Toy Fair 2011 Day 1: News from Seibertron
Sunday, February 13. 2011
As youmayhavenoticed, I'm a big fan of the current Human Alliance Line of Transformers. So for this year's opening day of Toy Fair, I'm going to turn the news over to Seibertron.com, with some very cool items from Hasbro's event.
First up, we'll be seeing some repaints - no surprise there. Bumblebee will appear as a larger version of the "Stealth Bumblebee" figure from 2008, and Skids will sport a similar paint job. But it looks like we'll also be seeing a whole new line of smaller figures that turn into smaller vehicles including a dune buggy, a snowmobile, and a three-wheeler. These smaller vehicles also appear to have a very M.A.S.K.-esque third mode, which is a very cool touch.
The last thing I'll specifically mention here is another possibility for some ~1/24 Transformers action: Hassbro will be expanding their "Leader" class figures to include Bumblebee and Ironhide. Bumblebee may overshoot the mark a little bit (his Human Alliance figure is about 1/27 scale, so an increase to Leader class may push him closer to 1/20), but the sheer size of the GMC Topkick means that a Leader-sized Ironhide could finally give us a properly scaled model of this truck.
This is just the smallest bit of information available on the new Transformers lines. Be sure to check our Seibertron.com for full coverage of the Transformers line!
