    :thumb  Cool defend and protect your investment if you have the set.

    I'm not much of a Masterforce fan. But there are a few characters from Masterforce, Victory and a few other lines that I wouldn't mind still adding to my G1 collection to broaden it beyond Sunbow's Season 4.

    So I just think it would be in Hasbro's best interest to keep more collectors like me in mind when releasing the characters in question. Lowering the price on these Seacon's would likely broaden more peoples interest IMO.

    I was actually both. I was able to preorder limbs 4-5. But Turtler and the 2nd one caused some difficultly in obtaining my order via TFsource. Which didn't really alleviate my already growing reluctance in buying them in the first place. As a result I just ended up canceling the 3 Seacons (I didn't like Tentikil) at Hasbro Pulse with the hope that "Space Pirate" versions would follow at a lower price. Looks like they are but if they're the same TT price then my next hope will be for a KO set since I don't have that much love for them to begin with.

    Im interested to see full figure and if i like him I'll buy for sure. I just hope they don't pull the same B.S as what was done for being on pulse. Basically they are time stamped for end of preorder on certain date then each figure after that too have a date. Just as the seacons had and i REALLY wanted those figures pretty bad.

    This book is interesting. Even the art. What issue or Vol. is it from?

    At first I was like 3 dozen? o_O ..,then I was adding up my collection and saw 10 on display combined, 4 boxsets, 3 separated teams, and then a few multiples of torsos and limbs and realized I was at about 2 dozen myself! kind of out of hand but it’s still fun. Let’s see Neptune...

    First of all, it wasn´t Hasbro who made the Seacons, it was Takara. Second, this means anything that has to do with the production cost per unit and selling price per figure is tied to a totally different budget then the one Hasbro would use.
    Also, don´t think Hasbro would have ever gotten the idea to make the seacons in the first place. But if they would have ever gotten that idea, it might have ended up on half-assed retools and repaints.

    I don't have the original seacon set, I actually held off them them because of I much prefer the gold and white deco of God Neptune since Beast Wars is my jam.
    Also I don't actually disagree with you about the price, I actually hope the new set is lower in price as well (probably at the cost of losing a member).

    Trust me I know. That's why I'm reaching out to Hasbro. They tend to listen to people like me more.

    Watch Takara release this as a boxset and then Pulse will open up each box and ship the team members separately!

    Looking closely, I see what you mean. They always looked too blocky here.

    I wonder if the artist had to use preliminary designs for reference?

    And how am I supposed to understand that now?
    Seacons are z-tiere for Hasbro, so we might have gotten some minor retools for the alt-modes at best and mostly just head retools. Considering weapons, 2 guns at best per figure and probably no trident.

    Does this really need a response....

    Hasbro didn't really make any of Season 1's TF characters. They simply renamed them and repackaged them. Didn't do a bad job either. So if they eventually release their own set of Seacon's via HasTak in another year or 2, then my wallet will be waiting. If not I think I'll live.
