Bandai America Incorporated's Teen Titans toyline was the surprise hit of 2004, and fans will be thrilled to see the expansion of merchandise and characters planned for 2005. Based on the popular DC Comics characters and airing weekly on Cartoon Network and Kids' WB!, Teen Titans features five teen superheroes, each with special powers and abilities. Led by Robin, this group unites to protect their teeming, sun-baked city from a new generation of villains, while still coping with the challenges of adolescence. When they work together as a team, their powers are formidable. Yet they still struggle with the same challenges every teen has - sibling rivalry, the pressures of school, taking responsibility, jealousy and fitting in with the group.

Bandai is really pushing this line hard this year, with plans to introduce more secondary characters to the line. Updated comments are in red.

1.5" Comic Book Heroes
These sets of 1.5" figures include main characters and villains from the animated series in static poses. Each set includes a variety of different characters, a mini piece and a collectible comic page that forms an EXCLUSIVE comic book and T-Sub or T-Tower when you collect all 3 sets in the series.

3.5" Action Figures
Based on characters from the show, these figures are fully poseable and come with accessories. All figures are also compatible with the vehicles and playsets in the line. 2005 will see the introduction of many popular secondary characters and villains from the show, available for the first time in toy form. These have redesigned packaging. To get the Mas y Menos set, you must buy two different packages

Teen Titans Battling Machines
Each vehicle manually transforms from regular mode to battle mode and can connect with other vehicles to form one massive Titans Battling Machine! Comes with a 3.5" Figure and an accessory that can also be attached to the vehicle.

T-Vehicles
Each vehicle manually transforms from regular mode to battle mode and can connect with each other to form a larger vehicle. Each vehicle can also connect to the T-Sub to form the ultimate T-Machine! Features missile firing action. Turbo Mobile and Cycles come with a 3.5" Figure.

Deluxe T-Vehicles
The deluxe vehicle line expands in 2005 with an array of action packed machines. Joining last year's T-Sub are the T-Booster, which transforms from booster mode to flight mode and connect to the T-Sub for rocket flying action. Also new is the T-Defense Transporter, which transforms from truck mode to battle command mode, complete with a missile launching T-tower. The T-Sub will also be refreshed. With sounds and missile firing action, it is capable of holding the entire Teen Titans team. These were very impressive. Bandai is playing on their strengths by making toys that combine for added play value.

T-Robo
This mega-sized vehicle and playset includes three separate T-Vehicles (the T-Car, T-Cycle and T-Sub), which can all transform and combine to form the Teen Titans newest ally: the Titans T-Robo. Featuring launching action as well as lights and sounds that are activated when the vehicles are combined together, the Titans T-Robo also holds the entire team for quick transport to any mission. Comes with an exclusive 3.5" figure. The T-Robo, to me, is the crown jewel of the line. A white truck forms the legs, the orange sub forms the chest and arms, and the cycle forms the head. Robin can ride on the cycle while in robot mode, so it looks like he is riding on the back of the robot. I'd guess that the robot is about 12" tall.

5" Feature Figures
These 5" figures come with special features as sounds or transforming action.

Arrow-Action Speedy: Includes arrow accessories that can be shot from Speedy's bow. Poseable with 7 points of articulation.
Dive-Action Aqualad: Includes a weapon and dolphin accessory with pull-back feature that the figure can ride on. Poseable with 7 points of articulation.
SD Action Robin: Squeeze legs to reveal a super-deformed Robin figure inside normal Robin figure. Articulated arms.
Snake-Shifting Beast Boy: Manually transforms from normal mode to "snake" mode. Poseable with 12 points of articulation.
Gyro-Spining Cyborg: - Head opens and releases gyro spinner from head by pulling cannon fire zip cord! Articulated arms.
Action Sound Robin: Pressing Robin's cape activates a character phrase. Fully poseable figure comes with weapons and a Teen Titans communicator.
Action Sound Cyborg: Pressing Cyborg's chest activates a character phrase. Fully poseable figure comes with a sonic arm cannon and a Teen Titans communicator.
Cheetah-Shifting Beast Boy: Action poseable figure changes into a "cheetah" to catch bad guys on the run!

6.5" Super-Deformed Pals
Soft action figures of your favorite Teen Titans with humorous expressions in super-deformed mode! Characters include Robin, Cyborg, Speedy, Starfire and others.

Weapon Assortment
Defeat evil villains with your very own Teen Titans weapons! Includes lights, sounds and other functions similar to those featured on the show! Assortment includes Robin's Birdrang, Cyborg's Spy hand and Arm Cannon Blaster. The Birdrang is very reminiscent of Ken's birdrang from Gatchaman.

Action Sets
