Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Toys have hit the streets and are the most popular toys so far among the summer blockbuster movies. There are so many toys to choose from, parents may become completely confused by the myriad choices. Here is a "Parent's Guide" and some insights to the toy classes or categories that should help.
Hasbro Toys is the originator of the Transformers toy series, that originally began in 1984 with a companion animated television show. Since that time the toys have become legendary and this summer's Revenge of the Fallen is no exception.
The Hasbro Transformers toy series are classified into several different scale categories. Here are some helpful designations:
Leader Class: Currently the largest Autobots (good guys) and Decepticons (bad guys) out there, when they're standing tall in their robot form, they'll be about 12" in height.
Voyager Class: Perhaps the most popular series in the toy line, because they're sturdier and large enough to be very playable. They're approximately 8" in height.
Deluxe Class: Kids love this class, probably because they match the size & scale of your kids other action figures like G.I. Joe, Star Wars and others, and they're very affordable. Approximately 6"
Legends Series: These are the littlest sized guys - 2-3" height - great for carrying in your pocket or for hiding that you're a kid in an adult package.
Other toy manufacturers have joined in the fray as well, creating "Robot Replicas" which are just the robot model and don't "transform" into their vehicle shapes. Fast Action Battlers are another variety, about 6" tall and they do transform. Yet another concept is the "Gravity Bots". These 4 to 5 inch robots look like they've been generated in a high gravity environment, making them short & stout as they transform into their vehicle shapes.Those are the basics for most of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys that are out there.
