World's Smallest Transformers
Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2007 9:18 am
Still working on this collection, so I figured restarting the thread wouldn't hurt.

First, a little background for the sake of posterity. If you've never heard of WST, this'll get you started:
World's Smallest Transformers was made to capitalize on the popularity of Generation 1 reissues that broke out around 2000. These are accurate, although not exact, reproductions of Generation 1 toys, but only about two and a half centimeters tall. They don't feature as many moving parts and accessories like guns usually aren't included. However, they still transform like their 1984 counterparts.
WST were only available in Japan, and the figures in the box were random. You didn't know which figure you got until you opened it. Some figures were more rare than others. Examples of these "chase rares" are Ultra Magnus, Skywarp, and Bluestreak.

I've only been collecting WST for a few months, and I have a total of 8. I haven't gotten any chase rares yet, but I'm looking to resolve that shortly (today, hopefully). Here's the list:
Convoy vs. Megatron
Prowl
Soundwave
Sideswipe
Starscream
Thrust
Red Alert
Since I'm still relatively new to the collection, anything anyone else who knows more about is welcome. I also don't know much about knock-offs, except for the Dinobots.
I did save a very sexy picture of Ultra Magnus's trailer from a pre-reset thread. However, I forgot where it came from or how to get this amazing thing. Check attachment.
