You do realize it was a $2.99 toy and was meant to work with Hotwheel/Matchbox sets so it had an axle all the way through. It's not like there was ever meant to be a lot of articulation.
CapnScumbone
These things SUCKED! No articulation whatsoever, and around the same time we had Dreadwing and the smaller tank Megs and Milktrucktimus Prime, who all had great poseability.
Arkvander
Yep, it has always inspired me

Your Ratchet is particularly mint. You totally drew that cross on after.
Karl Hartman
Arkvander: that's our old stuff!
Ras
Love Tomarts! It's what actually got me into collect rarities when I saw the cancelled G2 and later G1 Unicron.
Arkvander
All I remember from Tomart's is this
DoubleClouder
Yeah, I already tried, I have an unpainted one that transforms fine. It's the latch on the hood is almost too snug
Pete Sync
Correct. Just pull out the arms and then apply a little pressure. It'll be fine. Worked ok for mine
Bass X0
the arms come out first then the hood.
Ras
I think I have a Tomarts with Block Town pics in
Dragonclaw
Oh yeah, I miss that in a lot of ways. There were a couple Tomart Japanese Toy Fair issues IIRC that showed us the unreleased Spychangers, Block Town, and another that had black & white pics that have the Cyberjets with armor. It'd be cool to see better pics of that epecially.
Backstop
Love that jeep too bad it was not produced
Malach Ra
I started out with toyfair and lee's. I do miss toyfair.
Karl Hartman
Actually, that picture was in Tomart's Action Figure Digest, in their coverage of the Japanese Toy Fair. I'll see if I can dig that issue up.
I'm gonna sound like an old fart here, but does anyone else remember when we had to wait on Tomart's and Lee's to cover toy fair to see what was coming out? How things have changed.
DoubleClouder
Yeah I remember hearing that, but I don't think we've ever seen the painted one in robot mode, unless I am mistaken. Also I don't think we've ever seen the Jeep painted until now. Could be wrong, hard to remember what was on the internet 18 years ago lol
Pete Sync
The painted pinkish car was shown at a Japanese Toy Fair some 18 years ago. On a mock up card no less…

If some one bid on that auction instead of just dropping 150 for the bin, they are an idiot.

Prices have gone up quite a bit since they were first listed. I believe they were all 150 BIN, even the painted rumble was that much and someone decided to place a bid on it and it ended for 650 iirc
