Facebook page with a fully combined mode image of their Hercules figure. But, the company continues to tease us, as these images are slightly blurred. This is a reveal a long time coming, so expect to see unblurred pictures soon. Keep checking TFW2005 for more updates on one of the hottest figures on collector's minds this year.
While we continue to wait, take a look at the teaser image, drool a little bit and discuss in our mega popular
Hercules Mega Thread!

IGN.com is reporting that the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced 15 films are now in the running for Achievement in Visual Effects for this year's 84th Annual Oscars. Among those fifteen are our favorite Robots In Disguise and their Mega Blockbuster, Transformers Dark Of The Moon. There are some tough competitors in the list including; Rise of The Planet Of The Apes, X-Men: First Class and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, just to name but a few. In early January, the members of the Academy's Visual Effects Branch Executive Committee, who selected the 15 films, will narrow the list to 10.
Think the Autobots and Decepticons can pull off a win? The nominees will be announced live on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
The 84th Academy Awards will air on ABC on February 26, 2012. In the meantime, you can read the full press release by clicking on the title bar and then head over to the 2005 Boards and tell us what you think.

Despite BotCon falling on the
same weekend, the organizers of the Dairycon says the dates for the 2012 convention won’t change.
TFW2005 Boards Member cbff received the following message from the organizers of Dairycon…
"Hello all,
Just a quick update to let you all know that we are standing by our plans for April 27th & 28th! While I know that we may lose some of you to that convention down in Texas (believe us, *every* loss is sad), we are moving on with our plans for this year's Dairycon.
As many of you know, Dairycon has been an event for those who can't afford to make the trip out to the big show, who can't afford their exclusives, to get together with friends who you may not have seen in a year, and to have some Dairy cow-themed fun...
We hope to see you there, but if not; it's all a celebration of the same fandom!"Dairycon 2012 will stay on Friday (April 27) & Saturday (April 28) as
originally planned.

Igear has updated their
Facebook page with an image of their next Mini-Warrior 3rd Party Figure. MW-04 UFO is his name and he will be based on Generation 1
Cosmos. Something very cool to note is that UFO has a space helmet. That is how Transformers artist Guido Guidi depicted him in the recent
Transformers Ongoing comic book in
issue #12. This might be a great alternative to anyone still trying to track down the limited Hasbro release of
Universe Cosmos.
Take a look at the image and sound off on the 2005 Boards!
