You probably see these at Walmart and Target. They are Mini Brands, so smaller versions of products from popular brands. The latest set of bling "balls" is about toys and has many Hasbro properties like My Little Pony, Play D'oh and Transformers. The specific Transformers Mini Brand toy is a miniaturised Cyberverse ultra class Bumblebee in package. These are great for doll houses and the scenes using action figures. Like a shot of Bumblebee purchasing himself at the store.

That's rather cute, probably might get it to just have it as a novelty.

The issue is its blind bag.

I assumed there were going to be codes or something to help figure out which is what, but I also don't mind collecting other teeny versions of toys.
(I could also just probably check eBay or Mercari like I did with the Tiny Titans blind bags, tee hee.)

That is just...I dont know what to think of this.

The question is: is the mini's packaging really look that sharp? The figure really that well painted?

Yes, I bought some before.

william-james88 wrote:Yes, I bought some before.

Nice, I'll buy some when I see them in Walmart... now pretty much the only brick & mortar I go to since GameStop (one recently closed) & TRU are pretty bad in my area.

Might have to buy this just in case I ever get ambitious enough to do a display of tiny video games to recreate the arcade scene in The Immobilizer.

Ok. I'm good now.

This is really cool, but kind of a stupid silly idea

If it's in scale with headmasters Lego minifigures or tiny turbo changers, and costs only a few dollars, I may just buy a few as minicons. I need minicons.

These products are for girls to use with their dolls and dollhouses, nothing stupid about that.

I mean about them being based on larger toys but miniaturized extremely

But how dare you say dollhouses!
I would get them as minicons if they scale right.

That's just the practical use for them. A lot of kids, boys included, just like collecting random small things in blind packaging. Hence Mini Brands' using gender neutral packaging.

How tall are they? I might buy them if they are inexpensive to use as minicons.

Less than an inch if that image is in proper scale. They're called mini for a reason. I'll be surprised if you can actually separate the toy from the package.

And any 3.75" dollhouse can be repurposed as part of Springfield, with the right Cobra figures!

Plus, recreate the thrilling scene in G.I.Joe: Special Missions #5, where Slipstream gives one of his mechanics a TF toy to give to his son in the hospital and tells him it's Jetfire, but it's actually Megatron, as several fans wrote in to correct them. Only now it's mistakenly Bumblebee!

A buddy at work got some of these in and gave me a double of G1 Bumblebee. He's told me that if he gets a duplicate of G1 Starscream, he'll give me that too.

Wait, theese don't transform do they?

Of course not, they're just "props". I don't think they even come out of the packages.

They don't. By the way guys, it's just 1 Bumblebee toy, the other minis you might get are from other brands.

That's what I thought, though what's the figure Big Grim posted above from? It's not the World's Smallest figure.

This isn't a mini tf line, no everything is made for you. Enough with this whiny bitch attitude.

Apparently from the same Mini Brands thing. My buddy Retro got the blind boxes. It appears there have been a few waves. He told me about them last week and this Bumblebee was on my desk this Monday. I'll ask him for more info.

No need to swear
Tiny turbo changers did it just fine
