The hype is generating in me now for the new "Transformers" movie coming up in July. Now, I have always been into Transformers ever since they came out in the early 80's. But of course, living an adult life I haven't been into it for some time now. Seeing how much some of the Generation 1 and 2 figures are now.....man I sure wished I was more into them when I was in my teens. An old friend Jerry, had quite a few and I think he even had the original Optimus Prime which goes for an arm and a leg now. We've been getting a few transformers here and there for Johnathon over the past few years, but a few weeks ago I showed him the Animated Transformers movie which came out in the late 80's. Needless to say...he's diggin it. COOL. Now I can get some too. There have been a number of hit miss transformers with each series they produce. But lately they have been making these "Classic" series. They claim to be reminiscent of the Generation 1 figures......but with a catch....they made them look more like they did in the cartoon. Which is pretty cool. And to top it off.....they ensured they have more articulation for extreme posability. So you could put together an armada of Autobots or Decepticons with motion...if you will. An Added benefit, Wal-Mart has an exclusive poster series out of the orginal stuff now...3 total. we got John the first today. Bummer they didn't make cool stuff like this back then.
