    was super simple, just a brief chat. I only ordered one from target a few days ago for in store pickup, they just needed my name and the order number

    I would assume Primal/Megatron would be *new* molds. Primal would have at least three other uses (Nyx, Onyx Primal, Optimus Prime) and Megalligator would have at least two (Iguanus, G1 Megatron).

    Honestly, seeing Airazor/Terrorsaur, Primal/Nyx would probably just be a retool of that.

    There was a deluxe sized ko of BM Nightscream back in the day. Pretty hard to find these days, but it sized a lot better with the figures than the Ultra official release

    What should be the alt mode for Gillman I wonder? I'm thinking a crocodile like Skullsmasher.

    From your post to God's eyes. Nyx is a for sure. OP and Megs are pretty likely, though they don't work in my shelf themes. I'm not sure if I really want to add to my desk toy collection; I am however very weak. The other ones I doubt it, but again, I'm weak.

    Still say Skalor is a better fit,
    This is the fish Skalor was based off of
    Wonders of the Wild Coelacanth (Deluxe Ver.) Statue (bigbadtoystore.com)

    A creature that time literally forgot as it hasn't changed in 400 million years. Also, unlike alligators and crocodiles, he has gills. I can pretty much see the Gillman's face in this thing.

    The initial leak was that Mindwipe, Skullcruncher, and Wolfwire would be retooled in to Drac, Gillman, and Wolfman.

    Wow, I feel like Pulse is the one that needs to price-check.

    They had some on the shelves at my local ToysRUs. 72.99 (Can) for a Mindwipe retool though. Pass.

    I see. Yeah, that does seem to fit better.

    Makes sense since they recently used those molds. Although now that I'm looking at Skalor it would seem to be a better fit for Gillman.

    That's a Takara mold though, while these X-overs are predominantly Hasbro driven. The additional cost of the Skalor mold would drive up what would also already be a marked up figure because of the license.

    It's not just Draculus. Target appears to be putting a bunch of exclusives on sale this week. Road Rage, and Marvel Legends Thena are also marked down to name a few.

    But still say he is a waaay better fit. Given the co-development though, would it really be that much extra to use that mold?

    Would be funny if they packaged him with a re-painted Arcee (because the Kingdom Arcee mold is inescapable) to stand in for Julie Adams.

    I’m pretty sure Draculus sold successfully, so they’re likely gonna happen soon!

    Hey folks, I'm terrified to destroy the box. Does the VHS tape slide all the way out, or only partially? Because otherwise I can't figure out how to get the figure out of the box.

    IIRC, it's folded in a way that you can't pull it all the way out that way. I think it was said that you have to open the other side of the box to actually slide it out. I can't confirm personally.
