What is that smaller Blitzwing next to the Platinum redeco?

Its part of the Worlds Smallest TF series. I didnt include it because I didnt want to confuse anyone.

If it is, it's an unofficial figure, as Blitzwing was never released as such.

Yeah, there is no Smallest Transformers Blitzwing.

And aren't the Smallest TFs even smaller than the toy in that pic? Like, Micromaster/Mini-Con/Nebulon-sized (or smaller)?

Yeah, now taht you mention it, he isnt as small as the others. Probably a downsized KO?

There's a 'WST Blitzwing' by Justitoys. They've also done the Dinobots, Sixshot (I believe), Blaster, Shockwave and Astrotrain.

But the one on those pictures looks in between the size of G1 astrotrai and the Justitoys one (pictures below), no?

The user provided some (rather morbidly themed) pictures

What's morbid about them?

Puny humans!

Much like G1 Star Saber I got the Landcross reissues because I thought they look cool. Glad I did then, wonder how much the originals go for. Also I fairly certain Takara did some necessary paint touch ups on the figures and in some cases made new combiner heads. I could be wrong but I remember looking at comparison shots and the heads looked noticeably different. Might have to do a review of my set someday...

Blitzwing's missile launchers didn't work on the US G1 toy either, which is what I think this version is based on. We'll know soon enough as somebody bought his first Platnium Edition.

Weirdly the more I see that Blitwing the less I hate that colour scheme. I swear it reminds me of something but I can't think what. I don't want these figures though. Had these guys in regular colours as a kid and I don't miss them.

Ugh. That plastic screams KO crap quality. And they get uglier with each new image...

As for the mini Blitzwing, that is the Justitoys World's Smallest figure. They did the Dinobots, Sixshot, Shockwave, among others in the WST scale.

But the Smallest Transformers scale is tiny. That smaller Blitzwing looks too big to in that scale, unless Justitoys didn't make theirs as small as the official ones (I wouldn't know).

The Dinobots are about legends-sized, which they pass off as 'cartoon-accurate scale!'. Blaster and Shockwave are regular WST size and the multi-changers are all about the size of the Dinos as far as I'm aware.

How the hell can you tell from pictures alone? Are you a veteran chemist in the plastic industry to make such a claim?

While Seibertron has had exclusive images of the Platinum Conehead G1 rerelease (officially called TRANSFORMERS PLATINUM EDITION SEEKER SQUADRON 3-PACK) for almost a month now, Hasbro has finally provided stock images of this set and we have the high definition ones to show you. The previous in box images confirm that the deco will be provided through stickers and not tampographs. This set includes a reissue of G1 Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust and can currently be preordered online for 69.99$ US and 99.95$ US. It is set to ship early May.

For all news on the Platinum sets coming out in 2015, look no further than Seibertron.com

Hope these show up at Kmart or Target.

At least they're the right colors

Ordered! Finally after 30 years, Season 2 'cons are completed!

Bought Blitzwing/Astrotrain on ebay today, really not super expensive there. Looking forward to getting them whenever the slow boat decides to ferry them here.

Is there anything wrong with them though?

Hey Congrats! Thats something I think I will never achieve, its really an awesome accomplishment, especially with today's market.

Most people here that know me will know my love of the G1 Seeker mold....

... so I'm rather disappointed in this set. Without anything funky to it, like an anime deco or weird colours or extra accessories - there isn't enough here to make it worth owning. I guess its great for people that need the figures, but I never buy reissues unless there is something 'different' from the vintage, which makes these a pass for me.

Your welcome your welcome your welcome!

Been on the fence for the E-hobby Thrust and Ramjet but their prices are simply waaaaaaaay out of my league for the prices they fetch. Even in ebay, Thrusts costs so high and that's for the loose and incomplete figs. Now both bricks and poseable versions are now mine (the former once delivered this May to be exact)

Desslock probably meant the coneheads not getting the "duocon" colored treatment.

Now, if only just the G1 Dinobots are released again( with the exception of Grimlock).....

Call me weird but I read that in the voice of a high-class British lady.

Seriously, I really LOVE standard re-issues. Most of the G1 toys I own are reissues and I wouldnt own any otherwise. The true vintage stuff is either in bad shape or ridiculously expensive. In a world with no reissues, I can't even imagine how much the vintage G1 stuff would go for. So, with normal reissues, HasTak make new money and it allow the average guy to enjoy some G1 molds.

You and me on the same boat "K"
