NYCC: Transformers News Dump
|
Via the Adam16bit Tumblr and Hasbro PR: New York Comic Con 2016 Transformers Announcements. Hasbro supplied a ton of renders, but some products were shown that aren't pictured here since we weren't able to make it to the party.
Generations - Titans Return
New Titan Masters include Shuffler, the legendary Japanese Elephant Headmasters toy. Ptero and Repugnus were also on display, but Ptero you've seen before. Repugnus takes the bug bot down a few sizes. Legends include Brawn and the previously-seen, coming-soon Kickback. Deluxes were expanded by Perceptor, with pre-existing Twinferno, Hot Rod, Triggerhappy, and Breakaway/Getaway. Voyager's newness - Broadside with a sprue of tiny Aerialbot jets to position on his aircraft carrier mode. Leaders will enjoy Sky Shadow, a Black Shadow modeled after Overlord's basic design.
Robots in Disguise - Cartoon
A Bludgeon-like toy supposedly named Blastwave is potentially a Warrior-class toy, and he's joined by a white Drift as well as a jet potentially named Stormshot. New Mini-Cons and "Combiner Force" toys were shown, bringing us new versions of Sideswipe, Bumblebee, Strongarm, and likely more - but there were no sign of the Weaponizers Mini-Cons shown at Toy Fair that still haven't made it out.
The Last Knight - Movie
A new "prop replica" helmet was announced with over 20 sounds from the franchise and is due next year from Hasbro. It's similar to Hasbro's popular Marvel Legends and The Black Series helmet replicas.

Playmobil Ghostbusters - Actual License From Playmobil Coming
|
Via Twitter: Whoa!!! #PLAYMOBIL #ghostbusters sets! This is from Playmobil - these are not to be confused with Funko's upsized licensed figures which were previewed at Toy Fair, including upsized Ghostbusters, Willy Wonka, Back to the Future, and others.
According to a leaked price list the playsets topped out around 90 Euro, and a press release says to expect them next summer. They seem to be primarily focused on the first movie, with a few nods to the cartoon and the sequel. Luis and Janine appear in street clothes and Ghostbusters uniforms. Sets include Zuul, terror dogs, a fire house, the Ecto-1, the Marshmallow Man, and a hot dog cart. With Slimer. It's almost criminal. We saw a few NHL sets this year, but this? This is a bigger deal.
Despite some comments that these are new movie figures, they aren't. The lady Ghostbuster is Janine. The black one is most likely Winston - he's got a mustache. I see no signs of any of the new movie in here, and a little bit of the colors seem off - so maybe it's just a prototype set using existing hair pieces and such. Maybe not. We'll probably know for sure come Toy Fair 2017. I will be there. We're also hearing How To Train Your Dragon Playmobil sets are leaking - but I'm not seeing them yet.
