The mouth is the same, the metallic paint just obscures and alters the way the details look.

They really should, '18-'19 was a long time ago. Would be a good opportunity for a 2-pack at Target or somewhere.

They were once everywhere and often on sale. They could be found for cheap at my local geek store.
I skipped them all and now, it is too late.

Just pray they switch out SS Crankcase for a redeco of TLK Berserker.

Exactly right! I managed to grab TLK Berserker just in time to turn one into Crankcase, but it'd be great to get a real Crankcase in the line! Might be a good opportunity to include Crankcase and Crowbar's blasters too.
Hatchet just went up for preorder, got one! Very excited to finally have another Bayverse deluxe on the way in the main line after (by the time it releases) more than 2 years!

We're supposed to be getting a new Deluxe Bumblebee movie Bee (though that might have become One B-127) and Leader Apelinq in this wave, those will probably be shown this weekend.

Galvatron is definitely a lazy release. Hope they don't do the same thing for Megatron now, and re-issue the same Siege mold yet again but with minimal deco changes.
That is now, a definite possibility.

Megatron is going to be a Leader class, which I know doesn't mean much after Legacy United Soundwave, but I'm pretty sure the leakers were saying it's a new mold for sure. After Concept Megatron I don't think it'll take much for it to be a Leader, especially if it's going to be height matched to CC Optimus Prime.

Man, I hope they eventually do a real Crankcase too... I still don't understand how that mix-up happened. The dreads had really cool blasters too, I think they were the blasters used by the Decepticon protoforms in general?

Not really, Galvatron is getting rereleased as is because he's plenty accurate already. But Earthrise Megatron is nowhere near screen accurate enough in robot mode to fit with Studio Series, so he'll get a new toy for sure.

It's not a straight rerelease. Galvatron's colors have been changed.Rtron wrote:Not really, Galvatron is getting rereleased as is because he's plenty accurate already.

First up is DOTM Que, who looks spectacular! Note that he has the big gun thing he wears on his back in the movie, and has his tools built in!
Next up is MV6 Bee, who is actually a heavy retool of SS-18! The vehicle shell is largely reused but pretty much all the inner structure is new. He does have door wings but they can reportedly swivel down now.
We also have a repack of 86 Jazz:
WFC Ironhide, who actually has more retooling than I thought from Ratchet. Includes what’s either a scatter blaster or EMP shotgun:
And lastly is AOE Prime! Important note that the colors in this render are incomplete per Hasbro. Love that the sword and shield are properly scaled! Definitely need to see more pics!
Posted by Overcracker on October 26th, 2024 @ 1:27pm CDT
Que, is calling me, but will need to see alt-mode pics.
BBMBB is o.k, no real interest.
Definitely interested in Jazz in the toy colors.
Ironhide, yes, gimme…
And Prime, ohh my… yes!.
Need to see truck mode pics though.
More and higher quality pics of Apelinq in this completed eBay sale.

It's possible that it could be a retool, but you'll end up with something quite small. A modified oversized (slightly oversized) could be made, but doing it for a mold that is almost 8 years old would be baffling and extremely disappointing.

Sure, but it wouldn't be the first time Hasbro just reused a TLK mold in Studio Series instead of making a new mold.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Do you suppose it could be a retool of that TLK mold?-Kanrabat- wrote:The blurry picture isn't showing much.

Let us know which you look forward to most!

If you're speaking about KSI Boss, that was just a straight repaint. Oh and there's Cogman too.
But if they simply repack the voyager Optimus with some extra accessories to make it a "leader", I'll be pissed.

Hence why I specified "retool" rather than a simple redeco. They could possibly reengineer the TLK mold like how Siege Springer was reengineered into SS86 Springer.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Sure, but it wouldn't be the first time Hasbro just reused a TLK mold in Studio Series instead of making a new mold.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Do you suppose it could be a retool of that TLK mold?-Kanrabat- wrote:The blurry picture isn't showing much.

If they do that, I hope they'll put much more effort than what they did with Springer.

I don't think this is a retool of the TLK Voyager, that one integrated some of the alt kibble on the arms and had a lot of visible truck kibble on the legs. This one does still appear to have a backpack but the leg kibble is hidden much more. Excited to see more though!
To manage expectations regarding the scale though, in Studio Series scale this leader Prime will be smaller than the TLK Voyager. The Studio Series trilogy Prime was undersized but they unfortunately made SS AOE Galvatron scaled to that figure, so this Prime will likely be roughly the same height as SS-32. He may have more accessories to bump him to leader class but we'll have to see, his sword and shield appear properly scaled so that's a good start!

Here are JT’s words.
Widowmaker is officially being called “KSI Widow” on her packaging. Can’t call her Widowmaker due to overwatch.

Both the Overwatch character and the concept art looks like it represent the SAME character too!
Both have the same vibe, the same overall style, and the same deadly sexiness.
I wonder how a normal deluxe toy of her will be made without looking like a girl with kibble cancer?
