Well, that's a tough one. First we need to know if the mold is available at all... Also, there's no reissue line going. Encore has been silent for 1,5 years. Without a platform to reissue a Nightbeat, the less popular Minelba is not a likely release.
Ultra Mad wrote:An interesting alternative to a reissue toy would be for a new toy. The masterforce serie from which Minerva is from has received a few new figures in recent years. There was the Botcon Metalhawk and Ginrai. There is also an upcoming repaint of Nightbeat/Bumblebee as Go Shuta in the Million publishing line in Japan. I could really see a repaint/ slight remold of Classics Prowl/Smokescreen as a decent Minerva. No?

Ultra Mad wrote:I agree. This mold would be good for Minerva!

While an easier thing to find than an authentic G1 Minerva, these are also not easy to come by anymore. However, if you can prove me wrong and know where to get these easily lately, a link would be awesome!

I wish I had a line for one man; missed out on that party the first time round and to play catch up on GoShooter and the Reprolabel set.
Been on a hunt since for Minerva thats complete but no luck so far.
I keep hoping Megatoyfan finds a random box in storage;
Hi,
You can feel free to start something on a Facebook page or whatever forum you wish, but as mentioned, there is nothing in the works right now, so I don’t know if it would be beneficial.

So I ask my fellow collectors/ fans. Would you like a repaint/remold of Minerva? Do you all think its time wasted?
Thanks!
P.S. I was really (and happily) surprised at how quiclky the people from the Transformers Collector's Club answered my many questions. They were great
