Those colours are bananas.

NuclearConvoy wrote:Maybe I am alone in this, but I don't get the appeal of this kind of repaint of such an old mold. Usually old molds are reissued to grab money from people who want to capture nostalgia, but in these colours do they really do that? I am curious to see how well these sell.

It really makes no sense to issue them in these colors. The whole thing feels like a test shot package to me.

I saw that.
As of now, it still makes zero sense.
"Here is a reissue in colors that have no connection to the characters. Please spend Platinum pricing levels to buy this thing you did not want."
More likely, it's a mock up and all of that, packaging and figures, will be resolved prior to release.
