A couple tidbits of toy news for those who may not have heard yet:

Masterpiece Dinobot was confirmed at Wonderfest! No details yet, as far as I can find, but considering how fabulous the Masterpiece Primal and Cheetor toys looked, I'm pretty stoked. And I don't even collect the toys, for wont of space to display them. Though I am tempted to get Cheetor just because my sister ott hates him...

Also confirmed at Wonderfest was a prototype this glorious Beast Wars Megatron statue! Nice touch in announcing him at the same expo as MP Dinobot, given that he's got pieces of his traitorous underling littering the ground at his feet. My one complaint is the expression, which doesn't do justice to his personality at all. Hoping they change that for the final product.

So, whaddayou guys think?

I get an email which includes a promotion for whatever exactly that "Pick Your Prime" thing is. I'm all set to ignore it, but I see Optimus Primal among the contenders and I'm like, hey, cool. I'll do this after all. I follow the link to the appropropriate page. I see there are three categories from which to make selections-- Honor, Chaos, Order. Not sure how the Honor category fits in with Chaos and Order, honestly, but whatever. Click on that one first; that's not where Primal is. Surprised, but okay, I can see him being an option in Order. Except guess what?
