ROTF Deluxe action figures - wave 5

ROTF Deluxe action figures - wave 5.

Deluxe Class Wave 5: (SGD 27.90 each)

 Top row (from left) - Dead End & Blaze Master. 

Bottom row (from left) - Jolt; Skids & Mudflap (photo shows only Mudflap in robot mode)

 ——–

Wave 5 of the ROTF Deluxe action figures are expected to be available in our local departmental stores from this week.  Dead End is a repaint of Sideways with a new head!  He looks better in his new colors.  For Blaze Master, hmmm, how is he related to the ROTF movie?  He is said to be a TV Station helicopter seen in the movie but I don’t recall seeing him in it. 

The next 2 are the widely tipped hot favourites that you must supposedly ‘grab fast or regret later’ figures in this wave.  Jolt was hardly prominent in the movie but since he’s part of the ROTF Autobot team, people want him.  The pink and white Ice Cream truck is very highly desired, despite each twin being only about Scout class size.  The hot fuchia pink color of the truck reminds me of the Barbie Doll pink, making it look like a girl’s toy!

The Ice Cream truck and the blues are the clear hot favourites.  So be decisive and grab them when you see them, if they are on your ‘must-have’ ROTF toy list.  If you have chosen to wait it out for a sale or they are figures you have elected to do without in your collection, then please don’t complain if they sell out and you didn’t get them.  You made your choice so stick by it!  It has happened for ROTF Voyager Fallen with so much regrets by various individuals floating in the air.  Till then, happy ROTF toy hunting!

Update: This wave has been spotted in certain leading toy store outlets this mid-week!

    Hi deSMOnd,

    I’m getting Jolt but after seeing Dead End in person, he looks very nice as a car. I saw them at a store this week but haven’t bought them yet. Prefer to wait for my regular toy store to bring them in and get a discount for them :D

    Hi dyeriboy,

    Now the restocks of Jolt’s been peg and shelf warming at many dept stores and toy shops, but the restocks of Ice Cream truck are still very hot here. Must be the hot weather these days, plus it’s ’summer’ time, hence people crave for ice cream! :P

    Hi Jul, do you think that Jolt will get a nicer mould in TF3? Would it be better to wait?

    I’ve seen the ice cream truck being sold at “secondary” toy stores with a mark up of 40-50%. I’m glad I was able to get mine at srp. :)

    Hi Mike,

    This I’m not sure. But for me, I won’t wait till 3 years later to get a new Jolt mold. Perhaps by then I don’t collect these toys anymore, LOL!

    Hi Bany,

    Wow that’s costly for the Ice Cream truck. Good thing you got yours already. They were going for around SGD 35.00 at the recent STGCC 2009. Fortunately the Hasbro cum TRU booth was selling it at normal retail price of SGD 27.90.
