    Wow, it really does say that. To my knowledge, IDW has never published a single Shattered Glass story.

    Somewhere, Pete isn't laughing anymore.

    SG would have been Ok as a one-time thing, a joke. But like Deep Space Nine did with the Mirrorverse, they just kept revisiting it again and again and adding more and more nonsense characters like hippie beat poet Straxus and Walky's OC (do-not-steal) LOLcat Ravage and it just got more and more dumb. I am surprised Hasbro doesn't just forget this embarrassing chapter of Botcon.

    They probably chose Ratchet so that it's not Amazon only who has exclusive rights to sell that mold. Regular Ironhide and Ratchet are both Amazon exclusive, currently.

    I think if it was Optimus with some extra accessories for $40. The response would be different. But that Ratchet...

    The sheer number of redeco's in Earthrise is getting exhausting. It feels like they're intent on doing multiple redecos of every figure. And yes, I know nobody is forcing me to buy them, before anyone replies with that, but I think it'd be nice to have 1 or 2 extra new figures than 20 redecos.

    I propose a new Star Trek crossover where Shattered Glass and the Mirror, Mirror universe are revealed to be one and the same.

    Now I just hope they do a Megatron and Starscream 2-pack. And I really hope it's the Siege version of both.

    Considering how most of these redecos are in generations selects, a line literally dedicated to repaints .... I think they’re doing fine.

    Younger me would be screaming with joy right now. I used to be obsessed with Shattered Glass but the toys were so expensive on the after market that it wasn't worth trying to collect them and i sold off the few figures i had. Maybe these figures along with the new comic will spark a little bit of that excitement back again.

    If IDW is doing a shattered glass series now maybe hasbro will launch a retailer exclusive line repaints to push this idea more into the public eye, instead of just taking more selects spots?

    I think they might have also revealed that IDW is working on a Shattered Glass series or GN.

    Sigh, all of these problems of repainting and having to use only G1 molds could be solved by introducing something new where Hasbro doesn't have to repaint every figure 5 or more times, cough* unicron trilogy, cough* something we never seen

    Generations Selects isn't Earthrise and Generations Selects is strictly a redeco line. What were you expecting? There haven't been any new molds in Generations Selects and the only major retooling has been on Takaras Selects

    The colors are the only reason why I'm getting this, so I'm with you there! Minty Ratchet is goddamn amazing.

    Kinda feels like Soundwave/Megatron would make a good counter pack.

    Though we don't have a mold that works for SG Megs as we currently know him.

    Looks like they’re gonna stick to the ol business in the front, party in the back look for shatter Optimus legs. Similar to the Netflix prime legs BCE3C604-B413-4103-B730-492031621E8E.jpeg
