Tubbz and Treads licensed toys

A couple of oddity licensed items that might interest some here.

One is a pair of licensed PVC figures called Tubbz, which are Optimus and Megatron as Rubber Duckys. They are about 9cm tall and will be us$18 in America. (no idea if they would come here)

The other item is from Tomy (the non-Japan arm of TakaraTomy) who appear to have now been allowed by Hasbro to expand their range of Hasbro Brands (like Transformers) into Hasbro markets, as these items are called Monster Treads, which are Optimus and Bumblebee done as Monster Trucks.

It's a shame the rubber duckies aren't... you know... rubber.

I'm still tempted.

Already have the plushies pre-ordered and will keep an eye out for the monster trucks.

The Tomy Monster Treads have been found listed on a UK retailer site, for a hefty £27.99 (about au$45).
Note that the packaging doesn't have Hasbro on it anywhere, so these are purely by Tomy in Japan, for non-Japanese markets.
