A little bit ago,
G4TV and
Jumpcut held a contest allowing fans to remix select Transformers clips for a chance to win several prizes. Well the final winner of the competition was James Zahn, and he has sent TFWorld2005 pictures of his one-of-a-kind Transformers figure, which you can see
here. The Hasbro Design team made the toy specifically for the competition. Included were 2
versions (robot and vehicle forms) with a custom base and case.

On ebay at the moment is a very rare auction indeed, a prototype concept of a Jungle Attack Starscream figure. The toy, black and green camoflague, is similar to the un-produced "Death Starscream" figure we have seen.
The toy may well have been a concept for a Generation Two colour scheme, which was abandoned. The toy has a high reserve but is well worth looking at.
You can see the auction
here.

Part One Ltd's lates e-Hobby Shop exclusive toy,
Clear Rijie (Alternator Mirage), was released recently in Japan. We have bought you various boxed and out of packaging images of the toy, but you can now see a 19 images of the toy in our
August 2007 AcToys Site Mirror page.
Unfortunately our contacts at e-Hobby left earlier in the year, and they have not returned our messages since April. This meant that we were unable to order the Binaltech Clear Rijie toy, or any future e-Hobby exclusive toys ... something we have done for the lsat 7 years.
