SGCollect member Sparkplug has posted over on their message board that he received confirmation the Masterpiece Grimlock will be released in March 2009 in Japan at a cost of 130,000 Yen.  He then later posted that Alternity Megatron will be released in two colours (blue and silver) with the car based on the Nissan Fairlady Z.

Treat both as rumours at this stage, but no doubt more will follow in the coming weeks.

Transformers Toy News

Whilst photographing our set of Transformers Collectors Club Exclusive Transformers Universe Seacons we discovered a couple of flaws in the mold which we want to warn you about.

The first flaw, and the most serious, can be found on Tentakill.  The flaw can be found on the figures head (legs in robot mode) and occurs when transforming the toy.  Like several molding problems found in Transformers, the most recent example being Lockdown from Transformers Aniamted, the toy has too much plastic on a joint, which results in you being unable to rotate the legs around, thus meaning that you cannot transform the toy.

The only solution we have found so far is to unscrew the two screws in the legs, allowing you to pivot the legs around.  A permanent solution will be to sand off the edges of the pink leg plastic.

We should have a full photographic gallery of the toy online later this weekend, and will highlight the molding flaw.  What you need to remember is to be careful, too much force will break the plastic.

The second flaw in on Seawing, and is more of a minor problem.  The whole on Seawing, used to fit the Pirranacon hand and his gun, is too large to firmly hold the gun in-place.  This means the guns will fall out of the toy if held vertically.

Other flaws in the toys molding is that the whole in Tentakill, to place the Pirranacon foot, is slightly too small, though you can still fit the foot on the toy.

Transformers Toy News

An auction has appeared on ebay for a black testshot of the Beast Wars Optimal Optimus toy.  The auction claims that only 2 of these items have been confirmed to exist, although they also include a photograph of a certificate from Wixbang toys stating that there were probably less than 10 made.

The auction lists the item as a Hardcopy Optimal Optimus toy, although this does not appear to be the case.  Having said that we've not seen this testshot before and you don't see too many original Beast Wars testshots around, especially of this size.  The auction has a starting price of just under $2000.

Transformers Toy News

Its been a while since we bought you the last NPD UK sales charts, so we thought it was time to publish the July figures:

7 In The Night Garden Mini Plush - Hasbro
8 In The Night Garden 12" Talking Plush - Hasbro
9 Dr. Who 5" Figures - Character Options
10 High School Musical Country Club Friends - Mattel

July 2008 (units)
1 Hot Wheels Car Assortment - Mattel
2 Cars Vehicle Assortment - Mattel
3 Ben 10 Figs 10cm Assortment - Bandai
4 Bubbles Billion Tub 8 oz - Placo Products
5 In The Night Garden Mini Plush - Hasbro

7 Ben 10 15cm Action Figures - Bandai
8 Speed Racer Die-cast Vehicles - Mattel
9 Wall-E Basic Action Figures - Vivid
10 Power Rangers Operation Overdrive 12.5cm Figures - Bandai

Year-to-date (£)

3 Ben 10 Ominitrix F/X watch - Bandai
4 In The Night Garden Mini Plush - Hasbro
5 Transformers Movie Legends - Hasbro
6 Power Rangers Operation Overdrive 12.5cm Figures - Bandai

8 BEN 10 15CM ACTION FIGURES - BANDAI
9 DR WHO 5-INCH FIGURES - CHARACTER OPTIONS
10 BEN 10 OMNITRIX F/X WATCH - BANDAI

So after seven months of sales Transformers managed to keep two positions within the monetary chart but only one within the units.  We expect that the Movie deluxes disappeared from the charts after August, but the Movie Legend line is looking strong and may well hang in the chart for the second year, though it does need a bit of a boost if it can retain its title as Action Figure Unit Sales of the year.  Still no sign of the Transformers Animated toys though, which is not too suprising.  We hope to have the August figures for you soon
