This last year has seen some of the best Transformers figures coming from Hasbro. I think it is safe to say, that Combiner Wars has been a success for Hasbro. As fans we have gotten some great figures, without having to pay the high prices the Third party company’s like to charge us. While they may not always be as ‘clever’ as some of the other offering out they, there is no denying the fun to be had!
Even after having to spend a little extra cash on the Perfect Effect upgrade kits, we do end up with awesome figures like this!!
We still have a few things to look forward to from the combiner wars.
While the G2 repaints may not be to everybody’s taste, its always nice to get extra figures.
Next year is set to be just as good, if not better! We were recently treated to some lovely displays of the Titan War’s line, at the NYCC, which is the line that will be taking over from where Combiner Wars leaves off.
It defiantly seems as though Hasbro has the 3rd party share of the market in its sights! With figures coming from Hasbro to match recently, or soon to be released for other sources, it seems Hasbro do have a plan!
While the level of engineering may not be up to the same standard, do the alternatives warrant the price difference?
Admittedly, Dx9’s Tyrant is Mp Scale, and rather good looking! But we will be getting a third mode with Hasbro’s version, and a little headmaster Megatron to pilot Galvatron Jet.. If that’s your kind of thing.
But it doesn’t stop there. There was literally a plethora of figures to feast ours eyes upon!!
Theses have got us very excited for next year at Kapow Toys.
But our personal favorite, has to the brake from the G1 norm, to make a fan favorite, Blaster, into a Base for all the Head masters!!! While he keeps his Ghetto blaster mode he gets a base mode as an extra feature!
All of this, and we are still to see the awesomeness of Titan Wars Fortress Maximus!!!!!
Its safe to say, that we feel its a good time to be a transformers collector!
You will be able to find all of the figures at www.kapowtoys.co.uk when they become available. We have lots more toys goodness for you in our warehouse
, so come and see what takes your fancy!
