Today has revealed their new upcoming line of miniature transforming figures called BotBots. Botbots are in the Transformers line of products and will blind bagged. Check out the official synopsis of the series below.
Not long ago and somewhere close by, a glowing mist filled with TRANSFORMERS energy called ENERGON came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The things inside came to life as little TRANSFORMERS robots! These bots can hide in plain sight as everyday objects, meaning no one knows what’s a bot and what’s not! Mischievous, funny, and super silly, these are… BOTBOTS! Hidden inside each TRANSFORMERS BOTBOTS blind bag is a little mystery figure with a big personality! Collectable BOTBOTS figures are around 1-inch tall and change from totally normal stuff to little robots in 3 to 5 easy steps. Each blind bag randomly includes 1 of 24 available characters. BOTBOTS Series 1 features 61 characters across 3 assortments: blind bag assortment, 5-pack assortment, and 8-pack assortment. (Each sold separately. Subject to availability). Available at select retailers and on HasbroToyShop.com.
Here are the assortments of figures:
Okay, so when i first saw images of these i thought to myself, “there is no way i am jumping on a series of mini Transformers”. Then i started to look closer and thought about my kids. They dig this miniature stuff. They gravitate more towards my Titan Masters and the Fall of Cybertron data disks more than any other of my Transformers. The simple transformations are easier, so they won’t get frustrated with the figures.
These are all quite neat! Kids will love them and for adults they will look cool on a display or carded. With prices starting as low as $2.99 for the blind bag and $14.99 for the 8-pack, these will make great stocking stuffers. Look for these to start hitting the pegs this winter.
