I'll be 100% honest, part of me only wants Runabout. He has such good colors!!! but you also can't break up duos so I'll get them both. Same reason I bought Battletrap.
Hell yeah he does, without a shadow of a doubt. Really liking how the orange pops a bit more thanks to the breakup between it and the black. And no way you can't have him without Runamuck! Like two peas in a pod, literally!
Like Josuke and Okuyasu! I just bought SAS Josuke for $99, so guess who I'm buying for the same price!....
Ah god dammit you beat me to the punch, haha. Guess you're filling up one of those shelves on the side of your mirror after all! (Happened to actually catch your collection video earlier today, ironically, good stuff my man!). Been meaning to start collecting the JoJo SAS figures but I just never got to it. Probably gonna start by putting in an order for my boy due out in February. With Act 2 and 3 of course (those guys are a separate release for the same exact price, oof my wallet.). Probably gonna put a pre-order in for Joseph as well. Dio and Jotaro i'll try to nab sooner or later in between and I guess i'll go from there. Now to see if we have a thread yet for these guys in the Toyark section. Don't wanna steal Runabout's spotlight.
Soo good. Loving these guys, Runabout has always been my favourite of the two but like others have said... Can't have one without the other. Bought on site. Now again, looking at these guys, it's pretty easy to see an easy remould for Chase, Freeway and Searchlight.
Yeah, like Rumble and Frenzy, they are a pair that always goes everywhere together. (Well except that one Season 3 episode where Runamuck was riding Blast Off Dr Strangelove style. ) Despite my love for the Battlechargers, I simply could not justify signing up to the club, then waiting ages for their crappy shipping service (they had atrocious shipping outside the USA) to get a deluxe for like 100$. Instead I bought an extra RvtS Tracks and Wheeljack and was planning to remold/paint them myself. But never got around to do it, which in retrospect, I don't mind, given how good the new toys are. But you had to pay around 50$ for the membership too (or more). I never joined but a friend of mine in Slovakia did, and he told me despite there being far cheaper and trackeable options of shipping via USPS, they always shipped via some super expensive way. Furthermore, they never packed anything well, for example the TFCC comic he got always arrived bent and crumpled because they just tossed it in an envelope instead of a cardboard sleeve. Compare this to Selects, where deluxe toys cost 20-22$ and can be easily purchased on BBTS even for those outside the USA... Hasbro did the right thing taking away this job from the Club. But... Generations Metroplex already comes with a perfectly fine Legends Scamper. As for Slammer, he is coming in Kingdom, rumored to be a Warpath remold. That's fine, but most people like me will buy these for the character, not because they look good in this or that color. Leaving one out would be like getting Frenzy but skipping Rumble, or not completing all 3 of the seekers. He is red, the shoulders are translucent red, not orange. Plus Runamuck never had orange colors in most of his appearances, only the toy has it. I much prefer the pure white look, as he looks more uniform that way, like a Stormtrooper. I think it is unlikely, their cartoon/comic heads have had sooo much more character unlike the expressionless visor-faces of the toys. Only the Dreamwave comics used those designs ever, and there, both of them have been just hi-then-die nobodies in the Brad Mick/Mad Brick comic. I doubt many people pine for those versions. Hasbro has gone out of their way to make the car modes more toy accurate with the stripes already, which is a nice touch. Huh! Interesting. I assumed it'd be worth nothing now, with a much better Dreadwing out. I seen the prices of the - back then, incredibly sought after for the third party City Commander armor - white Classics Ultra Magnus plummet too, same for the Onslaught-into-Hardhead Ultra figure. Unicron trilogy toys are worth a lot? I dunno, been trying to get rid of my Dark Crumplezone for ages. Nobody wants it. Btw, on topic, I did sell my Cybertron Runamuck recently, now that we have better versions available, but not for much. THat mold (and its original Armada one) remains one of the worst TF molds ever. What countries of Amazon did Bluestreak come out at? I been checking all the bigger ones - UK, DE, FR, ES - and did not see anything. Well it does come from that issue. They act like punks and slackers, disobey their orders and just go on a cross-country vandalism spree, Runamuck even ends every other sentence with "heh" like Butt-head. The funny thing is, the issue came out years before Beavis and Butt-Head existed, even. So the similarity is likely just coincidental. I recently transformed them when doing comparisons with Earthrise Wheeljack. The old RvtS molds are really fiddly, you need to do things just right to close up the rear part, and snap in the doors... engineering certainly evolved since then.
As Runamuck was my first ever transformer he has always been a favourite of mine. Both of these are a must buy for me.
Now everyone can fulfill their Runabout and Runamuck dreams! Time to stop collecting, all of our dreams have come true. I can’t remember a bot con where all the children’s faces were not sad because they clamored for these two figs.
It's funny to look at Siege Ratchet, a figure that really didn't need any remolding other than the head and maybe a way to incorporate a lightbar, but if you compare it with Ironhide, the vast majority of sculpted surfaces are different. I wish we could have had that with Runabout. As it is, I may end up only getting Runamuck and using the TFCC Runabout on my shelf so they both have different car modes.
