Ultimate Optimus and Megatron merchandise!
TRANSFORMERS are bigger than ever and CardboardCutout.net, under license from Hasbro Properties Group, will add Generation One Optimus Prime and Megatron to their range of life-size stars.
Due to launch before Christmas, these cardboard cutouts will stand at over six feet high and will feature exclusive artwork by Simon Williams, and coloured by Jason Cardy.
Helen Simm from CardboardCutout.net comments on the range; “When considering the first range to produce as a license-holder, we chose TRANSFORMERS as it has a massively broad appeal fans and collectors, as well as 80s nostalgists � not to mention the new generations discovering the massively popular toy range!”
An official launch of the products is due soon, but CardboardCutout.net were keen to announce they will be unveiling how the cutouts will look at this weekend’s Auto Assembly (4th & 5th June ’05), where you’ll also be able to register your interest.
“The range will be a Limited Edition” says Helen. “If this run goes as well as we anticipate we will be looking to extend the range. Dinobots, anybody?”
CardboardCutout.net is the UK’s only specialists in life-size cardboard cutouts and you can find out more about them at www.cardboardcutout.net.. You can email them for more information, or to have your say, at transformers@cardboardcutout.net.
