    Huh, looks like another run/retagging of Titan Warriors and Titan Heroes figures. Saw the Shockwave one at a Shopko a couple years back.

    Alright, so what are these called?

    Titans?

    Or Prime Guardians?

    Titans. The Marvel and Star Wars figures that are 5PoA 12" are also "titans"

    Shelf label called them Prime Guardians?
    Or were these in a wrong home?

    Yeah, that's what the tag says. Just named wrong because the SKU was originally out during Prime

    And my Walmart got in a case today!

    I can confirm articulation: waist, shoulder, and neck. So 4 PoA total. No biggie for me, I'll be setting them aside till my almost toddler daughter stops putting all her toys in her mouth.

    Case assortment appears to be 1x Soundwave, 1x Starscream, 4x Prime, 3x Bee, 2x Shockwave, and 3x Megatron (if I remember right). Definitely only one SW and SS per box.

    Found at the Wal-Mart in Escanaba, Michigan, not sure if they're new. As you can see they are three G1s and Prime Bumblebee. They swivel at the head, shoulders and waist, and for whatever reason don't have pegholes in their hands. I can go back tomorrow if more identification is needed.

    Man, this is like the fifth time someone found these and deemed it relevant enough to report them. For toys nobody allegedly cares about.

    And meanwhile, other toys people are interested in get the "saw this last week at Walmart, didn't think it was news" treatment.

    Well to be fair, these things kind if stand out. If I remember correctly, when the Prime ones were released they were end cap peg hangers. These are in a display tray with the regular figures, so they're more "in your face".
    Also, keeping up with what's released and what isn't is kind of difficult on the fly.

    I picked Soundwave, Optimus, and Megatron up... These are fun to pose and mess around with even though they have limited articulation...

    I was at my local Walmart to see if they got in the Vintage G1 reissues, only to be disappointed again, but I did see this little guy and had to have him, only Megatron there had quite a few Optimus and Bumblebees. IMG_20181025_202015.jpg

    Primus, I can't even escape you in the house of an insipid flesh-creature!


    Shoulda been a warning for attitude included.
