A giant list of upcoming Funko pop figures reveals that some will be Transformers including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Jazz and Soundwave. There will also be Funko Keychains featuring Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus Prime.
This would not be the first time we get Transformers themed Funko Pops since there have been a few released for the movie line. However, if these are G1 based, then that would be something new. This info was found on "The voice of reason" Facebook page.
Below are examples of the previously released movie figures along with the long list of upcoming figures.

Absolutely. I'm so glad I am very limited. I own 2 as of today, (The Original Ultraman #764 which was a B&N Exclusive, and the Original Voltron #70). I would like to get the first Godzilla release (not any of its variants), but I am waiting to find one at a reasonable price.
I've seen the Target Exclusive Bumblebee a few times, but all I want is the standard Original Optimus Prime. Then I'll have my Mt Rushmore of 4 total.
There's also the issue of Chinese knockoffs which makes finding genuine older ones quite difficult when looking online.

Doesn't surprise me, I don't know if they're different in Canada, but these days almost a third of B&N is toys and games.
On the other hand, what the heck is Box Lunch, never heard of that store? Looks to be a more colorful, upbeat Hot Topic. Also surprised to see Newbury Comics got exclusives since it's a regional chain here in New England. I had no idea FYE was still around, the only one in Maine closed a long time ago.

I was tempted to sell the few Motu ones I have due to lack of being able to get hold of more of them, but having a Stinkor that stinks is something I couldn't be with out. Some funkos work well, others are abominations.

Not really interested in the TFs though.

From the photos, I took a picture of both sides of the cassettes and with at least one cassette in his chest.
He was listed at $34.99.
Enjoy,

Now, among the 360000 NFTs, there are around 9,596 which come with a token you can use to redeem an exclusive Funko Pop toy. The exclusives are below. So, just to be clear, buying a set of these NFTs means you only get a chance at getting a physical Funko Pop toy, over 90% of purchases will result in just NFTs. This is like those sports cars packs where you have a chance at there being a special rare card (like on that is autographed or has a piece of a game worn jersey) inside. But at least with the card example, you still get cards regardless. Here, you have less than a 10% chance at owning something physical.
And yes, I wrote the same thing twice in different ways, I just want it to be clear.

This part confuses me. When I add up the number of each physical figure they only come to 9,596.
Grail Optimus Prime - 999 .28% chance
Legendary Devastator - 1,550 1.72% chance
Legendary Hot Rod - 1,550 1.72% chance
Legendary Rumble - 1,550 1.72% chance
Legendary Sideswipe - 1,550 1.72% chance
Royalty Freddy Funko as Bumblebee - 2,397
So where are they getting 30K from?

NFT's are a predatory scam, and forcing people to buy NFT's for a CHANCE at getting an actual item is a predatory scam on steroids. This crap can DIAF.

It's my math error. I added up the percentages and then did cross multiplication with the total of single NFTs when instead I should have done it with the number of sets.

This right here, amongst other reasons NFTs are a total scam and trash

It's not their fault. They're just trying to capitalise on the latest "big thing".
Unfortunately, unlike fidget spinners, this won't be going away any time soon and we can expect more of this crap.

Seeing this promotion with all of the crazy hoops you have to jump through and the idea of these Funko Pops being super insanely expensive on the aftermarket due to this unfortunate promotion makes me just want to sell all of my Funko Pop Transformers.
Oddly, I feel a bit like a hypocrite saying that though since this reminds me of the BotCon 2007 ordeal. Most of the figures that created the uproar from that Botcon's exclusives eventually became available at retail or other attainable venues so maybe time will tell with these Funkos like Devastator, Sideswipe and Hot Rod.

Yes, I think we will get some variation on these at retail. I wouldn't throw away the funkos just yet.

This and Botcon 07 are apples and oranges. Imagine if you paid Fun Pub for a lottery ticket that had a slim chance of being a winner, and only winners got one random toy out of the boxed set. That's more or less what you get here.Seibertron wrote:Oddly, I feel a bit like a hypocrite saying that though since this reminds me of the BotCon 2007 ordeal.

Same with NFTs; they're an obvious pyramid scheme and their buyers reek of desperation. Add the environmental damage these things do and the art theft rampant within their markets and the whole thing is disgusting.
So this is just artificial value compounded on artificial value, and it's so, so gross.

This is a terrifying possibility. I thought the days of extremely-hard-to-get figures were behind us, not about to get worse. Hopefully the universal negative reaction to this will give a hint to Hasbro
Posted by SpaceEagle on March 8th, 2022 @ 2:24pm CST
I miss those gold-plated Lucky Draw figures of the past, at least those made a lot more sense to win in a lottery than having to go through NFT loops for the same thing.

Depends on whether or not that exclusive NFT Megazord was a success.

Frankly, I don't agree with this notion. I think Hasbro has plenty of other avenues of revenue to explore, especially considering how there's been controversy surrounding NFTs for a while now. Personally, since the concept of the NFT puts a bad taste in my mouth, this has me thinking more skeptically about this company's priorities.
On the other hand, I'm not at all interested in collecting Funko figures, so this was never meant for me in the first place.

I have managed to get some good ROI (on some of them) through Ebay. But most of the time, you'll barely break even when selling (if you're lucky). Only a rare few wheelers and dealers manage to make flipping them a profitable venture.
Posted by MaximalNui on March 8th, 2022 @ 6:05pm CST
And Transformers Slag Podcast is right, some of the characters and scales they chose make no sense. Why is Devastator, a combiner known for its massive size, a regular Funko instead of Jumbo-sized? And who wants a Freddy Funko dressed as Bumblebee over actual Bumblebee or Goldbug?

Hopefully not, given the general reaction to the announcement. Then again, vocal minority and all that.

It sold out fast, so I assume that means they think it's a great idea
