Back when Hasbro revealed the Walmart exclusive line of cancelled "G2" redecos, they gave us Grimlock's art instead of Toxitron's. So, we never got to actually see the box art for Toxitron... until now. In Demand Toys will be getting these toys in the UK and have the correct neon filled box art in their listing. Let us know what you think!

Wouldn't surprise me one bit when I opened the box and found a swapped Shredder inside.

EVERY TMNT product should have packaging art like this.

Somewhere SG Thundercracker is really upset right now.

And I agree about the purple tires, they completely ruin the vibe. If I do get the figure, those are getting painted black immediately.

As for G2 Grimlock, he better have his "Big Grim" shoulder tat .

I have a feeling the tires were gangmolded with other purple parts on the figure.

Whatever the reason, it doesn't work for him. Yes, I know he has a lot of purple and neon green parts anyway, but for some reason the tires are an eyesore for me. If the wheels had been purple and the tires black, that would've been fine. This way he looks like a psychedelic clown car, and not in a good way like Crosscut.

Am I the only one that likes the purple tires then? I don't like the red tires on Crosscut because he's just a normal car, but for Toxitron, who's anything but normal, I think the purple tires really suit his craziness.

I actually did this with 2 titan packages without the laminate (good tip by the way).

You're not alone.
The red tires on X-Cut are weird, but the purple tires on Toxitron works perfectly. All black wheels would look too "normal" on him and may even become "invisible". In purple, they POP.

What would be even cooler looking for the wheels is to have a mix of purple and black. Keep the gang molded purple on the outside, black on the inside (the surface where the tires would actually touch the ground).

Maybe some Reprolabels or a quick custom paintjob will fix that.

Had this rig belonged to the Joker then the purple wheels would be acceptable but it ain't the Joker's rig. They should have been black or dark gray just like the Toxitron's that came before. Hell this person thought so too...'nuff said!

Like I said before, the purple tires were likely the result of gang-molding.

Thanks to a listing on ebay, we have a potential first look at a figure likely intended for the Walmart exclusive Toxitron Collection. This line features characters in decos intended for their original toys, to be released in the G2 line of the 1990s. We can see Mirage here in his unreleased watermelon bubblegum pink and green G2 deco.

This figure appears to use the Kingdom Mirage mold, with alligator logos on the spoiler, and a G2 Autobot logo on the front of the vehicle mode. Whether this is a yet to be revealed figure, or will show up with no announcement or reveal from Hasbro or Walmart (similar to Crasher and G2 Dragstrip) is still to be seen.

Is this figure of any interest to you? Do you want to see even more unreleased decos on modern figures? Let us know your thoughts on this figure and what other G2 decos you might like to see in the comments below!

I hope distribution is better with him than toxitron. I contacted hasbro customer service about him today. They are not accepting questions about that figure. Come on! Galaxy shuttle never showed up at retail. Or on the Walmart website. Nor the app. Toxitron never showed up.

In general, I am in favor of these unreleased decos on molds that fit my collection asthetic. It gives us more unique repaint options and allows existing redecos from old molds or Retool a chance at staying power (example being the variety of Seekers we have gotten since Siege or different redecos of the two Mirage molds having more distinctiveness).

This though is just Bugly as heck. This probably should have stayed on the cutting room floor

Toxitron did? I was able to pre-order him. He isn't in stores yet because the product line hasn't been released.

I had Galaxy Shuttle Pre-Ordered. Walmart printed a shipping label, but the tracking never changed from "Pre shipment unfo sent to FedEx" as a FedEx employee I am 99% confidant in saying "we never received that package from Walmart." They printed the label and then never shipped my item. Unfortunately I had other things happening in my life and I didnt follow up on this in time. All I got was a refund and a $25 coupon for a figure that is being scalped at twice at least.

Sadly with the nature of these Exclusives Hasbro is not in control of the distribution. It's 100% on Walmart once the container leaves Hasbro's main warehouse, and I would not be surprised if Hasbro doesn't just ship that stuff straight to Walmart Main Distribution Center from the Port of LA or Vancouver or wherever these come in through, and washes their hands 9f responsibility entirely.

As much as I hate the f1 car mode (but not as much as dragstrip) Really nice but will def need repro labels to give it the Croc look and in the right places. Dunno why they put the detailing on the spoiler.

All I wanted was an answer. They produce it, just point me in the right direction. Plus after not seeing much on any aftermarket websites for a ton of money, it got me thinking. So I guess walmarts to blame. Or Hasbro for not delivering. Who knows. I just had my hopes up for some Walmart exclusives. Heck, I never saw wave 2 of velocitron.

I like these smoothie Transformers a lot. Hope to get Toxitron at some point for a not 80 euro's price. It's a fun/good mold already have Scourge (what a beast).

I hope they make more of these eyesore deco's. Hell, repaint a few more into the G1 Euro Exclusive Neon-Robots-Certainly-Not-In-Disguise decos.

All the Titans Return transformers and from there onward are great toys and in my opinion can always be repainted to sillyness

Thanks for the info.
All I would want are the Stunticons, but I’m worried about getting them.
Especially all 5.
So I’m trying to keep on top of the release.

Yeah, everything but Grimlock is wave 1, no clue why the pre-orders were split like they were. Also Sideswipe and Shadowstrip are in there somewhere.

Ouch, hard blow for people who missed him the first time. Hopefully that means 2 each per case and no single packed figures.

That was a misconception that lasted a few days because someone threw Wildrider's name into the mix and then realized later that they mixed up the names of the Stunticons. According to JTPrime posts, the Deluxe lineup has not changed from the original listings (Jazz, Mirage, Sideswipe, Dead End, Shadowstrip PR).
