PRODUCTS: While desperately searching for the new Spychangers, I came across the new G.I.Joes (in Mt Pleasant & Alma, Michigan) that aren't suppose to be out until sometime in February. I was able to find all of them except the Cobra/Duke 2-pack. The Joes do have their bio cards (aka tech specs to Transfans). I must say I was pretty impressed with all of the figures and hope this is a sign of things to come for the Transformers. Yo Joe!

COMICS: According to www.americandreamcomics.com, the large 2002 Transformers figures that come with a "trading card" of sorts will be the new tech spec similar in format to that of the cards that come with Transformers figures made by Takara. The artwork will be drawn by DreamWave Productions. Check out the latest teaser pic (which was doubled in size for easier viewing) of the 2nd part of the gatefold Decepticon cover for the all-new Transformers #1.

PRODUCTS/MEDIA: Masters Of The Universe 2002 NOT going to have mini-comics with their products but Transformers 2002 will???? Thanks to DreamWave and their relationship so far with Hasbro, the 2002 Transformers figures are "reported" to have a mini-comic with their packaging (much like the original and reissue Masters Of The Universe figures) and the larger figures will come packaged with trading cards, similar to that of the Japanese Transformers figures. Check out one of the DreamWave "Transformers:G1" covers here!!!
