Bumblebee Movie toyline

[griffin]

It's still about 9-10 months before the Bumblebee toys will be released at retail, and probably won't be officially revealed until SDCC in July (although, retailers will see them at Toyfairs around the world FEB-MAR, and we might see some leaked images at that time)... but we might have our first product listing for the Bumblebee movie toyline.
An online store in the Netherlands, have just listed "Bumblebee Movie Tiny Turbo Changers", which would be too late for the TF5 Tiny Changers... but with the fifth movie having Tiny Changers, this could be a legitimate listing, just a little earlier than they were meant to list it. (it doesn't say when they are to be released)

I wonder how big the toy line will be since it's a smaller budget movie that will most likely have fewer Transformers onscreen?

The UK has a new merchandise licensee for the Movies - Blue Sky Studios... and will be at the UK Toyfair in the first week of February (which might give us some new info or images of Bumblebee Movie characters).

While on the topic of licensed Movie merchandise, it looks like we might get some plushies for the sixth Transformers movie, of two different sizes, according to a US wholesaler listing.

• Transformers: Clip Bots Plush Assortment ($5.99)
• Transformers Bumblebee Plush ($14.99)

No images yet.

The UK Toyfair is on this week, and even though the Hasbro exhibit is closed off from the public, we do still get some info about the Bumblebee Movie from one of the license-holders - Simba/Dickie (the diecast vehicles and remote controlled toys).
No character names yet, but there is one image of a remote controlled VW beetle, in packaging that has a new look Bumblebee on the box.
That should mean that we should be getting some Hasbro toys of a VW Bumblebee, that look like the licensed remote controlled car in that image.

Posted up on TFW is a long list of what might be coming out for the Bumblebee movie toyline, according to listings in various UK store listings.

Hasbro are definitely going all out on the toy merchandise for this movie (and these are probably just the gimmick toys)... and they've had an extra six months to pad out the toyline too. Since it is probably going to be a lower rated movie than the others, it will definitely be marketed at the whole family, including younger kids, who will want all this gimmick stuff.

Bumblebee: The Movie
Transformers Movie 6 Power Core Feature Hero; SKU: 285 E0982 – previously reported here as “TRA MV6 POWERCORE BUMBLEBEE”.


Transformers Action Attacker 15 Assorted; SKU: 285 E1884 – previously reported here as “TRA ACTION ATTACKER 15 AST”.


Transformers Action Attacker 30 Assorted; SKU: 285 E1885 – previously reported here as “TRA ACTION ATTACKER 30”.


Transformers Movie 6 Tiny Turbo Changers; SKU: 285 E0692 – first reported here as “Tra tiny turbo changers – 141183 – $2.99”; also listed here as “TRANSFORMERS BUMBLEBEE MOVIE TINY TURBO; EAN 5010993466122”, reported here, later again reported here as “TRA MV6 TINY TURBO CHANGERS”.

Studio Series
Transformers Gen Studio Series Voyager Destroyer; SKU: 285 E0755 – the Hasbro product code number (E0755) doesn’t match any previously known Studio Series Voyager Class figure (Brawl is E0772, Starscream is E0774, Megatron/code name “TF2 Fox” is E0775, Optimus Prime/code name “TF2 Radar” is E0738, Ironhide is E0978, the ROTF redeco of Starscream is E1680, and the entire assortment is E0702).
