Comic Con 08 Hasbro Booth Preview (Including Transformers Stuff)

Nice set up. A box is always attractive.

Why is it that in a country where real firearms are fairly easily obtainable that something that looks like a bloody nerf gun is a big deal?
AR-15 = Good, Super Soaker = Bad
Maybe if Classics Megatron could actually fire bullets it might be ok. perhaps thats the issue here.

Here in Australia Masterpiece Megatron was banned but he looked fairly realistic (all be it over sized) but we also have ultra tough gun licensing laws so it's kinda understandable. And there's no way there'd be any sort of problem here with anything that even remotely resembles Classics Megatron, I've seen traffic lights that are less brightly coloured.

Please don't anyone mistake this for anti-gun arguments or something I just find this situation ironic.

Its probably because in a nation where real guns can be fairly easily obtained legally, it is more likely for kids to somehow get their hands on real guns, hence toy guns trying to be as unrealistic as possible if they're from big, lawsuit-fearing companies like Hasbro.

I wonder if they will bring back the new He-Man Cartoon....

does anyone know it the art book will be only avalibe there or if its hitting store shelves

No, we've seen those before in previews of the Hasbro sketchbook, they're concept art for Robot Heroes before the line started.
DN

those street fighter posters would look nice in my room.........

I guess a cop could mistake a toy gun from a real gun easily. Even one as brightly colored as Megatron. Although it would depend on the lighting and the distance between the two.

Or someone could just spray-paint it black and try to hold up a store with it.

I don't really agree with the toy gun laws, but I understand the mentality.

Man, glad we got the actual RH ones instead.

Interesting. I stand corrected.

Looking forward to the Wolverine and X-Men cartoon and I am very curious about the Ghostbusters set up they have.Will be keeping an eye on SDCC this year,

As per TF stuff I will wait to see what they have as nothing in the near future for me related to it for now

If the Ghostbusters set up is just for the game, I will be disappointed. We already know about that.

they also have the set up for ghostbusters blu ray
