Hasbro Toy Fair 2012 Panel Coverage!

As the site pushes its way towards its 10th Anniversary, we welcome another first here at TFU.INFO; our first invitation to Hasbro Fan Media Panel Event in New York City. The event was spectacular and we came back with lots of photos of upcoming Transformers, G.I. Joe and Marvel figures. Check out our album for all the images!

Additionally, we have the first update of the year for the archive. Granted, it is not our usual huge update, but some great additions!

So enjoy the update, and big thanks go out to Brent Bass who sent in most of the images in the archive update this month.

Final Update of 2011!

With another year fast coming to a close, I decided to fire up one final update for 2011. As always, new stuff from the most recent lines like Dark of the Moon and Prime have been added; as well as a few touch ups to some classic pages!

Additionally, we have added some new Tonka Gobots content. So give that archive some love!

Lastly, I want to thank our contributors for this update; Martyn De Weert and Mattieu Lowagie; who's picture submissions have been invaluable in improving this archive.

See you in 2012!

November Update!

Finally! Yes, finally I was able to get the remainder of Reveal the Shield added to the archive. In addition, you will find we've added Kre-O to the site and finished out the run of Power Core Combiners. And Transformers: Prime joins the site courtesy of a few Comic Con exclusives!

And if you like the update, please show your appreciation by sponsoring a page on the site. Page sponsorships cost as little as $1 for the year and help keep this site running. Moreover, it allows you to put your own special mark on your favorite figure's page!

Big thanks go out to Brent Bass and Jeremy Powers! Both gentlemen provided a number of images for this update! So take a look to the right and click around and most of all, enjoy!
