Movie Roleplay weapons found - Sword, shield, cannon

[griffin]

Roleplay weapons are back for the fifth movie, and there are four to begin with (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/04/05/transformers-last-knight-role-play-items-listed-336723).

We have an Optimus Sword (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DS22494), that looks similar to one that was apparently released for TF4, but there are some minor sculpting differences, and it doesn't look like it has a light up feature (it doesn't say it does, and is cheaper than the TF4 sword... which looks like it might be reissued (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DS75446)).

Then there is an Optimus Shield (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DS22496).

And a Bumblebee cannon (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DS22495). (no image yet, so we don't know if it is a re-release of the TF2 Bumblebee cannon, or a new one)

Just like for TF4, these might end up being licensed items, rather than toys produced and distributed by Hasbro... and if so, we have less chance of seeing these here.

Yet another role-play weapon has been found (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/04/29/transformers-last-knight-role-play-optimus-prime-battle-blaster-sword-338131), and released in America - a new Optimus sword/gun, that homages his new sword from TF4, but when the end of the blade is retracted, it looks like a "gun" in the style that Cade was using in TF4.
It is also electronic, so it has lights and sounds, including phrases from Optimus.
The price is US$25, so if it comes here, it will be about AU$50.
