    Hasbro's been pretty lame at picking and choosing when to reveal things lately, and then not revealing things that have already been leaked or that the fans assume are coming...

    Just hoping they at least do something to hype "Rise of the Beasts" it would be crazy not to. Hoping the figures will be spot-on, too. I was frankly disappointed with both TLK and the early Bumblebee Studio Series figures, granted, the movie models probably weren't finalized when the figures went into production... but seeing as unlike Marvel, Hasbro owns Transformers, so you'd think they'd figure out how to schedule their movies better so they can deliver the best possible product when the films drop. TLK wasn't all bad, Voyager Megatron was great--but even that was still kind of off model.

    It’s great to see that NYTF is happening next year. It was certainly missed this year.

    NYTF is not open to the public, if I remember correctly.

    Things are never going back to normal. If you think otherwise you're either naive or ignorant.

    I hope to God I'm wrong, but history says I'm not.

    And that's all I'm going to say so I don't break the rules.

    Even though we are getting the before COVID shows back (NY Toy Fair, hopefully SDCC and NYCC) I hope the fan first Friday\'s continue.

    We’ll do far as we know “accurate” studio series figures ain’t coming till 2023. But I do hope the line offers some more “complex” figures that are at least somewhat accurate to tide us over till then.

    Yeah... I should've mentioned AoE, too. Not bad figures, but I sure hope they learned their lesson after all those fruit colored Dinobots :lol 
    At least WFC-level complexity would be nice, I hope they don't just do the Energon Igniter route again.

    Also, as an aside, I hope the Beasts will actually have a role in this movie. I'm getting annoyed by a lot of these studios trying to "trick the fans" lately, baiting with one thing, then the movie ends up being completely different. I actually liked the film OK I guess, but for "Snake Eyes", having his classic suit show up for about 5 seconds despite that visual being all over marketing and the toys etc was pretty sleazy if you ask me. Without spoiling, I felt betrayed by "ETERNALS" as well... So for all we know, it'll just be Autobots vs Terrorcons for 90+ minutes, and then after Prime finally defeats Scourge etc, the Peruvian jungle bushes rustle behind them and in Ron Perlman's voice a wire-and-gear-covered gorilla whispers, "Optimus Prime, you can call me... Optimus Primal" :lol  but of course, we'll get a full line of Beasts in this BayKnightVerse style... :rolleyes:

    I actually liked the different-colored dinos, even though I appreciated those "Premium Edition" decoes as well. I love the movieverse designs, but there's just too much gray in them, on the shelves the AoE dinos popped more.

    That said, I would expect, given the longer time it takes to design a toy compared to how long it takes to tweak a CGI design, Energon Igniter-level complexity for the main "temporary" RotB movie line itself with concept art used for the basis of those designs. I would hope Hasbro had learned its lesson from the inaccurate BB Movie VW Bee, helicopter Dropkick, and car Shatter in Studio Series, and save the complex, more collector-oriented toys of these RotB characters until at least mid-2023, after their on-screen appearance has been known and finalized so when we get the more expensive articulated stuff, it's accurate. It might be hard to be that patient, but given the realities of toy design I think we would need to wait at least that long.

    Let's hope they're well prepared and put on a good show, it's been sorely missed.

    I really want to know how to get into the Hasbro showroom. I used to work with a company that had general access to the toy fair, but I could not get into the Hasbro stuff with that company’s credentials. I do a radio show, and I’ve been told by the people of charge at the station that they think they could get me into the Hasbro stuff, but no one really seems to know what that process looks like. I would love to go with hopes of interviewing the Transformers team and play the interview back on my show. Granted, I really want to see the new figures in person, but I would like to start making more of a name for myself by meeting these company representatives like YouTube reviewers do.

    Why do a shared virtual toy fair where you have to fit within someone else's schedule when you can do your own virtual showcase and give yourself as much time as you want/need?

    If NYTF is going in-person again, then you've got the benefits of being in that shared space. But I bet they'll still do at least one major PulseCon anyway.

    It isn't after looking it up but I would assume members of site's will be invited to take photos of Hasbro's stuff (TF's, Marvel Legends, Gijoe, SW's sites)
    That's basically what's gonna happen the ROTB toyline will be basically toy's based on concept art more so than the CGI models also will probably from listings be like Cyberverse with gimmick toys along with Deluxe figures while SS ROTB figures will happen in 2023 so they're more accurate to the movie and will help keep SS going into the future and avoid like you said another BBM Beetle Bee, car Shatter, helicopter Dropkick. Still hoping for a new VW Bee.
    So yeah I'm hoping the ROTB figures have the basic articulation and complexity to satisfy until 2023.

    The primary function of Toy Fair is less fan interaction and more to showcase product to prospective retailers. I very much doubt the retail representatives and purchasers want to be jockeying with YouTube vloggers for their attention. As such, they've been very selective on who gets passes to the event and the companies are genrally fine with that, as they can do PR presentations on their own at other functions or online.

    Things are getting worst again and they are getting worst everyday. I got a feeling Toy Fair will be cancelled in the next month. I think it would be better to see another Fan Fest in Spring.
