hood clips for a shell and an extended front bumper guard.

It's not everyday you walk into a store and find a toy you never even knew was coming if you are a fan living in this age of constant information. But it happened. When walking in the Transformers aisle at my local Toysrus in Montreal Canada, there was a whole new area of shelf space dedicated to the Bumblebee Test Track, a toy that was never brought to anyone's attention before. This is a figure 8 track for young kids to race radio controlled Bumblebee cars. It comes with Bumblebee both in his Beetle mode and Camaro mode. The price was $44.99 CAD (a little over $30 USD). If this interests you or your kids, you might want to stop by your local big box store since it being found in one place in North America means it is shipping out to all retailers.

You can see images of the product below along with the product listing from Toysrus.ca.

he races...himself?

Eh I prefer the 2007 Scaletrix set (that I won from Titans Magazine's Transformers mag here in the UK) where you Bumblebee racing Barricade and both cars have simplistic robot forms they can change into.
