    Ugh. NEED this guy. C'mon Bandai! Take my Money already!

    Maybe they'll finally announce him for the oncoming Toy Story 4 merchandise push.

    i tried to email bandai but keeps giving me errors saying that the email does not exist... i used the email on there instagram and even DM'd them too but no response unfortunately:(  We gotta let bandai know that there is a huge audience that would love to own him and we gotta speak up. I feel like they are pushing away from doing him. Anyone got ideas on how we can let bandai know that we would like for them to make him? Im desperate lol been thinking about owning this guy since 2013

    Nothing yet. Did he make an appearance in Toy Story 4? I haven't seen it yet.
    What would be really cool is if Disney+ did a whole Transitron series. They can use it as an excuse to promote mass transit. Maybe then we'd get some toys. :D

    Combat Carl from the same Toy Story short made a reappearance, but no Transitron.

    At long last our wait is over!

    It’s a cute little figure though. I’d pick it up if I saw it. At least someone is making something of Transitron I guess.

    Fuck it, I'll take that. I still want something more legit but that's a start.

    What line of toys is that?

    Yeah, I'd like to know too, they actually look like great little figures overall.

    Thanks! Now I can only assume that the Toy Gods will taunt me and ensure that this will be, for some reason, incredibly hard to find. :lol

    I'm amazed someone here hasn't made a 3d printer version yet. BTW my 4yo son who has all the toystory stuff memorized really wants one

    ^that part.

    While i prefer resin printing an FDM printer would likely produce a more than adequate Transitron. That guy on Youtube who prints Transformers needs to be contacted about this.

    I’ve been hoping for a Transitron as well. Met a designer (thru collecting Beastbox) and he has been printing obscure characters from Toy Story for a while now. We discussed at length about Transitron as well a year back and super stoked to say there’s some progress!

    Here’s a test print (using PLA) to check joint tolerances.

    EDIT:

    More info I got from him:
    - 50cm tall (huuuuuge!)
    - does transform (or separate for that matter)
    - ABS material
