Mickey Transformers

Say hello to Mecha-Mouse!

Going on sale next month in Japan are a pair of Mickey Mouse Transformers toys. One in shimmering black and white (Steampunk Willie?), the other in glorious multiplane Techincolor. No word yet on a Pluto-bot, Goofytron or Decepta-Duck.

More cool pictures of robo-Mickey below and here.

(Thanks, Ed Austin)

    Fantastic. I love the look of these. This is a stroke of genius. In fact, every cartoon license should look at doing Transformers.

    Reminds me of those battle robot comics stories that Don Markstein wrote and appeared in Gemstone’s Disney comic books line.

    One hopes there’ll be no “Silly Symphonies Unleashed” tv series from this.

    Trademark infringement? Is this a Disney-authorized product?

    Nina Paley, are you kidding?
    haha

    Of course this is official, Tomy makes Transformers for Japan.
    They’ve been licensing for Hasbro and Disney for a while now.
