Hi guys,
Sorry, I couldn't find the
New Toys topic, so I thought I could start a new one. Yesterday, I went to Target to see if I could find some decent stationery and cardboard envelopes for some fan letter writing, and I checked out the toy section. Lo and behold I found some new
Transformers from Hasbro that I just HAD to buy
surprised ! I haven't bought a 'new'
Transformer since I bought that one small tin box figure and
Reflector from the
International G.I. Joe Convention in 2005. They're called
Transformers: Real Gear Robots! They're basically
Transformers made to look like real 1/1 ratio devices that we have today such as the cellphone, an MP3 player, a videogame control, a digital camera, camcorder, and binoculars! Thanks to the advancement of real technology, devices today look like toys and visa versa! I think these new twists on an old idea were made just for me! I've been dreaming of such
Transformers ever since I saw Generation 1 with
Soundwave, Blaster, Reflector, etc.!
Although these are a far cry from the upcoming
REAL WORKING AND TRANSFORMING MP3 PLAYER Soundwave coming out next month from Takara, they're still very well designed and extremely cute
4laugh . Each package does note that what you're buying is a TOY and NOT A REAL CAMERA/CELLPHONE/BINOCULARS/ETC., each toy does have some nice detailing which
this collector describes a lot better than I can. Hasbro could have at least put cheapo plastic magnifying lenses for
3x Longview though
xp ! All I can see through his lenses are a blur!
Yes, I went nuts and bought the entire line
sweatdrop ! I would like to buy that real Soundwave MP3 player, but my computer is too antiquated to do anything with MP3s. Basically, if I got it, it would probably just be another
Transformers toy to me!
