Chooch Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 I had missed the Wave 4 announcement until recently: https://tformers.com/sdcc-2022-transformers-minimates-series-4-hot-rod-ultra-magnus-dead-optimus-more-revealed/46631/news.html Quote
DSTZach Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Apologies for the delay in shipping (I want one as badly as you do), but here is a video unboxing the TF SDCC set. Ignore the misuse of accessories in the 360 portion of the video, I was not consulted. Quote
nandoninny Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) funny how great packaging can make a cool toy even cooler. looking forward to see what else you put in a VHS box for minimates. hopefully a cool Joe set? any idea when they're coming out? Edited August 17, 2022 by nandoninny Quote
elhonez Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 [ahem] If I may suggest another VHS box set: Quote

A Predator VHS boxset would make you guys a bunch gosh-darned social Tyranosaurs ... just like Jesse! (A&E version for the Multiverse.

DSTZach Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 You know, I'm not sure of the status of our Predator license, but that would certainly be cool. Ditto Alien, Bruce Lee, John Wick... well, now I'm sad. Quote
elhonez Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) John Wick as a VHS would be good, clean anachronistic fun. Or you could get meta, and put it in a box made to look like a Roku or an AppleTV. Edited August 18, 2022 by elhonez Quote
cylonchaney Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Considering when the first John Wick movie came out, I would personally find that marketing silly. Maybe something that would look like a DVD box set? Enter the Dragon VHS 6 pack with Bruce Lee, Roper, Williams, O'Hara, Bolo, and Haan. Quote
DSTZach Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) We actually did an action figure VHS John Wick figure for SDCC, and they nailed the old-school VHS look. (It sold out.) Edited August 19, 2022 by DSTZach Quote

elhonez Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 Wow! I hadn't seen this. (and I apologize if this is a re-post, but I don't see my reply from earlier today) This is a very cool and novel way to package toys... earlier I had posted that Neca is doing something similar with their Ultimate movie figures, but those are based on the movie posters, which is a subtle but important distinction.

MiniFiend UK Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 They look really nice and I much prefer the cartoon colour style and these. Quote

luke314pi Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 The SDCC set is arriving here tomorrow! I am excited to see the packaging in person. 🙂 Quote
nandoninny Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 Woo hoooo! just got my email from you reminding me i ordered this! Quote
elhonez Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 I love the cartoon colors, it's a great look. Quote
luke314pi Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 I was mistaken - these are arriving next week. Quote
luke314pi Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Here are some comparison pics: Personally, I prefer the VHS colors. Quote
ApexPredator Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Same. Would love to see another wave with soundwave and shockwave In these colors Quote
elhonez Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Daaaaammn. The VHS colors really pop. I love the cel-shaded look on Prime's windshield. Quote
MisterPL Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Why do all of the VHS versions look consistently larger than the Series 1 versions? Quote

I checked, and while both versions have hip risers, the VHS figures have slightly larger hip risers that add a tiny bit more height. Quote
Strider Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) My set arrive from Luke’s. This has got to be one of my favorite minimate sets so far. I am not one for keeping packaging but I really love how the VHS turned out and I am definitely not throwing it out. I also prefer these to the original releases. I wish there was a way to get Bumblebee a little bit smaller but that is my only nitpick well that and the fact that these do not actually transform 🙃 Edited September 20, 2022 by Strider Quote
nandoninny Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) i too love this packaging. i'm really hoping they ditch the gi joe carded packaging for the vhs type packaging. the first few releases of GI Joe, cool as are (just get them out already). anything else, switch to this. love it.
