ComingSoon was lucky enough to be given a sneak preview of Hasbro's upcoming toy releases for: Spider-Man 3, Transformers, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Ghost Rider movies, as well as new toys to commemorate Star Wars' 30th Anniversary and G.I. Joe's 25th Anniversary.

You can find images of them all here.  I picked my favorite, a shot of Optimus Prime from Transformers, you can find to the left.


KJ's Take:  If you're a toy fan, check it out.  Some of the Star Wars images are pretty cool, though it is a bit odd that some transform ...

KJ, you must not keep up with the action figure world very much??? Star Wars Transformers have been a huge seller for over a year now!

Stop production! Now!

If these are truly a peek into what we will see at their respective movies, someone please call Favreau and stop him. That Iron Man looks horrible.

And is it true the we'll see Rhino in Spidey 3 though armoured(?). What's next Lizard with a strap-on tail.

Nope.

Back in HS I used to be big into comics and would dabel in action figures, but never got into them. I had no clue Star Wars Transformers were a huge seller. Still seems a little odd!

Aside from the ComingSoon site being slow to load images at the moment, the Transformers don't look bad and Bumblebee sort of DOES look like a bumblebee in a way. Transformers are alien robots and I am slowly warming up to their robot appearance.

As to the Star Wars Transformers, they were a huge seller? That's sad. I hated them and didn't buy them at all... in fact, my toy buying days came to a rather abrupt stop... I guess I finally grew up.

The Star Wars SM figurine line looks interesting. I like the poses, but I already have too much star wars stuff to "start" another collection.

And as to the new poseable figurine line for Star Wars, the Bespin Luke looks great but that's the only one that frankly interests me.

>>>That Iron Man looks horrible.

It just looks like a crappy action figure, like most mass-market movie tie-in figures. I'd want to see the actually movie version before I judge it/

actually guys that isn't the Iron Man from the movie. It's Ultimate Iron Man from Hasbros new Marvel Legends line. And if you ask me Hasbro has killed that line of figures. Toy Biz made it one of the best selling lines of action figures around and Hasbro has turned them into cheap looking pieces of crap!
