Anyone have any idea what these are? Not sure if they contain stickers/cards or maybe some sort of wafer/cracker.

or maybe temporary tattoos?
I know the katakana "チューインガム" means chewing gum. I'm having trouble reading the rest because I get an error trying to load the full size pictures (and my eyes aren't good enough to see the small pics well :p)Quote:

Can confirm that it is indeed chewing gum. The rest of the text goes on about the benefits of chewing gum - nothing TF related though.
Thanks very much guys, was hoping there was a sticker or card inside! They can go back in a box for a few more years :D
by now it probably is a card of chewing gum...
Feels kind of mushy actually, unlike the G1 trading card gum that I opened which was basically concrete!Quote:

Ah good to know, makes sense, thanks!Quote:

Anyone have an educated guess as to how big the biggest Beast Wars MPs would be if TT stick to the same scale? (IE: Tigerhawk, TM2 Megatron, etc.)
I reckon the new Megatron release will have to be one of the biggest, if they did bring out a TM2 Dragon then it may be a little bigger buy I'd say there is a slim chance they would tackle that. (would be nice to be wrong on that one though)Quote:

Im sure Verno posted some of the Beast Wars size charts here but search isn’t helping me, so check out this post for some clues if the MP toy heights were accurate to the show.

What do you guys think the odds are of a new CHUG mould for Inferno, Grapple and Artfire?
I never really liked the Universe 2.0 mould and the POTP Inferno is just a repaint of Hotspot.
I'd say slim to none, to be honest I'm surprised they did a repaint of hotspot. It has been a while and I'd guess that Hasbro consider this repaint enough of a new version of the character to group him with all the other 'non-combining' G1 characters we got in the last couple years that already had a decent Generations representation.Quote:

Aside from Omega Supreme, Scorponok, Black Zarak and Metro Titan are there any other obvious characters from G1 for HasTak to do in Titan Class?
The Guardian robots were blue and white versions of Omega Supreme, though they were more like drones than actual characters. Only other character I can think of is Raiden/Trainbots, since the likes of Predaking and Devastator got Titan class figures.Quote:

Which G1 deco of that mould do you guys feel is most accurate? Opinion seems to be divided between Hasbro and Takara's late 2000's G1 redos.
the 2010 takara reissue of unicron but he goes for 500$ :(Quote:

Thankyou for any help
The head stack looks to be 5mm square, can anyone confirm?
How does one change the name of a thread? Since the POTP online cartoon miniseries has ended, I thought I would add a review of it into the thread that reviews the Titans Return cartoon rather than starting a whole new thread.
maybe buy a couple junkers so you can make some reliable measurements.Quote:

As far as I know Micromasters were the only toys in the line to use the term micro so I'm not sure what they are comparing them to with micros in the jingle.
Maybe micro machines???
Definitely a dig at Micro Machines. Even the original packaging was an imitation of Micro Machine toys.
“They’re not just small” -> also a dig at the Micro Machines that were just small.
Ok, according to Google Micro Machines were small toy cars. I learnt something! (or maybe just remembered a long suppressed childhood memory). Cause all I ever remembered of Micro Machines were Star Wars and Star Trek toys. I had a ton of Micro Machines Star Wars and Star Trek ships and fighters.
Yep in the late 80s, Micro Machines were all sorts of small vehicles, released in multi packs (just like Hasbro emulated). They were very popular when I was in primary school but I just cared about the Transformers.Quote:

I did dioramas of my military micro machines and the small legion figures. I thought the mini figures matched up well with the mini tfs.
