    Haha! Those are actually kind of awesome. I love that the Optimus does a realistic transformation.

    Cosplay figures + mass release = shelf warmers

    Cosplay figures + 'con exclusives = must haves

    Until we see something with a screw hole, an actual joint, or a size comparison, I'm convinced that these are *Mascots* who will be "at the booth" as mascots tend to do, I don't think there is anything toy involved....

    I'm sorry, but the news page got totally misunderstood: these are actual humans in costumes. Booth "mascots" are cosplays indeed.

    TRANSLATION of what it says on the news pic:
    To celerbrate the 30th anniversary (of the Transformers), this year we will feature brand new Optimus Prime and Megatron mascots for fans to take pictures with. Full body painted with realistic shadings. The funniest thing is not just that Megatron looks evil, but also Optimus can actually transform! Just like one of those Japanese pretending shows, he can change into truck mode in one minute. If you're interested, must be there to see them yourself.

    You see, although there isn't an exact word like "costume" or "cosplay", these are for you to stand by with, and they transform themselves. And yes, the mention of "Japanese pretending shows" (things like 全日本仮装大賞, there'r a lot of clips on YTB), so definitely not dead figure toys...

    Also, the con name is ACG-HK, (ACG for Animations, Comics and Games) not Aga. This con has been happening annually for over 10 years.....

    No, no. They'll have actors dressed up like that at the event, that's all.

    Thanks for the clarification.
    We just saw this post and would like to correct the information.
    These are not toys for sale, they are costumes and will be shown in Hasbro Booth for people to stand besides and take photos with them.
