NEWS

It is fair to say this is the busiest we’ve been in some time with Transformers reveals up the wazoo! A lot of these reveals are showing figures that will be coming out in the next few months so we may move swiftly between stories as there will be plenty of opportunity to see figures up close as they near release. Remember that if you want to find out more about the stories, you can find links to everything we’re talking about in the show notes.
