Excellent work Seibertron! Your galleries make me want to go out and buy most of them.

Just not Cohrada. I hate snakes.

That's disappointing, I was really hoping that Takara would've remolded Blackarchnia's head. Nothing too special here, they look just like the standard releases to me. (:|

Nice indeed! If these ever do appear in Home Bargains, I'll have to grab em!

Well, consider that Hasbro did NOT re-issue Blackarachnia and that the orginal release of her was no where near as show accurate as this release.

Also, look at Waspitas, he has a lot of differences compared to the Hasbro Re-issue like:

Blue Eyes instead of Grey
Added Paint detailing on the head
Parts on Arm are molded in Lighter Green instead of Tan
Green Back instead of Black
Different shade of Yellow on his butt
Back of his head is green instead of grey
Overall body's green is better shade than Hasbro release

True, but I was hoping that Takara would've gone the extra mile with Blackarachnia, as they have with other releases, such as that G1 Bumblebee figure with the cartoon accurate face.

But the head itself is pretty accurate. The only thing that they could do is add some plastic in the hole where the mouth is, but I'm sure that would have cost even more cash.

Instead he has the Dinobot Spark Crystal? Ok, that's it, he's gonna be mine now. That would be perfect for my Dinobot group of toys!

I have the original Archadis [which I got in a 2 -pack with Mach-Kick for Christmas almost 8 years ago]. It appears this time that he is a Cybertron [Maximal]. The original was a Destron [Predacon] , while Mach-Kick was a Cybertron. Anyway, these figures do look good. I wonder if there is any chance of re-issuing Lio-Convoy.

Here's a good way of telling: not a deluxe = no reissue. Simple as that

Archadis may have the wrong Spark Crystal, but everything else about the figure follow established TF canon, that Archadis is a Destron. That's so strange of TakaraTomy, since they're usually a stickler to details of this kind. Could've been intentional, perhaps, since Airraptor was the last release and it had the Dinobot crystal.

awesome galleries...I'm glad I snapped mine up from BBTS while they were cheap

I hope in Japan with all the Beast Wars reissues going on they put BWII, and NEO on DVD that way I can score some copies!

Oh and, nice job with those jazzy pics!

Snakes... why'd it have to be snakes?

These figures are made of pure WIN. Waspinator has never looked better. And they couldn't do much with Miss Arachnia's face due to the 'face changing' mutant head feature thing, unless if they removed it altogether. But it is close to her show model's head, anyway.
