Remember When Toys Were Fun? Hasbro’s $575 Unicron Figure Takes Almost an Entire Hour to Transform

A year ago, Hasbro revealed a massive 27-inch tall Unicron figure that, despite an equally gigantic $575 price tag, still managed to find 8,000 backers to help officially put it into production. The figure is impressively detailed, but in a recent blog post sharing the progress on Unicron’s development, it was revealed the figure takes…
