Reissue fans rejoice for TakaraTomy's highly celebrated reissue line Transformers Encore will continue!
Recently we told you about Encore Devastator and now word of further two reissues has come out. Kapow-Toys reveal through their forum that the next figures in the Encore line will be Twincast and Soundblaster, click here for the original posting.

It really is great news that Takara is keeping the Encore fires burning!
It's true, Twincast and Soundblaster are pretty safe choices, considering the availability of the molds. Still, the willingness of Takara to go through with Encore does show business courage. I can't wait to be able to get my grubby hands on more Encore; and as long as Takara keeps an eye on QC, I'll be a very happy bunny and a repeat customer!

Would Twincast come with Steeljaw or Flipsides? This will be a good opportunity for those who missed the eHobby release(Twincast I mean)

Encore is officially back......With a BLAST :BOOM: :KREMZEEK:

I'm going to get Twincast, not to mention Devastator.

I already have Soundblaster and don't bother with multiple versions of the same figure so I'll pass on him.

This is cool! I just hope

A) They're not too expensive, and

B) They don't sell out immediately

I have both the earlier versions. I'll be upset if they include "new" cassettes. :BANG_HEAD:

@CP

:lol: your should I say alter ego won't fit in Twincast, Punch may have a chance but not the 'con Counterpunch.

I hope you're joking about Punch/Counterpunch. Not sure how you're gonna cram that guy in Twincast's chest... in all his head-flipping-backwards-changing-from-yellow-Autobot-to-blue-Decepticon-car glory.

Seriously... you guys are confusing me. What gives?

Very cool news if true, but I will pass on both. Looking forward to seeing what else the Encore line brings, though.

Let's hope they continue with figures that they haven't released yet.

Likewise, however it's a great opportunity for those that missed out the first time around, especially with the original Twincast being an e-hobby exclusive.

That aside, condisering that these are re-reissues, I can't see them adding anything new, so as not to risk tha' intawebz nerd-rage ;)

This just made my day.

It just dawned on me that TT is reissuing Twincast before Soundblaster. Crazy!

I'm hoping Soundblaster comes with Ratbat and Frenzy or Rumble.

:???: This is the second time they've been reissued. Not understanding what would be crazy with the release order really. I'll be getting Twincast for shits and giggles. I passed the last time around. I wouldn't mind having Flipsides either.
