Browsing for product images today, and then looking here to see if it was mentioned yet (couldn't see a topic when doing a search), I saw that some of the TFs Potato Heads have been added to the Hasbro Product Page, with product numbers and RR pricing details... for anyone who needs them or archives them on their websites. Optimus truck/robot - $7 Starscream jet/robot - $7 Grimlock robot - $4 Optimus robot - $4 They also have the first wave of Battle Masters listed on the Product Page, but their individual Pages don't exist (or the links are wrong). You get to see the product numbers and RR pricing though (even though they have already been found in some parts of the world). 2-pack Optimus Vs Megatron - $25 Starscream, Barricade, Bumblebee, Prowl - $15 each
Those prices on the Potato Heads can't be accurate, can they? I mean, most licensed Potato Heads at retail (Marvel, Star Wars, etc) are like $12-$13 a piece
It's hard to tell from these images with no other references, but judging from the packaging these guys are going to be much, much smaller than your typical Potato Head. Not sure how to feel about these guys. On the one hand, these guys seem to miss the point of the mix-and-match potato head play style. On the other, the way the parts come off to "transform" is really neat. Also loving the design of potato head grimlock, even if he doesn't transform. Might have to grab these guys if I ever see them.
I still have my Opti-Mash Prime Potato Head figure from the first movie line. I don't need this new one.
Actually, the packaging shows these new toys do NOT have custom potato'd names. It's now Mr. Potato Head "as Optimus Prime", "as Starscream", "as Grimlock". Surely a step down in creativity. They could easily have come up with: Starch-Scream Gr-yamlock
