They revealed those deluxes Novenber last year

Grindor and Jolt will need to be revealed in some fashion soon because its ridiculous that sites like BBTS and EE have them on preorder as "mystery" figures.

Ok, so I still have no evidence, but probably in July there will be a LOT of reveals. With June focusing on GIJoe, I'm expecting the only TF reveals I'm June to be SG Goldbug, and maybe one other selects on a random Tuesday. July should be quite TF focused, which will be nice. SDCC isn't happening, so there is a LOT to reveal in lieu of that.

In past years, SDCC was the weakest in terms of reveals. The biggest ones were always Toy Fair and NYCC since they usually coincide with product availability cycles. NYCC shows us the new line and Toy Fair shows us the rest of said line ( with the titan/commander and such).

What I'm wondering about is Cyberverse since they have a ton if new product coming. But since it's not aimed at collectors I wonder if they will even bother with a reveal or just release them at retail for parents to buy as was the case since day 1 with the media related toylines aimed at kids

There was a botcon in 2018 - 2020? Which I think more was what Will meant.

Well, the Fun Pub era was a big part of reveals in "past years".

SDCC had the biggest reveals as far back as I can remember, until the last year or so, they revealed PotP, And Siege whereas NYCC And Toyfair showed later waves in those same lines. Because Siege got a 5th.wave, that's why the reveals were lackluster at SDCC 2019, and ER was instead pushed to NYCC 2019, and we have been in the pandemic ever since.

There's still a listing for a SDCC exclusive coming out, even with the event canceled ( like last years pit of judgement) . So there will be some sort of exclusive, probably at an event in July, along with SG Jetfire, probably Kingdom wave 4, and the remainder of SS for this year, hopefully.

The last Btocon was in 2016 after which FunPub lost the license.

I just assumed from the design teams current direction that all non 86 studio series were going to be revealed in stores.

Grindor is looking good! I wish he was larger, but the improvements to the mold are welcome. As is Ravage.

Plus, if anything, this is a good way to do a minor retool: 3 years later, so it can feel fresh and new to people once again, and give people a sort of stopgag fill in who didn't get Blackout back then

Here's my completed repaint of SS Topspin! While I think this may be the only case where a Studio Series figure doesn't completely live up to its original, the sculpting on it is fantastic and I had a lot of fun picking all of that out with paint!

Wrecker group shots are on their way tomorrow.

Your repaints are killer as always! Man he looks good!

I agree, Topspin is one of the rare few that didn't live up to the original, that is still a fantastically fun toy

Your repaints keep getting better with every figure. Painting the wreckers must have been particularly difficult! What with all the sponsorship decals and such.

Thank you! The Wreckers were definitely a challenge (especially with the numbering), but I think they've really pushed me to become better at these projects. I've picked up a lot of new techniques (and confidence) from working on them!

It's so cool to have a full set of armored Wreckers in the same scale - they look really good together!

I can't help but dream about how cool it would've been if they had upscaled this guy and released him as a SS Commander scale to match the proper movie scale, cause after rewatching ROTF yesterday, he is a freaking HUGE mofo, definitely worthy of the commander scale. He would need to be a bit shorter than the generations commanders, but with the added bulk and some upgraded hands/beefed up legs, that would be worth it for me all the way. But I do realize that's a dream upon dream upon dream of many things that will never be lol. One can dream.


Man was SS Blackout a shelfwarmer outside the UK? I remember never seeing the figure available anywhere (be it brick and mortar stores or online retailers) except for hugely jacked-up prices. I was always kinda bummed I couldn't get my hands on one. I'll probably snap up this guy now that I'm in the US.

For scale alone this figure is destined to be a better Blackout than Grindor, regardless of the minor paint changes.

I'm in the US, and definitely don't recall SS Blackout shelfwarming. Grimlock was usually selling out first, and was clearly the more popular leader of the wave, but Blackouts were usually gone a week or two later in my area.

Honestly, SS stuff has moved pretty quickly where I am, only stuff that stuck around a lot has been the Bumblebee subline at Targets (and that's a mix of stuff from various lines). Now Last Knight toys, THOSE were shelfwarming.

I saw Blackout once when he came out, and he was the one I bought. Outside of that, I didn't see him. The leaders around me haven't really sat at all, when they show up, they go

Sure didn't help that those Leaders came out shortly before most peoples' Walmarts stopped carrying Leaders so there was no way they'd shelf warm at other stores. They barely stayed in stock at Target, I got mine from Kmart. :lol:
