We had seen that the G1 reissue of Hound in cartoon colours was made available for fans wanting Transformers toys first (like Chefatron) through Asian retailers, so a video "review" was inevitable, and we now have one on Christmas day. While many know the classic transformation, this video will show you what the cartoon deco looks like in all angles in both modes. There are no comments, just music. While there is no chrome, the die cast has apparently not been replaced by plastic. This toy has yet to be revealed by Hasbro.

Nice to see a G1 TF that hasn't been reissued to death. I don't think Hound has been released since the TFC series.

Despite the no-show of chrome, if it's prices similarly as Starscream and Hotrod, I'm getting it.

So I guess I'm the only one not impressed by this? It's nice that G1 hound is getting some attention, but I just don't like the shade of green or his build in general. Oh well, more for you guys. I just think Hasbro could have done better.

Most are unimpressed with the execution. The excitement comes from another opportunity you own an iconic G1 toy.

I like it. As a cartoon color figure I think it pulls it off well, chrome wouldn't have fit that aesthetic. Not surprised they kept the diecast, probably would have cost more to make new plastic molds than to just keep the diecast intact. It's not as easy as filling the diecast molds with plastic, they don't even go in the same molding machines.

I believe this has more to do either with appealing to metal fans, or with structural integrity that plastic would otherwise compromise. Besides, metal pieces are solid, something unheard of for plastic pieces.

I really like it and I hope we see this series in New Zealand. I'm very excited to see what other figures are coming!

Indeed, I've broken a lot of die cast in my time. Die cast refers to the molding process rather than the quality of the metal so as long as it isn't toxic any hard metal or blend will do.

The G1 Starscream reissue in cartoon deco was found at a Walmart in California. Other fans have reported finding it in other Walmart stores, where it is an exclusive, while some fans also reported asking the staff about this item and being told it would only be available online. The photo below comes to us from Emmanuel who posted it in the Facebook group Transformers Botposting.

I posted finding that on the toy haul thread
on the 6th
I didn't know this was here..whatever..
I won't open it unless I get another one.
I like the art and the plastic free packaging.
It does look out of place with other reissues..
But I still like it.

The minions spotted one, but I ordered them to pass. Frankly, when I compare them to the Earthrise seekers, the original G1 seekers are totally outclassed.

My own personal reasons.
But Starscream reissues at retail.. I'm weak

The holiday season isn't always obvious for us and we are very short staffed. if ever you have something newsworthy, send it to us by clicking the submit news on the site so that as many eyes as possible see it.

Just pointing out that my preorder for Toon G1 Screamers is on the move from Walmart.ca.
I'll never see the thing in store but at least the online order deliver.

I have Starscream and Hot Rod ordered through Walmart.com, they were supposed to ship on January 12th but are now delayed. No idea when or if I'll get them.

Delayed by Walmart.com? Then they're probably as good as cancelled.
