Proto, man, you won't believe this:

Girls LOVE Transformers!

I'm serious! Since I began collecting old school 1984 Transformers in around February, I've had two girls round to my house and in both cases they instantly notice them on the shelf and get really interested! So a merry time can be had explaining about the good guys and the bad guys, who transforms into what, then letting them have a go themselves. Putting the tapes into Soundwave's tape compartment goes down especially well!

My theory is basically, girls have shit for toys. So when the nostalgia gene kicks in, they have to steal our retro goodness which was much cooler than anything Mattel had to offer girls in the 80s.

So the moral of the story? Transformers will help you get GIRLS!!! (Just don't take it too seriously, mind!!)
