More Figure King Images of Takara Transformers Studio Series, plus More

Brand unification" makes me want to vomit.

Big thanks to TF Fan Phil who reached out to us with some pretty awesome news. He found the Studio Series figures while doing his groceries:

Found the Studio Series Deluxes last night at Dillons Marketplace (part of the Kroger chain) in Derby, Kansas.

He says there were 2 of each deluxe, which makes sense in a case of 8. These were priced at $24.99 USD. While it appeared that these would only be coming to retail in April, this confirms that these deluxes are ready to ship to retailers and that Hasbro has already shipped some out.

The ones found at Dillons Marketplace were Ratchet, Stinger, Bumblebee, Crowbar, and you can see in hand images of those toys here if you are thinking of picking them up. Also, for those unaware, the Takara version of this line will have the exact same toys, as you can see here, so fans don't need to wait for their releases this time.

If you find them, let us know in our sightings section and sightings forum!

Ill grab stinger and the dread. Totally skipping the ratchet and bee. It seems they said f**k scale with this line, at least with ratchet. That ambulance is bigger than an H2 hummer but some idiot at hasbro thought it was the same size as a camaro.

EDIT: Especially since the official website lists them at 20!

Relax, I'm willing to bet that is just the store chain jacking the price.

Dillon's / Kroger do in fact Jack up prices, 25 dollars is how much they charge for most Deluxes, so the walmart/target prices of these Figures will most likely be 20/22.

Regular source of toy news NOTRAB, user on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, has shared some new in hand images of a Studio Series figure that many have been quite keen on: the new Leader class Age of Extinction-debuting Dinobot leader Grimlock!

Check out the images below, featuring Grimlock in both Tyrannosaurus Rex (liberally inspired by) and robot modes, plus some poses, including a very static one with the background that is part of the line's packaging. Is this movieverse design something that interests you at all? Will you picking one up? Make sure to let us know in the Energon Pub discussion forums, and join the conversation!

While I'm no movie fan this thing does look very nice. I'll definitely be picking him up.

Too detailed...

DAT GRIMLOCK!

These are standard retail toys available sometime this year between now and summer
