J.E.Alvarez's rare toy panel has now finished at BotCon 2005. Shown of were, as expected, various rare and lucky draw toys, such as the
Lucky Draw Transformers,
Japanese Headmaster Figures as well as various Chrome G1 toys, and an explanation of the
Clear toys.
The toys shown of also included Un-released toys from G1, G2, Transtech and several Hardcopies and Prototypes. It was the main panel that we'd like to have seen, and it certainly seems to have lived up to what people were hoping for.
