Toy Fair US 2015 Coverage - The Loyal Subjects Transformers

just so gosh darn cute

One of the key 1984 characters is a 1 out of 96 chase figure. Another is 1 out of 48.

I'm not buying damn master cases and selling them. That's work. I really, really don't like this business model when the chase figures aren't things like the Sunstorms and variants of other characters like they were in the past. Not that I'm uber completionist on these, quite the contrary, I only get a handful of them on impulse and the characters that I like. Were they not blind boxed/chase figure BS land residents, then maybe that'd be different. They also cost too much.

Basically, this weekend I learned that the vinyl figure collecting thing which has overlapped with Transformers on these and Hikari or whatever is just not a scene I enjoy in the slightest.

Though, I will still buy that Wheeljack because it's cool.

I'll wait till I see one of these in person. I'm still not convinced they've fixed the ridiculous balls joints.

Is there a catch-all discussion thread for Loyal Subjects Transformers figures or is this the main one?

I caught a glimpse of these Loyal Subjects vinyl Transformers figures at the impressive Seattle Emerald City Comic Con Bluefin Distribution booth this weekend and it was love at first sight! They look great displayed alongside larger official Transformers toys. I can't wait to start collecting more of them!

I had no idea they carried Transformers. Usually when I go to their booth, I mostly see mecha from other franchises like Gundum

They had a bunch of boxed exclusive sets. The place was packed!

That's incredible. TLS figures are fun as hell.

Thanks to The Loyal Subjects via Facebook, we get a first look at their San Diego Com-Con 2015 Exclusive transparent black Mirage! Check out the image we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

Via the official The Loyal Subjects website, we have a reveal of the upcoming San Diego Comic Con exclusive vinyl figure offered by the licensed company - and it's a double hit by the looks of it! Check out below the official image for Soundwave's cassette companion Buzzsaw, and a translucent edition of Frenzy in the same pack.

Don't miss Thursday at SDCC! We're bringing heat again! [...]

Following up with an uppercut! Les Schettkoe will be on hands signing at 1p. You guys were asking about Buzzsaw? We're bringing Buzzsaw! The yellow beak edition with his pal Frenzy (in translucent clear). BOOM! 2 pak explosion! Window box. Be there or be square!

Ah, so that's where Buzzsaw ended up. At least until they nerf future case assortments by randomly including them

The Loyal Subject have really upped their game since series one.

I randomly picked up a series two last week end (got Slag), and was really impressed with not only the new articulation but also the amount of accessories he came with.

Makes me want to track down a few more. I'm loving the look of the Lazerbeak/Buzzsaw mold.

Following their reveal of their Buzzsaw and Frenzy Comic Con exclusive a few days ago ,which you can read about here. The Loyal Subjects just revealed their Yellow Constructicons SDCC 2015 Exclusive! Check it out below!

From The Loyal Subject:

Les Schettkoe is back at the podium again at 1p. This is super heat on all levels. The famous Construction "Yellow" Constructicon set in all it's glory! A three pak including Bonecrusher, Longhaul and our Devastating pal Scrapper. Scrapper comes with three sound bites, including the Transformers Theme Song! This three pak is windowbox and only 500 avail for those brave enough to dance with 2/3rds of Devastator.
Stay tuned for the Three o'Clock and 5 o'Clock Friday July 10th drops coming tomorrow!

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

Not surprising based on the grammar in the rest of their release, but this Scott Steiner math that they're running works out to Devastator being comprised of 4.5 robots.

This is kind of a slap in the face to those who wanted a G2 Titan Devastator from SDCC....

Titan Devastator is a slap in the face to those who wanted a decent Devastator so I guess we've come full circle.

Double post.

How do you figure? This is just a dude with a license repainting some figures he's already got out in green anyway. Hasbro does nothing but put a rubber stamp on it, if even that. May have carte blanche outside of character selection for all we know.

I didn't mean to imply this was anything other than a coincidence. But think about it:

After the reveals from Hasbro panel at Botcon today, they gave us a preview of The Loyal Subjects Transformers Vinyls Devastator! The green (sometimes yellow) behemoth has gotten a lot of love lately, even quite recently - also from Loyal Subjects by bringing us some G2 Constructicons at SDCC. See the preview below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

I have a general rule that I don't add Transformers to the collection that don't transform, but dammit, I love The Loyal Subjects. Looks like I'll have a couple new Devastators this year!

That Devastator is at least a five inch height one, right?

The Loyal Subjects will be giving out a Loyal Subjects Transformers Action Vinyls Checklist Poster for everyone that is picking up an exclusive from them during San Diago Comic Con! The Poster features every single release from The Loyal Subjects for their Transformers Action Vinyls line from 2013-2015!

Bluefin says they're offering the Loyal Subjects stuff including a Transformers "Construction set" which I assume is an autocorrect of Constructicon. Bluefin has multiple booths for some reason, but it seems #5050 is the one specifically for the Loyal Subjects.

Who's that purple guy between Smokescreen and Prowl? I can't make out what it says underneath.

FTFY

The last we really heard from Loyal Subjects was all the way back in June, with the SDCC 2015 poster of their waves (upcoming and gone). Fellow Seibertronian xRotorstormx now gives us a sighting of the latter end of wave 3, which includes orange G2 Constructicons, Red Mirage, White Sunstreaker, Marlboor Wheeljack and Blue Swoop from the Hot Topic in Jackson, Michigan, as announced in late November by the company itself on Twitter. If you're still in the market for these, now is the time to head out there it seems! Happy hunting.

The final wrap-up post from the New York Toy Fair 2016 comes from the Loyal Subjects booth in the Javits Center, featuring not only the already well-known vinyl figures for the Transforemrs, but also a handful of other franchises, such as My Little Pony, G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, Power Rangers, and TMNT. The full gallery can be found here, or by clicking on any of the images below!
