Events: Botcon 2023 Script Reading Video

Botcon 2023 is in the books and BWTF was there taking a lot of video!  I'll be posting them up on my Youtube Channel over the next few days.  Let's start with the script reading which featured a script written by Simon Furman continuing the Botcon "Bee in the City" story (this is part 3).  Cast members from Beast Wars and Cyberverse worked together to bring this tale to life.  Check it out in the embed below!

Toy News: Takara Tomy Reveals Styrofoam Tray for "Missing Link" Convoy

In the halcyon days of the 80's when Transformers toys were overflowing on toy store shelves, one thing was very common with boxed figures: styrofoam trays.  Unlike modern day figures that either sit in a plastic tray or are tied to cardboard, figures of the 80's would often sit in a specially designed tray that would allow you to take the figure out then put it back into the box for maximum display value.  This practice fell to the wayside decades ago partly out of environmental concerns and even as G1 figures were reissued they would sit in clear plastic trays.
