Piñatas? Pinball tables? Valentine’s pencils? Bowling pins?!
We all know that Transformers is a successful brand spanning the action figure aisle, video games, cartoons, motion pictures, and comic books. But we also know that it’s always “More Than Meets The Eye,” so it should come as little surprise that there are nigh-countless little oddities that don’t fit into any one category particularly well, except for that of the “tie-in merchandise.”
At a recent TFCon, former Transformers Creative Manager Rik Alvarez took to the stage to show off a slideshow selection of many of these licensed oddities — some produced, some not.
Of course, this is just the beginning of what promises to be a wild, multipart journey through the realm of licensed merchandise, so if you want to follow that journey as it unfolds, be sure to keep your eyes on the official TFCon YouTube Channel.
How many of these do or did you have? Are there any Transformers oddities like these you must add to your collection, no matter the cost? We don’t have a thread for it (as of this writing), but you can always start one over in the Transformers Discussion section of our forums!
