Tigatron Reissue Released in Canadian Walmarts within an Aisle Standee to Accommodate more Product

Any day now... That Tigatron is calling to me.

My takara one needs a buddy. It's been him and shadow Panther for a decade now

Everyone knows what to expect in general from a reissue of the original Beast Wars Tigatron mold, so what I thought would help more than a review is a heads up to the painting defects that you may get on your copy.
This toy is a reissue of the Takara version rather than the Hasbro version, meaning the white is far brighter than the off white chosen on the original Hasbro release. The face is turquoise rather than silver along with other paint app differences which you can see in the gallery contrasting the two original toys.

This reissue, at least my copy, suffers from paint issues in two areas. The face is not properly painted with the paint not covering the entire face and leaving it unpainted as it gets nearer to the eyes. You can see below how the original does not have that problem. There is also an issue with the legs but this one was also found on the original. There is a gap where they are supposed to come together flush. However, this gap is further highlighted by the seam not being properly painted, leaving a white line going down the legs.

But aside from that, the toy feels fine, similar in quality to the original Beast Wars toys and all the joints are nice and tight.

I have the Universe brown version of Primal and the 10th-anniversary release. I remember both being really, really good, with none of the issues that were mentioned. Has anyone else had problems with this release, it might be an isolated case.

These look like issues that could happen on any given copy of a toy.

The latest Transformers Beast Wars reissue toys have been found at Texas Walmarts. Tigatron was spotted by PopCultureJunk2 who posted their image on Twitter and Scorponok was spotted still in their case by TFfan1984prime who posted their image on the TFW2005 boards. Both of these are Walmart exclusives.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

Hype. Can’t wait until these show up in western Canada.

Thanks to Preternia on Twitter, we have our first look at the next offering from the Beast Wars Reissue line: Cybershark!

Cybershark was the original Beast Wars shark, transforming from a wicked robot to hammerhead shark. His base tooling would go on to be the inspiration for Beast Wars II Hellscream and Beast Wars Neo Sharpedge, while he would also get a Transmetal II toy that would eventually end up repainted into fan favorite character Sky Byte in Robots in Disguise.

Preternia was only able to offer the stock images, but we anticipate that a link on Walmart will be coming soon. It is estimated that Cybershark will retail for approximately $22.99, in line with the deluxe Cheetor and Tigatron releases.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Munkky wrote:Of all the old Beast Wars toys to reissue, Cybershark seems like an odd choice. My best guess as to why is that maybe Hasbro are making a new Cybershark toy in the near future (or a new Sky-Byte with the intention to repaint it into Transmetal 2 Cybershark), and this reissue ensures that the "Maximal Cybershark" trademark is freshly minted and ready to use for a new toy. This probably isn't the case, but it kind of makes sense to me.

Would be awesome if you were right
