    I might be doing something wrong, but all I see is a placeholder with "coming soon".

    I got a few pairs of faction symbol socks, jocks & ties, but if the funky look of other franchises is any indication, I'm interested.

    I guess it's cool, but to be honest, the designs of other franchises in the news post look kinda crap. I'll bet it's the same sort of deal, the usual suspects' heads and upper body stretched along a pair of socks, which isn't that great looking tbh. If it were something like the alt modes of a character alternating with their faction symbol on a pair of socks in a pattern like this, it'd be more interesting.

    So if you want matching socks you’ll need to buy two packs? Can’t say I’m too keen on that business model.

    You can Thing™ responsibly by only buying Thing™ branded things when you would naturally replace the thing you already had. (ONLY own Transformers socks and it won't seem weird when you buy more :D  )

    Ecto-1? Meh. The DeLorean? Pass. GI Joe Megatron? Give me a break.

    Transformers X Sock???? NOW WE'RE TALKING! I grew up with sock! Nostalgia overload! The alt mode (folded sock) looks great too! I think I'll buy two!

    I wonder what characters will be socks? Probably the same ones for everything.

    How have they still avoided a Transformers x Monsterverse crossover using remodeled/retooled Apeface and Snapdragon molds? Slap the Godzilla vs Kong logo on it and sell it as a voyager 2 pack.
    I mean, we've had Canon, Socks, and a random reappearance of the Street Fighter cross.

    This list is probably right, although I would guess 6 characters, so probably add Grimlock to get 6.

    Well now, this certainly presented a conundrum for the Hasbro marketing department, being so heavily reliant on NOUN x NOUN product offerings. Here, their partner literally has the "x" built into their logo. They probably had several large meetings to decide if using "x" twice would be overdoing it.

    Socks that transform into laundry!!!

    When you fold them together, does that constitute as combining?

    I’d be more interested in TFs that turned into socks, like those licensed transforming shoes that Takara made a while back. Who wouldn’t want to watch Socktimus Prime battle against the forces of the evil Megadarn?

    I like the idea of these but looking at some of the other brands they currently offer, I have to say I’m not a fan of the art style.
