And so the great cataloguing of my extensive collection continues,
Hasbro went all out when the Transformers reached it’s 30th anniversary of the franchise. By this time Transformers popularity was at an all-time high, with successful movies, cartoons, toylines, video games and comics aplenty – enough to appease even the most die hard fan.
To celebrate this success, Hasbro launches the Thrilling 30 collection. This consisted of a main toyline that, while primarily made up of new versions of G1 characters, also contained characters from other cartoons/toylines such as G2, Beast Wars & Beast Machines, RID01, Armada, TFPrime and even incorporated the Movieverse. Many of the Deluxe figures came with IDW comics, printed with special collectors edition covers of the characters. It also brought out a line of tiny collectable figurines, and a line of special toys that were numbered from 1 to 30, incorporating convention exclusives, Masterpiece figures the fan-designed Windblade.
Thrilling 30 also saw the introduction of the Titan-class with Metroplex, the biggest figure since G1 Fortress Maximus.
Not included in this cataloging:
Figures from Transformers Prime and from the Masterpiece lines that are Thrilling 30 are cataloged elsewhere. As are the associated comics.
