    Saw this at TRU before the T-Day break. I forgot I had it on my phone till today...

    Think it may have been about $10. Has a mirror, comb, shave foam, fake disposable razor, body gel, cup and brush for the foam..

    ummm... I think the constructicons are the only ones with facial hair so far.

    This is just odd.

    I think they did one of these for BayFormers too.

    Kids like to copy their parents. I guess this is safer than letting a kid run riot with a real razor and ending up needing Prime's mouthplate to hide the injuries.

    I await the Transformers Animated pipe and tobacco set.

    Considering the small amount of facial hair I am able to grow, this might be perfect for me.

    ...and winning the award for most pointless cash-in product of 2008 - The Transformers Animated Pretend Shave kit.

    Seriously what the hell...what the hell were the licencing people thinking. I demand they be fired this instant and give me the job. There must have been a big back hander to justify this.

    I don't think i can even think of a less justified tie in product. Plus won't this incourage junior to play with daddy real razor?

    This is almost as bad as the Flintstones advetising cigarettes...but even that had the excuse of being from a different time.

    *facepalm*

    I also spotted it at Target this morning near the registers. It was slightly different but looked like it had the exact same stuff inside. It was $6...
