Transformers Figures: A Quick Look at Their Storied History

February 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Transformers figures are wildly collectible toys due to their excellent story lines, storied past, and simple coolness factor. While today’s toys are impressive with their intricate transformations and gadgetry, the clunkier and larger toys of the eighties are exceptionally desirable, partially thanks to their varied past.

In the seventies, Japanese toy company Takara created the popular Microman and Diaclone toy lines, which featured toys that transformed into electronics devices, robots, and vehicles. Hasbro was already licensing the Takara technology for the G.I. Joe toy line and carried on this partnership to develop the Transformers figures toy line, while simultaneously buying the Diaclone line outright.
