US Toyfair 2013 wrap-up

[griffin]

This is just an archive of the various new Transformers toys that have been revealed at the American Toyfair... for others to refer to later, and for me to add to our 2013 Checklist.

People are having so much fun with the spontaneity of the various Toyfair topics that are currently active (with new items popping up or being discovered like a treasure hunt), I decided not to merge them together, or post this onto any of them. So please keep talking about the Toyfair stuff in those other topics. This is just a reference listing.

(I actually spent about 2 hours doing up about 3/4 of this, then lost it all - Firefox doesn't like downloading more than 30 or 40 images in a row, which causes it to freeze up and then you lose all the windows and tabs when you force-close the program)


I abbreviated any re-existing waves to save space. If you need to refresh your memory on the details, check our Checklist.
2nd Q 2013 = US Spring (March/April - which is our Autumn)
4th Q 2013 = US Fall (Sept/Oct - which is our Spring)

[griffin]

Great wrap up Griffin. Even found something in it I'd not read about elsewhere and need to research further.

I'm intrigued... what did I include that was news to you?

[1AZRAEL1]

I'm intrigued... what did I include that was news to you?

With all the new things announced it was easy to miss a few things. I missed the kreons that were announced. Too excited about metroplex

[High_Q]

I noticed that Masterpiece Sideswipe has not been mentioned during ToyFair as getting a release. Has it been mentioned elsewhere yet whether there'll be a Hasbro release of Masterpiece Sideswipe?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I noticed that Masterpiece Sideswipe has not been mentioned during ToyFair as getting a release. Has it been mentioned elsewhere yet whether there'll be a Hasbro release of Masterpiece Sideswipe?

The theory currently is that due to licensing for Lamborghini, it is unlikely to see a Hasbro Sideswipe.

But they might do it later, just nothing announced either way to as to whether or not SS gets a Hasbro release.

[Paulbot]

I'm intrigued... what did I include that was news to you?

The Platnium release of Grimlock Vs Bruticus (redeco FOC figures). I haven't seen that discussed anywhere, probably because there were no pictures (or were there?) or it got lost in the stream.

I don't think we really need yet another repaint of Bruticus but maybe it will be the best deco yet? (And by "best" I mean "the one fans complain about the least )

[5FDP]

I don't think we really need yet another repaint of Bruticus but maybe it will be the best deco yet? (And by "best" I mean "the one fans complain about the least )

Yeah, no amount of paint can cover up the fact that it's a crap toy.
