FigPin Transformers MYSTERY MINIS leak?

[Agent X]

While seeking any new information on the 40th Anniversary XL figpins announced months ago, I came across this lone result from a UK games site:

Transformers: 40th Anniversary (Series 1) - FiGPiN: Mystery Minis - Si | Wayland Games

Pick up the Transformers: 40th Anniversary (Series 1) - FiGPiN: Mystery Minis - Single Booster from FiGPiN. Many more products available!

www.waylandgames.co.uk

With no release date for the pins they actually announced, I have my doubts this is legit. Unless the package is a mock-up, it looks pretty fake. Then there also not a case of them available, only singles (other minis are available in a case). Primus forbid I actually break news.

Not earth-shattering news, but I do like pins. Transformers pins even more so. Because shiny.



EDIT (18/11/24) FigPin revealed/released the pin series for sale om their site.

I don't know what any of the nouns here actually mean.

It's a curse not unlike that of Cassandra from the Greek fables. You are always able to break news on previously unannounced merchandise, but it's always merchandise that the fandom at large doesn't give two craps about.

Actually, this is still worth a news post. I'll get one put up and give our good friend @Agent X some credit for bringing it to our attention.

Despite my ribbing, it actually is a good find. I'm not a pin person, but the design of these is pretty neat, the framing of characters to suggest the Autobot or Decepticon symbols.

I love that they used the Sunbow art (or at least inspired by). This is the way my brain sees these iconic characters when I think about them. If this wasn't a blind pack setup, I might consider picking some up. I just don't like blind packs. I want to know what I'm buying.
