In spite of the official street date (24th April) and the expected retail price, some Transformers: The Last Knight figures are starting to crop up on the usual avenues of eBay - even through some actual retailers rather than private individuals. Fellow Seibertronian Flashwave reports on Indiana based Kokomo Toys and Collectibles, for example.

If you're really hungering for the new figures, this is an avenue you might want to take, or you could wait just a couple of weeks, and expect most retailers (including site sponsors) to stock the new live-action movie toyline too!

As expected as early sellers, we also have some early in-hand images of Transformers: The Last Knight toys - namely voyagers Hound and Megatron! The images comes from グエンドゥックヒエン from Facebook Group Transformers Club, and have been mirrored below for your viewing convenience. What do you think of the shots of redesigned Autobot and Decepticon characters below? Enough to keep your interest up? Join the discussion in the Energon Pub, and let us know!

EDIT: Updated with video showing the two figures, by Le Danh!

Even though I may not be the biggest admirer of the Bayformer universe I gotta admit, these toy designs do look great. Both bot and alt modes look awesome!

Yep I'm having that Megatron. You richer folk can get the lovely Leader but this Voyager will do for me. Hound looks great too. I missed out on his AoE toy so may pick this one up instead.

I maybe getting megatron voyager mode if he have battle mask don't like his bot mode in leader class form to bulky compared to sleek bot form in voyager class

After seeing this stuff... I can definitely see Has/Tak cheaping out and using the hound mold for an onslaught toy. The alt-mode definitely looks like something Onslaught would turn into. I know he has a different alt-mode in the movie, but come on, given how cheap last line was, what with them reusing molds from Prime for the smaller guys, they probably would do something dumb like this.

Hope I'm wrong.

Ok, 2 things.

1) that made my decision on Hound. He is a must get. that figure looks awesome! And it is properly fat ballerina-esque! Finally!

2) Yeah that voyager Megatron is awesome and I love it! That figure will be mine as well and head for the Liege Maximo position on my generations shelf. Either way, that figure is gorgeous and I love it

Yeah that Megatron will get picked up and added along with the few movie TF's that I own. But this will be NOT Megatron...gotta figure what to dub him as.

I think you arent going cheap enough. We know Onslaught is a reuse of Long Haul's character model (they even copy the chest and everything):

So wouldnt a reuse of that toy be more appropriate, with just changing the alt mode parts? They end up independent of the robot mode and end up on his back anyway (in both the toy and model) so retooling ROTF Longhaul makes much more sense.

Woah. Even in the movie they are doing retools/repaints!

Well, this give us some good clues about what the toy will be!

One Step Turbo Changers Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade, and Hound (the last two being new molds) have been found at Gamesto for $11.99. The area of the US has not been confirmed yet but these were found by TFW2005 user blackwidow1972. That makes it yet another store breaking the street date like Navy Exchange. Let us know if you find other stores breaking the street date of April 24th 2017.

Remember when people went to Games Stop/Eb Games and other video game stores to buy toys?

Me neither.
