San Diego Comic Con has come and gone; we’ve returned back to homebase and are starting to get back in the flow of things. We’ve done up a gallery for the SDCC 2014 G1 Dinobots box set. This set comes with a pop-up-book style box that turns into a G1 Ark playset. A truly masterful execution I must say. The figures are G1 colored versions of recent Age of Extinction Dinobots, giving you Grimlock, Snarl, Slag, and Swoop in “proper” colors (those are their names, shut up). 🙂
Back when Hasbro sent out some early review copies of the AoE figures, I mentioned that I would probably skip the Dinobots, but would consider grabbing them if they got released in G1 decos. Well, they did, and I did. So good job on that Hasbro, I kept my end of the bargain. 🙂 Upon seeing the set, my first complaint was “WTF no Sludge!” Well, they even addressed that, and made him available in this color scheme, separately through Amazon. So, I can’t say jack. The box/playset is a masterpiece, the figures are properly colored and look solid as a team on a shelf. Mission accomplished.

Hope this helps someone still trying to pick up this set.

That's a joke, right? The G1 dinobots all had chrome, and transparent parts (I think for the most part anyway). I don't remember them being any more pointed then… Just looked cool.

They are all supposed to resemble Medieval Knights, hence the pointed boots and knight helmets.

A friend picked mine up at the con and it arrives today. I will probably find a way to temporarily support the top deck and have fun recreating some G1 Teletran / internal Ark scenes.

I just realized they are all wearing mexican pointy boots… No wonder they are all chromed up they are a tribal dance troupe. A great cultural counterpoint to the knights of unicron.
I can console myself with that if I can't pick up the set… or wait for the inevitable tru platinum g1 set. Great pics. So jelly.

Weren't theses supposed to show up on Hasbrotoyshop at some point? I heard their stock wasn't sold out, so…what's the delay or is this normal?

It wouldn't surprise me if we see the set without the Ark box at TRU eventually

Great photo set of these guys; it will be interesting to see how fast they sell out on HTS.com .
This was a really fine example of concept to execution in my opinion.
Hopefully there are enough left to get into the hands of people who want them.

When I got the Comic Con Dinobots in hand, they look a lot better in their G1 decos than I assumed they would

Nice shots Tony!
Really wish this would have been a retail release That's okay though as the Generations 5-pack has peaked my interest!

The Dinobots look great.
Galaxy Of Rust
I really like this set but with the price as it is, it's a complete RIP-OFF! As nice as the set is there is no way it's worth the prices you guys are paying. Maybe around $100 tops. But anything over $200 has crossed over into the insanity zone. Sorry but seriously G1 is great but not THAT great!

I would buy the display on it's own, made out of paper like it is here, for $40 in stores if they sold it. Or more if they upgraded the panels to rigid plastic.

he does with his g1 fiures with grimlock he doesn't have g1 grimlock

The AOE look great with their G1 decos and the Ark paper playset but the chrome….eww.
I think the chrome actually caused this become more expensive than it needed to be.
Still These are some nice pics.

Pointless chrome and transparent parts.
Bunch of idiots running the decos

Great pics! I should have my set by this weekend. The G1 colored Slog should really make this set even more awesome.

Great photoshoot.
Thanks for sharing.
