Category: 2018- Studio Series
This line focuses on movie accuracy and includes characters from all the movies. Premium paint applications are added to the most movie accurate mold for each character. Sometimes the mold is retooled to make it better, and in some cases, a whole new mold is used. This line uses the three main size classes of Transformers toys (deluxe, voyager and leader) to maintain movie accurate size in relation to each other. Each toy comes in a window box with a cardboard diorama from a scene in the movie when that character was featured. All that is the intent for the line, but other things have crept in. There has been a few recolored figures that did not need to be made twice (Ratchet, Stinger) and one that was never in a movie (orange Lockdown). Also, Hasbro seems to be releasing the basic Bumblebee movie toys in this line, rather than in the Bumblebee movie line, which is getting the gimmicky and young children’s toys. The intent of the Studio Series was good, but many of it’s toys do not follow the original intent. Overall, the series is worth getting, with some exceptions, especially if you have not been getting movie toys because of their poor quality and accuracy.
