As the lucky Hong Kong Transformers collectors are getting their hand on the newly reissue G1 Seacons, we get to see out of the package toy images of this gestalt.

Check out below for the images provided by HK-TF member 啪啪聲 (http://www.hk-tf.com/discuz/upload/view ... a=page%3D1) :

Hey how come Snaptrap has a green head and not the black one? He looks a lil goofy looking!

Missing paint application, I guess. See the other Piranacon thread, this set has more issues than just that.

Starting to be glad that I cancelled my preorder now...

I have no issue with the other inaccuracies...but that green head is almost a dealbreaker. I suppose this set will be displayed as Piranacon while the collecter's club gets to be the seacons.

It took me 3 tries to type that...

Im glad everybody is finally gonna get a shot at owning these guys. Ill pass cause I own the originals, but its great to see re-issues come out because G1 fans deserve them. The only thing the screwed up on was Overbite's (or is it Overkill) body was supposed to be purple not pink. And Snaptraps head is supposed to be black.

I've heard that there are also mold issues, that the quality is a lot less. Same with the new reissue of Predaking, the previous was okay I was told. To bad I didn't get that one back then.

Well, I bought an extra Snaptrap and Overbite to deal with the color changes.

I'm a slave to G1 accuracy. Especially in my G1 reissues.

Ohhh great, now he really does look like a cheap knock off. Wonder if theres a way to take his head off? I'm going to try and replace it with my broken g1 Snaptrap instead. On the plus side I'm glad I got the first Predaking reissue.

You're not alone. Me, I'll make an exception if they change the color to match the cartoon accuracy e.g. Reissue Galvatron purple version or eyes color changing e.g. Reissue Inferno.
Green head for Snaptrap and Overbite has pink back. I'll pass and go to Ebay for the original.

Dammit, Hasbro. First you release the Seacons as an exclusive with (compared to the original) subpar paints apps, and now you make them just different enough to warrant me buying it despite having G1 anyway.

Curse your love of my money!
