I feel like there's a meme involving Beachcomber that should go here...
I might grab a Wheelie. Still using the Takara deco of the Titans Return mold and he’a looking super tiny. I’d paint the face or at least the eyes though.
I would never ever paint the face or eyes. This is beautiful.
About $36 per.
Which is why I need y'all to talk me out of getting Outback!
Character libel is not allowed!
Go!
Wheelie, I'm torn on. I had the original toy as a kid, but these eyes... these eyes haunt me.

You should get Outback.
Yeah, I didn't think I'd have a toy/cartoon preference either way for Wheelie, but most of my exposure to the character IS the Movie and season 3. And the way they did the eyes, especially in this deco, does that face no favors. (I kinda felt the same "I can buy either one" with Seaspray, but now I can't unsee that dead, empty visor. The TR one at least had a narrower one that was less unintentionally-creeoy.)
So I may wait for this to be redone?
Then again, it's so hard to really tell what this brand's going to do with these releases. Sure, reusing tooling, especially brand new tooling like this, seems like such a no-brainer ordinarily. But especially with exclusive initial releases, and having to find a window amidst their flood of everything else, it's not as predictable as one might hope.
