With the high parts count Retrax is, I bet the price will be close to leader class, l8ke Scorponok.
Thank God I already have mine.
This is a bad Transformers, but in a cool and silly way.

Retrax, more than any other figure, deserved something modern and BETTER to come from this:
Not a reissue of the original gimmick-ruined figure.

Gosh, I remember having this toy as a kid.
It's features included "Be a Ball" and "Give hugs." Always wondered why silly bug hug man wasn't in the show when I was little.
I also remember it being a really flimsy toy that didn't quite lock in place correctly.

So at this point are they just finding molds in antique stores and going “Hey look what I found! Let’s make this one!”

I really don't know what the actual thought process was behind this one? Surely not popularity??

Funny you should say it like that, as someone elsewhere recently found a 1985 McDonalds Happy Meal G1 Gears in an antique store.Flashwave wrote:So at this point are they just finding molds in antique stores and going “Hey look what I found! Let’s make this one!”

That's quite the find, that promotion only happened in a few states.

Still waiting on that Retrax mold into mini-Unicron.

Same. And I just scored a Powerhug in box for under $15 on Mandarake so I'm completely set. Although... I might just get this one just to say I have all versions.
I was 17 when Retrax came out and I've always loved that figure. The unique head sculpt, the clear shell, the paint, the roll up feature that's pure genius, it's just a fun toy even if it isn't a particularly great action figure.

Isn't Retrax one of the worst selling BW figures and was still found on shelves during Armada?

Transquito was, though.

Transquito is amazing but the rotating joint of the bug legs at the arms aged badly. First one shattered and and I repaired it. Now it's the second one who just broke on me.
Unless these bugs legs are not meant to rotate at the arm and I messed up?

There's my boy!
I've already got one, but good to see others will get to enjoy him too now! If goofy bad toys are their thing I mean. I love him, but he IS crap.

I have mine too and it's one of those toys that I can't bury in storage.
It's one of those bad toys that their badness actually make them good. Like Armada Sideswipe and his mold brothers.

And Scavenger, Inferno, and B'boom, at least in my area. I don't recall any Deluxes shelf warming, not even Injector.
