Never saw him on the shelf myself, always wanted to grab him back when I was a kid

 

Nice! Another awesome Old school Beast Wars re issue! Want

 

Well I'm definitely going to have to get this.

 

Hello yes how can I get this because I need this.

 

Interesting. I honestly wouldn't have thought a non-show character would get a reissue. I wonder if they'll use the sales of these figures to determine the viability of non-show BW characters getting Generations figures.

 

Back in the day this shelfwarmed like crazy here in the UK so to discover it was an in demand toy in the US was a shock! I was just getting going clearing out every shop in SW London for US Chums when they all disappeared.

A few months later solid cases of this, and his fellow arch shelfwarmer Clawjaw, popped up in Toy Stack, a toy discount place

 

We knew it was coming, see Leaked 2022 SS and Evolution wave composition

K-9 also on the runway

 

Huh. I either missed or forgot about that. So far, I haven't been super interested in the reissues, so I probably never paid that part of the listings any attention.

 

Great, now quit screwing around and start reissuing the Transmetals!

 

Cybershark is one of those shellformers that leaves you satisfied, until now I was only waiting for figures that appeared in the TV series, but waiting for figures like this shark and K9, they are excellent.  

 

I really wish someone would make a masterpiece style of this guy.

 

Oddly enough K-9 was a pretty big pegwarmer here, but he's getting a reissue, too.

 

I think releasing non-show characters is a better strategy than flooding Walmart with Cheetors and Rattrap that share space with their modern toys. In Rattraps case the reissue was significantly more expensive than the K one and around the same size.

 

This is the first of these vintage re-releases to catch my eye. I'll definitely be picking him up and I'll happily take any other non-show BW figures.

 

Huh, if guys like this are getting a reissue then I might see the likes of Dragonfly and one or two others I had as a kid.

 

It's Jetstorm

 

Jetstorm is one of my favourites from all time. I have him, but I might be a reissue as mine is missing the insect legs and the bullets.

 

Nice! Sounds like the door\'s open for some good stuff. Transmetals would be nice. But my hope is still for rare Japanese stuff. GalvaConvoy being chief among them.

 

Eh, it's not hugely taller, but quite a bit more mass (beast mode is quite a bit larger than the Kingdom fig)

 

Sure we know that, but the general public probably won't see the value in getting the Vintage $23 vs. Modern one for $10-12
