How the heck are these already basically sold out everywhere? I can't find anywhere that still has preorders for the SG Cosmos/G2 Ramjet and Conehead repaint set. Are they super limited or something?

 

Bombusbee has both available for preorder:

【Pre-order】Dr.Wu DW-E21B Turbo Ramjet DW-E22M Heaven Eye Cosmos Shattered Glass Version

【Pre-order】Dr. Wu DW-E19G Propel Thrust DW-E20Y Elegy Dirge Shattered Glass Version


Though I am sure that other places will have more in stock later on.

 

CHAMPION! Thank you! I knew I was forgetting one of the retailers, and it was Bombusbee. Much obliged!

 

I just think it's unexpected demand given how good this and the SG came out, plus you know it's ACTUALLY Gobot Pathfinders deco on Cosmos instead of that oddball blue/red/yellow Takara pulled out their butt all those years ago.

Niche group or not, people have been asking for this, and just having come from the other thread totally not surprised pre-orders are GONE. Small package but absolutely stunning to see.

 

I know it used the Classics mold when released, but would you not count Nacelle as a repaint of G1 Thrust?

 

Oh man I forgot about that fugly figure! That thing always reminded me of a kabaya kit due to that color scheme. Thrust has such a cool mold it's a shame it isn't appreciated more. I would love to see a good repaint of Thrust someday...

 

So obviously the yellow Dirge is the SG version… I guess since there isn’t really an established color scheme for SG Thrust (that I know of?) the green Thrust is an Armada homage. I might just label him up as SG Thrust anyway (though in my mind SG Thrust should be blue like BWII Dirge, since SG Dirge homages BWII Thrust’s colors, in a weird roundabout).

 

You know, with the bits of black, along with that particular shade of slightly neon, mildly greenish yellow used for SG Cosmos almost makes him come off more as Krok.

 

That's because SG Cosmo's colors are based on Krok's.

 

Well, isn't that a crock?!?!  

 

I'm just gonna call em Meltdown(green, viva ANIMATED!!!) and Corrosion(yellow(?) orange(?)) and have them be Acid Storms buddies, maybe lackeys.

 

I really should have made that assumption... A huge chunk of SG was swaps after all.

 

Please dr wu just release blasters cassettes 

 

Those are some niche choices for repaints, but, hey. It seems like Dr. Wu is really getting their mileage out of their conehead versions of their seeker molds. Good for them!

 

Gotta pay for those Inferno, Grapple and Bulkhead molds.
The repaints have been better than I expected. Dr. Wu has a good eye for colors.

 

At this point they should just make a bunch of a new seekers and cone heads.

 

These look fun.

Though that green feels very KO...   I'm not keen on colors that match the stuff you see in dollar shops.   Hopefully, just the photos, and not the final color.

 

Bombusbee balance request for the 2 sets this morning. Let's go!!!

 

Nice! Hope ShowZ gets theirs soon. Been needing my mini Crack figures

 

And, just got notices for both sets (edit, from ShowZ). And only $25.99 total for each pair! That's a nice drop from prior sets!
