Yeah, my eternal hope of any reissues is that they would reissue figures we never got in the states or at least figures that are cool. Really, If they reissue Sideswioe AGAIN will he really be any different than the other Sideswipe reissues? People talk about being able to get a reissued figure cheaper than paying for an original G1 or paying for a reissue from 2003 or whenever TRU had them. But how is that different from some of us having to pay huge monies for Deszaras or something that has never been reissued? Maybe it's just some of us: if I wanted a Sideswipe I'd hunt one down, and pay for him if the price was acceptable, not just hope we'd get reissue Jazz #400.

Nor will they be.

Confirmed at BotCon, the molds are lost/broken.

sacrebleu!!! now those G1 Dinobots are sure gonna cost a four-tyune....

Insecticons

Reflector

Hound

Mirage

Huffer

Shockwave

Wheelie.

SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT.

I vote Counterpunch, we need a action figure of our favorite Douchebag. We <3 him

It should be another decepticon, a seeker or maybe a Devastator set, but it will probably be another Autobot. I agree with the earlier post that it will probably be Prowl.

I'm not complaining though. I would totally buy Prowl. My original G1 is in bad shape.

I definitely second that notion. I can't afford the huge ebay prices for a Thrust or Ramjet in good condition. A reissue of both of those would be freakin sweet!

I think he's one of the "damaged" molds.Theres got to be some reason they havent done him already.

Yes. Along with Wheeljack, Mirage etc.

Oh, dammit! That sucks. Any chance they would make a new mold of them? I mean, at the prices they are asking for these things, they could and still make a profit.

We've been looking to the answer to that statement for years.Takaras only statement was that the cost of making new molds at todays safty regulations would result in a triple price change to the customers.The problem is that its not only the molds that prevent Takara from making these reissues.........most of the stickers on both Mirage and Wheeljack would have to be redesigned as well.....they lost the rights to you them.But ZI know that it wouldnt both me if they changed them.

Ain't there some Shockwave bootleg floating around now....? And Huffer? Like in the big box and everything? I'm just picturing the bookstyle box like the Takara reissues come in, and opening up the front cover and seeing Huffer.....?

With the stickers, Reprolabels already makes 'em. It's too bad they won't used RiD prowl's mold. I know that isn't G1, but it resembles it at least.

Repro lables isint an offical source.Takara doing it would open them up to law suits.
As for the RID mold its been don as a Bot con exclusive.

Reflector,Sunstreaker and Springer

Would be nice

What it'll probably be: Prowl


What I'd like to see instead:

Shockwave
Constructicons/Devastator set
Reflector
Thrust
Ramjet
Scourge
Cyclonus
Trailbreaker
Runabout and Runamuck

Is it because the deco are actually licensed to real companies?

Isn't it possible for them to use similar stickers without the original wordings?

Or maybe, do a similar deco?

Typo?

Deszaras is spelled correctly.

Breastforce oughta be one single word.

Yes

I would say anything is possible.......it just seems that fixing both problems combined is more efferet then Takara is willing to make.

You can never have enough breat force. LOL

Funny.

I would be happy with Prowl, or any of the other seekers or cars. Though I really wish we could get a nice new Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.

Jazz was damaged mold too, and they fixed him, so I really don't understand why they can't do the same for this guy.

What difference would that make??????The problem isnt that they cant make them,it that they cant use them with out being sued by the trademark owener.

Jazz's mold was only damaged in the face...
As for Wheeljack and Mirage, they are totally damaged.

Jazz's damaged was minor.....it was just his head.From what we've been told [and I'll admit it not much to go on] the damage to Sunstreaker's and Wheeljack's mold's were to extensive to be eazly repaired.And Sideswipe has been reissued more then a few times.

For some reason I was thinking Beast Wars, its been a way to long day.

Im all for:

Shockwave!
Dinobots
metal predaking
Reflector!
Seacons
Constructicons
Gnaw from the movie!


The ones with exclamations points are ones that I really want to see
