Just found some images of one of the new Transformers: Animated figures - Blitwing! He’s a triple changer like in the old series, but not only does he turn into three things, he has three personalities and is quite nuts. One personality is like Col. Klink (I’m waiting for him to scream “HOGAN!”), the second is an Ah-nold charicature, and the last is best described as Deiter from SNL. It’s a nice spin on the character! Here’s where I found them.I’m really impressed with how closely Hasbro is getting the face sculpts on these guys! It makes the wait til June for their release quite a long one! To bide my time until June I kind of already bought an Optimus Prime figure on Ebay. I mean, it wasn’t THAT much of a mark-up! Cincinati got a bunch of the figures released as a test market for them - so I wanted to join in the fun too. But being on the west coast meant I couldn’t exactly drive over to Ohio. I tried getting my buddy in Indiana to go get some of them, but no dice. Oh well, I’ll get some pictures taken of Prime and get bloggin on him. I’ve been trying to be good and stay away from Transformers news for a while…..but they are, after all, the greatest toys out there!

Now, go transform your toys out of their packages!
