Id buy that in a heart beat.

I wouldnt be suprised if it is a reissue, takara can do what it likes as it isnt realeasing to the american market.

would be nice if Hasbro Europe did a reissues too

I'd buy them without hesitation.

CP, do you mind if put this up as a "Rumor" for now?

I'm a bit skeptic about this for two simple reasons: the colors on Overbite are off and Snaptrap is missing. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being a bootlegged reissue...

Yea, it's definitely a rumor. We don't know all that much and my ability to read Chinese is...non-existent.

I doubt it's a bootleg for the lone reason that Takara has the mold and has used it recently.

Still, I'm not touching it until e-Hobby issues it, in God Neptune colors, with Nautilator and all accessories. [-(

Did I mention I already have Piranacon?

Seibertron.com member Counterpunch has discovered this thread over at ACToys showing off what looks to be production samples of the limb figures of the Seacons. They feature 1987 copyright stamps, but more modern "Not for Sale" stamps.

Could these be the first production samples for a reissue of the Seacons? Original prototypes now surfacing after 23 years? A Google Translation of the forum posts indicates the photographer is in the dark as much as we are currently, but Seibertron.com will have more information as it becomes available.

In the meantime, head on over to our galleries of Piranacon, Seawing, Tentakil, Nautilator, Skalor, Overbite, and the strangely absent SnapTrap.

What's the deal with the different copyright stamps?

by **Ultra Markus** » Tue Jun 01, 2010 12:05 pm

DejaVu I remember hearing about a possible reissue of these a few years ago
either they were for tfcc or universe anyway they should do it

Design by Hasbro, mold by Takara. Simple as that. Note it says "1987" and Hasbro uses the old style logo, indicating the mold has not been updated ever since it was first used.

The TFCC Seacons have the same datestamps, IIRC.

I hope this rumour becomes reality.. I've been holding out on picking up G1-colored Seacons simply because I've been anticipating a reissue

News Credits: 2 · by **Stockade** » Tue Jun 01, 2010 1:46 pm

Man! i hope this comes true, i was getting ready to piece together these sea monsters to have one of my favorite combiners. If this becomes reality, then i can place these on my waiting list next to Predacons and Sixshot!...
Oh wait wait...thats right i have a mint condition Sixshot on display, so no need for another one....

Already drooling over the box art!

by **Rated X** » Tue Jun 01, 2010 4:14 pm

Well Im fortunate to own the originals. And since this was one of the last figures I bought before my teens, it is in extremely great condition. I hope it is made available for all to enjoy. That is how it should be...straight up.

by **SJ21** » Tue Jun 01, 2010 5:11 pm

I hope they do re release these guys. My brother and I had three of these guys growing up and we never did complete the set. I would love to get them now.
