Did these finally get reissued or something? I think the Slamdance set/s did. Good, if so.

Took me a long time looking for this (missed out on the first release), and was just about to give up on them entirely when someone I'd had a few dealings with on other stuff messaged me with an offer. Squalk Sqwu Squidward Squawktalk is kind of funny with the "we just drew feathers on these cubes" bit. But these are some of the better designs out of the Dr Wu cassettes, not too ambitious or fiddly.

I haven't heard of reissue so I think it was just old stock they found in a warehouse or something.

Ok, I kinda want that thing now. The Missing Link one is a tough sell, but this might work. Plus, with my luck, as soon as I spend on something like this, Hasbro will up and release a redeco of the Deluxe mold... So everyone can win.

Got this guy in the other day: TW-1036 Maintainence Project Team Leader ( Modified KO 08 Animated Voyager Optimus Prime / DNA Accessories)

Simply put, KO of legacy animated OP but with some alterations, such as the retractable face mask gimmick that the old animated voyager figure had, thou that is about the only thing really carried across from the original toyline, so here's a bunch of shots I taken of this guy:

Got mine about a week ago and he's pretty nice. In addition to the head the torso is pretty heavily reworked. Unfortunately the Upgrade part is missing several paint apps but I had the DNA kit already so I just transferred most of it over, although the shade of blue is noticeably different.

Car mode looks good and transformation is simple. Black rear leg panels are hindered by clearance issues during transformation and there's no leg or arm/shoulder rotation for dynamic posing. Knees are a bit low and don't bend that much. Size seems closer to crossover figs like Knightrider/Ecto-1 and/or with Alternity figures.

DNA designs retooled their Wheelie into a version of Jet Jaguar to coincide with their Godzilla Megatron kit. I didn't buy that Wheelie since it came with Grimlock stuff and I didn't buy Grimlock. How's this guy fare?

Robot mode is based largely off G1 Wheelie, with a new head and colors to represent Jet Jaguar. There's nothing else about the design that evokes Jet Jaguar, so the head and colors are doing some heavy lifting. New head's good, although it's mounted a bit too low giving the impression of no neck. The mouth grill's also kind of huge compared to every version of Jaguar I know. Articulation is okay, with ball joints at the head, shoulder, elbows, hips and feet. The knees are regular hinges. It's posable in theory but the way the feet attach makes something as simple as standing stably difficult. The fists rotate for vehicle mode but don't lock in very well. The shoulder balljoints also pop off really easily.

He comes with a small plastic piece to mount his new accessory, The Spear of Anguirus on his back. Can stay on in both modes and works well. The spear looks good, although unfortunately, Jaguar lacks the articulation to wield the spear two-handed like in Singular Point. Uses a 3mm peg, limiting usage from other toys.

Vehicle mode is kind of garbage. Doesn't look good and the arms have tabs to presumably lock into the sides of the car but they just don't work. The wheels don't even roll!

He's cheap and still managed to disappoint me. Nice colors and a neat homage but honestly, I'd rather eat sushi from a pail.
