We are pleased to confirm that Skylinx will be reissued and released this December as Takara’s special New Year’s Release.

Skylinx was first released back in 1986, and was seen throughout the cartoon series, but ironically this will be Skylinx’s first release in Japan.

The website, Snakas, has posted a few pictures of Skylinx from the recent event, CharaHobby, which was held in Japan. The exact release date, price, and box art for Skylinx have not been decided as of yet. (The box seen in the picture is the 1986 box.)

Never liked him, but this is the first time he's out in Japan?!
Damn well the Brits are still waiting for Swoop.

sweet. This one I will pre order when I can find a seller.

O, I want this one!

this is gonna be a massive reissue, this could be one of the most expensive reissues yet...its one heck of a toy though, i wouldnt mind getting one too

It's got to less than the Predaking re-issue. I mean, it's only one character with three modes. However, he's motorized, so...

so...was Star Convoy.

$90-100

Calling it now.

I hope I can afford this - I have always wanted a SkyLinx!

I have the original one.. I may pick this one up if it is affordable though.. I dunno..

I never picked up the original because he was too pompous on the show. But the years have warn on me and I need to add him to my collection now.

I am all over this reissue. I have the original in my collection. Keep them coming Tak/Tomy.

That's funny, his show personality was what made me like him.

This is great! I never had him as a kid and always wanted him. I will find a way to be able to afford him!

I want one for minty purposes. I have a loose toy someone else owned, but it is always so much more fun to open and play with a fresh, new one!!!

I have wanted this one since I was six. I am definitely going to have to buy this reissue. If the price is not too high I will pick one up for my nephew as well. Regardless of the price there will definitely be one reissue Skylinx in sitting in me shelf.

Two words........kick ass!!!!

I missed out on this guy as a kid when there was just one available now in my little village. Now I have the chance to own him....yes!!!!

I can’t type when my girlfriend is talking to me. What I meant to say was that no matter what the price is there will definitely be one reissue Skylinx sitting in my shelf.

The new year will start off on a good note.

This really blows!
Just recently I managed to buy (from Ebay) a working Sky Lynx that was still white with all stickers correctly attached...
I would have prefered the re-issue since I would be the one taking him out of the box and putting those stickers on...
Not to mention the probable price difference...

Hopefully they'll be avaliable when my relatives go to Japan.

I like collecting space shuttle transformers... I'm looking forward to this.

Guess I'm in the small minority-I didn't care for the toy much back in the day, still can do without him now. I'm happy for those who've wanted him though. Hope you enjoy him!

Since he was never released in Japan the box art that they decide upon will be interesting. This was unlike the Predaking reissue. I wonder if they will go with the US box art or do the JPN version of it. I would prefer a new JPN version myself.

I still have my G1 origonal but was never a fan of the walking Sphinx
