Impossible Toys have expanded their range from the Quintesson Toys they released in 2007, this time with some more G1 favourite characters that never received toys: Nightbird and the Quintesson Bailiff.

Nightbird



Price: $45.95 Each
Another great custom from Impossible Toys! Nightbird was the female ninja robot created by Mr. Fujiyama and enlisted by the Decepticons to steal the world energy source chip from Teletran 1. She was also the first female robot character to make an appearance in the G1 TV series! Never before seen, this custom figure is a great addition to your G1 collection!

Quintesson Bailiff



Price: $45.95 Each
Next up in line from Impossible Toys - Quint-05 - Quintesson Bailiff! Building on the popularity of the Quint-01 figure, a high attention to detail is paid on each of these custom figures. Picture is to come, actual figure will come in collectible display box and be of the same high quality material the Quint-01 Figure was made of.

Both figures come fully assembled and painted. Figures are available for pre-order now with shipping to start in Late February/Early March 2008.

For more information check out the pre-order pages for both Nightbird and Quintesson Bailiff.

Simon Furman has been busy over the New Year period, again updating his blog, revealing many little tidbits of information on what we already knew to be coming up in the year 2008.

First off from me, a trio of Spotlights: Blaster, Arcee and Grimlock. All feed into the main ‘ongoing’ storyline to greater or lesser extents, with all three characters having scores to settle or something to prove (or both). Arcee is perhaps the most pivotal, but Blaster has definite repercussions, as does Grimlock, which in and of itself leads into one of my main IDW/TF projects for 08.

Furman also hints at which direction the upcoming main books will be travelling:

And, of course, there’s Revelation itself, the fourth (fifth including Stormbringer) arc in the IDW/TF-verse, as the Dead Universe storyline that’s been bubbling under for a while now explodes into (un)life!

Add to that a hint of the upcoming summer story:

There’s also a series that goes back to a time before anything we’ve seen so far in the new IDW/TF-verse, one that will underpin the entire Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation/Revelation continuity.

and finally add to all the IDW Transformers work; Titan UK Transformers stories alongside other works such as Torchwood, Dr Who and TMNT stories and you have one busy writer.
