Happywell Toys have updated their Road Bots page with the introduction of a new figure. That figure is a 1:18 yellow Hummer H2. While the Road Bots have not been seen at US retail or online stores, efforts will be made by the staff here at TFW2005 to try and find a dealer that will pick up the line. Road Bots also feature the following figures:
1:18 Silver Toyota Land Cruiser 1:18 Yellow Toyota Supra 1:18 Silver Toyota MR2 1:18 Blue Toyota Celica 1:18 Red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII 1:18 Yellow Hummer H2 1:12 Black Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX 1:12 Yellow Ford GT
Hasbro has released their second quarter earnings. Profits fell about 8% due to the decline in Star Wars sales. However, strong brand sales like Transformers and G.I. Joe have helped them offset the declining Star Wars sales. Even with the decline in profits, sales were higher than an analysts' expectations.
We wanted to interrupt this very eventful weekend of news to announce that our veteran member, former TFW2005 staff member and fan artist, John "King Starscream" Flores has finally tied the knot with his fiance (he got married).
Your friends and family here at TFW2005 wish you only the best, Johnny! Sorry about the picture, it was the only one I could find on short notice.

As there is always alot of contreversy surrounding anything to do with 88MPH Studios, we ask that people please keep a civil tone when discussing these developments.
