Inspired by Darren Rawlins, Our Favourite Retro Cars Transformed!
Howdy TruffleShufflers! This week we found a cracking little Tumblr page from the very talented Darren Rawlins. Heâs done a series of cartoons that takes the cars from some iconic retro shows and imagines what theyâd look like as TRANSFORMERS!
Have a look at his work here.... darrenrawlings.tumblr.com whilst we run down our Top 5 Transformers from Retro Shows Inspired by Darren Rawlins!
.
1) First up, itâs a TruffleShuffle favourite, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesâ Party Wagon! Built by Donatello, this awesome van came with all kinds of handy accessories, including missiles, breakaway doors, a radio broadcaster and parts of it could even be used as a ramp to get the Turtles out of trouble! We think the Transformer version would be pretty badass, especially if it had a few karate lessons from Splinter!
2) In a close second, we just had to pick the Batmobile. Itâs been through dozens of crazy incarnations and hosted a vast array of mental weaponry but Darren has opted for the red-detailed one from the 60s TV show and Tim Burtonâs sleek 1989 entry. Now, the TV show Batmobile displayed more gadgets than you can shake a batarang at in its 2 year run on our screens, but Burtonâs incarnation famously included grappling hooks to scale walls, a bulletproof finish and one stonking great afterburner at the back. That makes for one pretty terrifying Transformer if you ask us, letâs hope heâs not a Decepticon...

Little Miss 'Looking P(lush)' xoxo
From their birth in 1971, the Mr. Men and Little Misses have gone from strength to strength. They have completely stolen the show as far as children's books are concerned.
We already pay homage through our AWESOME selection of Little Miss t-shirts and Mr Men t-shirts, but we just couldn't resist adding some amazing Little Miss plush toys! If you're a chatterbox or a Little Miss Sunshine, A Mr Happy or a gym buff like Mr Strong, there's something for everyone in our full range.
A delightful beanie plush toy from the premium brand, Ty complete with a shiny, golden crown, this Little Miss Princess will definitely reign supreme in any toy collection!
If this sounds all too familiar, you may know of someone who would suit this cheeky little plush from the premium brand, Ty down to the ground!

Truly outrageous news.... There's a Jem And The Holograms movie on the way! #jemthemovie
All of glitter and gold filled dreams just came true!
We'd been given a nod by our friends at Hasbro that some BIG Jem news was on the way and here it is....
Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon M. Chu and Paranormal Activity producer Jason Blum announced via YouTube that they're working on modern day, live action reinvention of the 1980s Hasbro classic....
For the film, the trio are aiming to crowd-source crucial elements from casting to costume design. 'It's sort of like Kickstarter,' says Mr Chu, 'but instead of asking for your money, we're asking for your creativity.'
Fans can upload videos and photos to YouTube or Tumblr explaining what they love best about the original Jem with the hashtag #JemTheMovie.
PLUS They're put out an open casting call, asking people who can sing, dance and act to upload a two-minute video showcasing their talents for a chance to be involved.
