The Loyal Subjects to relaunch MASK, and other Legacy Hasbro Brands

[Donocropolis]

I'm tempted by the 40th Condor. It was the one toy from the first wave that I decided I didn't really need as I have an original in good shape. But I've been trained since childhood by Transformers that a new color scheme makes it a different "character," and it would be the only 40th toy I would be interested in, so the black/gold would be a unique look.

What I'll probably do is wait to get the Wave 1 toys in-hand first and see how I feel about them. If I'm as impressed as I'm hoping and there are still some 40th Condors left, I may buy one.

YOU were the one who fussed about not knowing about the 40th Anniversary Rhino

Oh, yeah, but that was just overall cursing the present state of my existence. Note I said I couldn't afford it then, either. XD

I'd still absolutely love one, but...

Confirmed Boulder Hill isn't on the slate for 2026, wave 2 will have 4 vehicles with all being classic remakes. No firm plans for Scott and TBob outside of the RHINO set, for now. And...the future remains open. Feels, to me, that TLS is keeping options open, but are basically playing it by ear with these first couple waves. Given the price point (only made worse by recent economic actions), I think TLS is preparing for the worse by not discussing too much about future plans

Most are the usual dodgy answers due to the unknowable future, but they DID give a hint to future Venom members:
"If you can solve this riddle:
I'm a heavy hitting enforcer with muscle or mask, one wields blade and harpoons, the other flame bold and brass. Teasing teammates comes by habit- idleness by design, though destruction is my trade, two faces in the line."
Which basically confirms the Piranha with Sly Rax (who had two releases in the original line, not counting figure packs, one mask which fired harpoons, the other saw blades).

That still leaves one more wave 2 entry to be revealed. I'd love to be surprised by a Shark (to counter the Piranha), but I'm suspecting it will be the Gator.
