Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

[Sabrblade]

For me, the head calls back to the very first Marvel UK story ever written by Simon Furman, "The Enemy Within!", which has a very "early years" feel for a TF story that also somehow gives it a very timeless feel, and Brawn was right there at the heart of it, drawn to the specifications of the original toy since Marvel UK didn't yet have the final character models to go off of at the time of the story's production.

Brawn was my very first transformer. I have a huge nostalgia thing for him and his original toy. This just does so damn much. I'll get like 5 of them.

It’s funny, Brawn very clearly sticks out when compared to the other two. And yet he also fits in too.

I still want a silver crest/red head comic Ratchet one day. And for Hasbro to give…

RATCHETRON!

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Never had Brawn.

But I damn sure had Outback!

 

[GodSentinelOmega]

We will (hopefully) get to him eventually.

 

[Agent X]

Hopefully Gears won't still be languishing on pegs when Swerve arrives.

 

[GodSentinelOmega]

Fair Point.

My Only complaint is the hands are still normal hands but the green is beautiful.

Seaspray orders are live on walmart.com. Just got my order in. Now to see when they get around to cancelling it.

Checked at 10:05 Seaspray was sold out everywhere (Walmart and Pulse) . Eh I can be patient.

-ZacWilliam, Cosmos has given me comfort that he will be detached eventually

I probably missed this discussion but is this Seaspray a remold of the Titans Return version?

No. all new Deluxe sized mold

ZacWilliam, Hasbro seems determined to do all the mini bits at Deluxe

Damn....I knew I should have grabbed the pre-order while I could...

 

[Steadfast]

Once and again, side-by-sides of the older toy and the new one would be very interesting and useful. (In-hand is obviously better so you can see size differences better, but even switching between two images is helpful.)

 

[lightsyder]

Seaspray is up on Hasbro Pulse now!

 

[ZacWilliam1]

got him

-ZacWilliam, yay

 

[GodSentinelOmega]

Seaspray and Brawn are up on Pulse uk. Though I think somebody might have muddled Seasprays listing. Since he’s both classed as ‘add to basket’ so he;s in stock. Yet listed as a preorder. Confusing.

schrodinger's seaspray

Indeed. His quantum waveform has not yet been observed.
