NY TFcon 2015 is off to a great start. Last night was a huge even of reveals that have yet to come across our screens. Hasbro did slowly start to introduce the idea of the upcoming “Titan Wars” during the last major reveal event. To continue in that momentum we are going into 2016 with Combiner Wars and will start to make the transition into Titan Wars. Which also happens to be similar in the Head Masters, and every other manner of talk.

What am I excited about? Well I honestly don’t care about swapping heads and blah blah blah… But what I do like about this is yet again it creates a opportunity for 3rd Party add ons. Don’t like that head? Sure heres a new one… Don’t like this part? Sure lets fix that.

Most of all Leader Class Blaster. It would seem like Hasbro and Takara are really filling in the blanks with the toy lines that many 3rd Party have been. This is good news for collectors on a budget. Price point is over half to 1/3rd the price in many cases.

Overall the criticism seems to be mixed again on these. My general thought you don’t like the “Head Masters” / “Titan Masters” idea glue the head in place… These toys still have great overall value that really will hurt the 3rd Party Market, and making that Market place work harder and focus in on Adults, and even possibly switching focus to try and hit the younger audience (lower your prices…)

No more talking… Here is some of the Official Pictures. (Some great improvement on the 3D Renders here…)

A recent leakage / release has noted several REALLY interesting rumors. We can count that our wallets this year are going to see a very light feeling in our pockets…

Generations Devastator on display with my Gen1 Devastator – BigW already signed up for June/July.

More JP Masterpiece coming this year – Gold bumblebee July, Convoy reissue, Tracks (not MP25), MP25 in Sept (I can’t reveal name before TakaraTomy), and two new “sports cars” for OCT & NOV.

Platinum edition – Myer will have Seeker pack and YOTG pair… while ToysRUs will have Insecticon pack, Perceptor/Blaster, Trypticon, aaaaand…. Dinobots. YES, Gen1 Dinobots multipack which I hope is all five.

JP Stinger still for this month, only at TRU though.

GEN Slingshot & Wildrider don’t exist (yet) for Hasbro Generations, but might next year as Combiners are going to be at least two years.

Leader Starscream for wave 4.

Hasbro MP Starscream is the second (MP11) version because fans wanted it.
Hasbro MP Bluestreak will be in July.

Toyworld’s cheaper prices were indeed just introductory prices from Hasbro.

Loyal Subjects w3 should be out in the next month.

An important note this is Australia in the United States or other Countries may not see the same releases. We do know that Devastator (Fall) & MP Starscream are definitely slated. Leader Starscream DOES make sense because we are getting a Thundercracker (Jetfire re-used mold.) Platinum Edition Seekers does seem interesting as the seekers..

G1 reissues here have been an ever common thing for Hasbro and Takara to do.  It would not surprise me to see Trypticon and (Insecticons as these are already out and about.)

It is pretty clear Trypticon, Insecticons are definitely getting a reissue. Dinobots is a big surprise here. I know I have been waiting personally for this, as most G1 Dinobots can go for $20-$80 a piece. (Lots being around $250+) (condition is a and all accessories adds to the price greatly!)

Let the excitement begin!
