The Hong Kong Toy fair has now finished and whilst Hasbro were reportedly not at the event, there were some Transformers licensed products on display. One of these products were licensed replica polyresin (ABS) statues of Transformers Movie Optimus Prime and Bumblebee along with a prop-replica of the Allspark from FMC. Atamaii TV Blog were in attendance with their reporter Stu Carter recording a video introduction by FMC representative Mike.
The statues are Asian exclusives, are articulated and come with interchangable accessories. Mike explains in the video that the Bumblebee figure is to scale with the Optimus Prime statue which is why he is smaller with Prime standing at 20" tall and Bumblebee who is 14" tall.
The figures are on the expensive side with Optimus Prime retailing at $1,699 (that is USD not HKD) with Bumblebee being $1,399.
The Allspark cube is made to scale for the film and costs $299.
The first run of both the Optimus Prime and the Bumblebee statues have now sold out within Asia with FMC looking to produce a second run. You can view a video below.
An auction has been posted on TaoBao which shows off the scale of Mastermind Creations upcoming Hexatron figure. Hexatron is better known as Not-Sixshot and will also be released in the colour scheme of Greatshot and Shadow Maru from Brave. You can view the images below.

e-Hobby have updated their product listings with some new, clear, official stock images of the upcoming Takara-Tomy Transformers Generations TG-19 Grimlock and TG-20 Ratbat figures. As expected from Japanese releases, the toys have metallic paint with Grimlock also having a a more accurate red abdomen where as Ratbat has been given a new head which appears inspired by the IDW Comics Senator Ratbat which was first "leaked" via the instruction sheet which came with Transformers Generations Scourge. The head will no doubt be reused for future recolours and we could image that these may include some of the Brestmasters. You can view the images below.

Several auctions have been posted on TaoBao which show some new Transformers Bot-Shot figures, in packaging. Below is a list of all of the characters and auctions with the images mirrored after the jump
Eagle-eyed OzFormers admin Griffin, noticed that on an advert for Hasbro celebrating it's 90th year there is a picture of what appears to be a brand new Optimus Prime with the text Transformers Generations below it. The image, which can be viewed below, shows Roller transformed into the gun of the Autobot leader!! Could this be the start of a new line of Transformers Generations figures once Fall of Cybertron is done? The answers may well come out of the US Toy Fair in a month, as they are unlikely to come from the British Toy Fair.
