God Neptune, as well as the previously released UW Baldigus I'm sure are/were popular despite being repaints, because they are NEW characters , in that they haven't been released in recent years. Despite Volcanicus new shiny paint and new accessories, it's still the same toy. I don't think it is wise on TT part to release Volcanicus again (nor Abominus if the end of the most recent manga is any indication).
Brand Unification was shoved down our throats in 2018/PotP, with no indication that something like this could ever be possible. I don't know how many times I have to say, the great thing about UW sets was, knowing they were coming, so you didn't have to waste money buying 2 of everything. If these had come out even within 12 months of the PotP releases, as opposed to 3 years, I might not have been as disappointed, but 3 years is just too late, especially asking fans who (if paid retail) almost $100 to get Volcanicus, now you want us to drop another $200? ...Of course some fans are probably scrambling to sell their Hasbro versions on eBay now to recoup some of that, but it's just frustrating.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Black Zarak, but if this pattern continues, it seems more likely we will get a "More Headmasters Accurate" ER Scorponok with all the weapons and accessories in 2023 before we get Black Zarak.
Bucket/Want List: Botcon 2016 Customization Class Ratchet (G2 Deco), or Customization Class Ratchet (Marvel Comics Deco) **would also be willing to pay for an Unpainted Botcon 2016 Ratchet, TT Legends Fortress Head (only) with working Electronics
Wish List of Modern Combiners: Road Caesar, Monstructor & Dinoking (proper size to fiction), Landcross, Guard City, Battle Gaia, & G2 Defensor. Wish List of Titans:Metrotitan,Majin Zarak
