I think ER and Kingdom molds are quite available for use too. silverstreak is a Target exclusive using the ER Smokescreen mold. Target, Amazon and this Walmart sub-line can also take repair slots along with Selects. I’m hoping for some Diaclone and SG repaints for the Autobot Cars and some ER seekers redecos!
@Jtprime17 you are probably the best to ask - when do you think these selects listings and Walmart sub-line listings going to start showing up in store computers?
Apologies if someone's already asked this and I missed it, but are you able to give any indication of how many Selects releases there will be?
Well theres only been about 8(?)Counting SG Optimus and the Spinout packs) So I’d say about 5 next year. I think it was mentioned that either Nightbeat or Siren are one of them. I would say your stretching it, but we are getting Pretenders next year….
We're not, sadly. =( The Iguanus leak was of the character that used to be a Pretender, but they gutted his legacy gimmick. If we do get bomb-Burst or Skullgrin, they will probably not be Pretenders either.
Haha, imagine if the Inner Pretenders were sold at normal retail, but their Shells were Walmart exclusives. There would be riots in the streets
I got it: Star Cars (Knight Rider…Mystery Machine…stuff like that). That shit would get fought over and scalped like nobody’s business…
I'd say if SG is continuing, SG Grimlock, Rodimus, and Cyclonus are essentially confirmed. They're recent molds, well-done molds, and very easy recolors of popular characters. It would be cool if they added a Siege Battlemaster recolor to SG Cyclonus to give him Kranix. The only reason I'm even hesitating a little on adding Soundwave to that is because there would need to be some minor remolding.
They have also swerved any question asking about if new molds or redecos. Or if Buzzworthy is continuing. I have never seen Cars- so I haven't a notion what the reference is, nor the Kerchow/cachoo reference.
Even if they don’t have their gimmick, they are still the Pretenders. Thats like saying a Dead End isn’t Stunticon because he can’t combine. It’s still Dead End, and it’s still Iguanus. I like the sort of anarchy your cooking.
