We have updated the toy gallery section of the website with our first update of 2012, the Kero Kero Ace exlusive Starscream (also known as KeroScream or FrogScream).  The figure came free with the Feb 2012 issue of Kero Kero Ace which we purchased recently along with the Beast Wars II DVD.

FullMetalHero.com have posted an image gallery and short review of the TakaraTomy release of Transformers Prime Vehicon.  The figure, which is painted as oppose to being plain plastic like the Hasbro release, is out now in Japan.

Facebook user Juan Lecaros has posted an image on the Facebook group "The Transforum" of the Mastermind Creations Cyclops figure.  You can view the image below.

The latest issue of Toy News Magazine confirms that the Transformers Prime toyline will be released within the UK in March 2012.  The line, to be released in the Spring / Summer of 2012 will also include apparel / dress-up, furniture, lighting and outdoor toys (including bikes).

The launched will be supported by TV advertising a sticker collection from Panini and the Transformers Prime magazine so expect the figures to be included in the latest Argos catelogue which is out soon.  The toys will also be shown off at the Toy Fair later this month with Optimus Prime featuring on the cover of the magazine.
