For weeks now fans have watched the HasLab campaign for Victory Saber slowly go up after an initial strong start.  For those who were nervous the campaign would not fund, international orders have helped boost the numbers and as of this morning Victory Saber is funded!  At the time of this writing there are now over 11,600 backers and hopefully more will come so we can reach the stretch goals!  If you want to participate in this campaign, head over to HasLab now and throw your hat in the ring.  Let's say GO!

Earlier today Hasbro held a live stream hosted by voice actor and director Christopher Sabat. Amanda Grenato and Evan Brooks from Hasbro were on hand during the stream to talk about the current HasLab Victory Saber project. The stream served to explain the Japanese Transformer television shows to the uninitiated and the team went into an explanation of how the various parts of the characters work with each other to ultimately form Victory Saber. You can view a recording the of the live stream below:

The HasLab Victory Saber project is almost a week old with over 5,300 backers to date!

Rumors have been circulating for months about a Commander Class Rodimus Prime figure, and now thanks to Figsoku on Twitter and Amazon Japan we have our first look at this new take on the "Chosen One" who took on the mantle of leadership after Optimus Prime! Rodimus Prime is priced at ¥ 14,300 (about $131.49) with a release date of August 1, 2021.

Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook has posted a surprise reveal this morning: Kingdom Rodimus Prime! Long rumored to be a Commander Class figure, the price point of JPY 13,000 (about $121.58 USD) seems to indicate it is indeed a Commander Class. The image is a tad fuzzy and not an official Hasbro reveal so take this with a grain of salt for now.
