    Well, it's an improvement. I got him for my Transforming GI Joe vehicle display. I already have some GI Joe themed Autobot symbols for him.

    It's currently the cheapest way of getting this mold too. The originals are sold out, and the Chrome version is $30+.

    Eh, I don't like GI Joe. I think I'm just being tempted by the almighty sale. Lol. Tho the chrome versio does look pretty nice. Suits the mold.

    don't have a pic, but worth mentioning the Manatee box art is a great homage to GIJoe toys of the 80s, too.

    Yes it is.

    The Headrobots Snake and X-Transbots Power Rat also did similar homages to Joe packaging.

    Hopefully reprolabels takes care of Manatee like they did with Deep Dive!

    At that price he's tempting, but I think I'm going to hold off and see if he's still available after I get my G2 version from iGear to see how I like the mold. People always quote how many BBTS has left in stock but I never see that information on the product page, how does one check that?

    Add an item to your cart, then change the quantity to something stupid high like 1748 and click update. It will reduce the number to how many they have available.

    According to his bio, Manatee was initially stationed in my home town of Kearney Nebraska.
    How odd...
