God if only I had $140 to drop on him. But then I'd have to drop $120 on Stepper as well! My wallet can't handle those numbers.

Looking forward to some Artfire goodness. Now if someone would just do a G1 re-issue.

This isn't going to be a G1 repaint is it? It will be a repaint of the Voyager toy right? Either way still fun and exciting news. I almost jumped and pre-ordered upon reading but I hit the brakes.

Now why would I ask for a G1 re-issue if this was a G1 release?
That is the voyager Classics Inferno mold shadowed in the pic (with some new stuff).

All you guys need to just wait BBTS out for about 6 months. Those will come down in price DRASTICALLY, like they always do. BBTS has 317 of them STILL IN STOCK!!! On the Stepper!!! they keep raping people on those imports. They need to learn a lesson in greed. When people stop paying their insanely jacked up prices and then wait them out til they reduce them. Its great, Ive done it with many exclusives from there in the past. And Im waiting patiently for Stepper to drop now,lol.

That would be awesome. Stepper was one of the most under appreciated reissues in my opinion. The reissue is better than the original by far.

I really hope that since Inferno and Grapple were different molds that they were able to pick between the 2 to make kind of a hybrid mold unique to Artfire. The would be really awesome AND worth the money IMHO.

I'm going to wait for a proper image of the toy but if it's as good as Stepper is i'll be all over this.

while i like the figure, the combo cost for the book and toy are a bit pricey for me
probably will grab the book first; then if the price goes down on the toy, then i may grab it

Got this guy on preorder but may cancel depending on how Hasbro's upcoming Japan-only voyager Hotspot looks. He'll also probably be half the price.

Hasbro doesn't sell Transformers in Japan. TakaraTomy does.
