    IDK why, but this figure specifically from BW always looked like one of those cheap KO's.

    I still find it strange they're reissuing a remold of a figure they also reissued very recently, especially with so many other molds to choose from, but considering I think K-9 is the superior figure to Wolfang, I won't complain. I really like him.

    Wolfang was such a great example of the BW weapon integration gimmick, so glad to see them bringing that mold back as much as possible. Just need an updated version...even if it's in reference to the Telemocha figure.

    I almost wish you guys would hold on posting this news until AFTER the livestreams. So much gets spoiled before they are actually announced.

    I haven't gotten a single one of the reissues.

    ...but this was my first large size Beast wars figure. Him and Bonecrusher.

    I am so getting this.

    (whispers) Now do a reissue of Snarl the Tasmanian Devil...

    Wolfang was the first of these reissues where I felt the quality was not up to par. Mine definitely feels like the plastic is cheap, brittle, and pliable in too many areas. Have not had that problem on any of the other reissues, so I am a bit worried about how K-9 will fare.

    Damn, I might have to snag one of these, I haven't bought any of the BW reissues but I had this guy growing up and he was SUPER fun. (My sister had Wolfang to go with it, funny enough.)

    I'm guessing that every mold might not be fully viable and so they'll pump out what they have. I'm just hoping that they go the full distance and give us Max-B while they're at it.

    Would be great if they could reissue the entire Cyborg-Beasts team. While I already have them it would be nice to get a second set, just to display the beast modes.

    Prolly because:

    -Upsizing a mold is a common KO trick
    -The odd colors, even by BW standards.
    -He doesn't really look like what he's suppose to be.
    -His name sounds kinda KO-fy.

    It has always cracked me up that in a series about robots that turn into animals from a million years ago, there is a dog breed that was created in 1899.
