Walmart has launched the store page for their long anticipated exclusive Retro G1-Inspired Seaspray figure. The figure will be part of their Collector Con on July 24 and go on sale at 7am PT with actual release expected in October. This appears to be an entirely new, never before seen before mold which may make it a harder figure to get than the previous releases in this line, Gears and Bumblebee.

The following description is on the page:

Re-experience the nostalgia of your favorite G1 action figures with the Transformers Retro Autobot Seaspray toy! Toy converts from robot to boat in 22 steps. Seaspray displays a zest for his job unmatched by fellow Autobots. He loves the ocean and its creatures, and he loves the thrill of naval battle. Transformers Retro G1 action figures feature vintage styling, accessories, and special package art and tech specs. Clip out and save the on-box tech specs to share, then see how this figure stacks up against other heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons.

Meanwhile, TFW2005 has posted what is likely our first look at Brawn in the line based on SS86 Brawn. Like the rest of the line he'll be in G1 toy colors, but unlike Bumblebee will feature a new toy-style head. This does not appear to be part of the Collector Con so it's anyone's guess when it'll be available to order.

Let us know what you think of these figures over in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!

Very cool! He's a proper Seaspray! Will try to get him and that Brawn, though I've still no managed to get Gears. These head resculpts DO beg the question, why no toy head for Bumblebee?

Looks like Seaspray got fired from Domino's Pizza.

Best guess is that the G1 reissue of Bee they released had the cartoon face so they were referencing that. But if that's the case they really should have given him blue eyes (and a silver bumper).

Yeah. Wish he'd have the toy face. I have a soft spot for the toy faces. I generally consider the toy designs and colours as correct (RIRFIB for me) but admit it does not always hold true. I prefer Dinobots with toy style red eyes but Swoop should always have a blue chest. It's weird how preferences work.

I found the answer for why Bumblebee didn't use the Goldbug head:

Did you forgot the previous TR Seaspray? He was a pizza delivery guy.

So the obvious question is, why did they move factories? Takara Tomy uses the same factory as Hasbro when it's a figure they share molds on. It's also weird that the head isn't with this mold when we've seen it used with both the VW mold and the Cliff mold. You'd think the head would go with a part the two types had in common.

BTW, Brawn is now on Walmart.com and the price jumped up to $30 since I wrote about Seaspray! https://www.walmart.com/ip/TRA-GEN-RETR?wmlspartner=FYAGeMjDX6c&=&affs=p&wid=5b6b4213e4b0bcb699adeb9f&u1=&oid=223073.10006940&sourceid=37141976172661509211&affillinktype=3&veh=aff ... pe=REGULAR

Looks cool but I’d love a straight up G1 re-release of the original mold.

Well, this is my guess, but recall that the mold was first released as Cliffjumper, and has had alternate heads for its releases as Bumblebee/Bug Bite, Hubcap, and SG/G1 Goldbug. I'd wager that the Cliffjumper and Bee/Bite heads were pretooled for the mold from the onset, while the Hubcap and Goldbug heads were later toolings created after the mold's initial tooling (which would include the two pretooled heads) and thus aren't attached to the mold inherently like the pretooled heads are.
