I was lucky enough to get both TRNSes on sale from BBTS a few years back, but was so frustrated Impossible Toys only did Arcee and Paradron Medic with the mold. They could've put some purple on her for Marvel Arcee, orange for prototype colors Arcee, even Chromedome's colors for an inversion of the aborted Headmaster Arcee toy. (Incidentally, has no 3rd party repainted a Chromedome into Arcee yet? I can't believe Code only got a cheap black repaint)
I.T. was my favorite 3rd party for cranking out stuff that HasTak will surely never touch, and I'd been hoping that they're trying to recoup a bit from their loss by selling their molds to some KO company that might give us color variations of TRNS down the road...
...but now? F@#% it! I'll just buy a handful of these on sale and repaint 'em all myself! Especially if that wave hits T.J.Marshaxx!
Of course, if selling a dead 3rd party's molds to a KO-maker is possible, it could still give us a lot of Quint variants I.T. never got around to, just not the 3-faced guy who made the transorganics, or the humanoid ones in F.I.A.L.T.C...
And if Delicate Warrior's price comes down because of this, I might still bite to complete the set...but I'm mostly looking forward to this one now.
