SDCC toys, images & info

[griffin]

The SDCC begins in about a week, which is likely to have a number of presentations that relate to Transformers, including new toy products. Plus, as the convention continues to grow each year, more and more exclusive toy products are being produced just for that event.
This year in particular, there appears to be 4 different Transformers themed items (that I know of) for purchase!!!

Ultimate TF3 Optimus Prime, packaged in truck mode and exclusive packaging (which should have been a month earlier than it's general release, but some are saying it has already begun to ship from Asian sources this week).
It shouldn't be an exclusive deco.

Transformers:Prime Deluxe Optimus Prime - also doesn't appear to be an exclusive deco, but is some 4 months advance-release of the general release of this figure. Comes in exclusive Matrix-shaped packaging.

Optimus Prime Nerf blaster - this one is news to me... it appears to be a TFs coloured pre-existing Nerf blaster called 'Barricade RV-10', and NOT the upcoming TF3 Nerf blaster. It costs US$25, and requires batteries.

GIJoe Skystriker as Starscream, with Cobra Commander holding Megatron in gun mode - If ever you wanted an official crossover toy for these two Hasbro franchises, we finally get one... and it will be probably be a nuisance to obtain one. It even comes with a rub-sign - how cool is that?

Official packaging images of the two Primes and the Starscream can be seen here.

A schedule has also been posted up for events on this Friday (22nd), which we will see covered on fansites on our 23rd.

I just remembered the advance release of the TRU MP Rodimus will be at the SDCC as well, which is the same figure and packaging as the general release.

I've just popped the maddest boner looking at the Nerf Barricade gun.

The Amazon Unicron has 'Decepticon' on the box Also, I didn't realise he still had the light-up hand (I thought they got rid of it).

Unfortunately my Armada box is buried under a tone of other boxes but if memory serves me, I believe that version was also labelled a Decepticon, I think it is purely labelled as such so that parents and the un-informed can identify the toy as a bad guy.

Either way, I am really considering picking this one up as I decided to skip the Takara 2010 issue.
