China’s Growing Army of DIY Transformers
GBTime.com has a piece about the surge of Do It Yourself Transformers in China. Several articles highlight just how big of a cultural impact Transformers has had in China. It seems that giant TF replicas are popping up all of the country.
Amazing TRANSFORMERS Pop-Up Book
And finally from Gizmodo Toyland, we have a look at an truly amazing Trasformers Pop-up book. We’re big fans of all things nerdy, and all things TF, and this covers all the bases.
Matthew Reinhart and Emiliano Santalucia have created what is easily the most impressively engineered pop-up book you’ll ever see. Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the iconic Transformers toy line, it not only features pop-up paper versions of Autobots and Decepticons, but many of them also completely transform.
Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe is currently available on Amazon for just $25, which is an absolute steal as far as we’re concerned. Why couldn’t titles like this exist when we were all back in grade school writing book reports? Optimus Prime is far less whiny than The Catcher in the Rye’s Holden Caulfield.
Comics
Just the one book this week, but it’s a big one. Not really our cup o’ tea, but fun nonetheless.
