Arcee is a total pass.
Sky Lynx looks fantastic.
I love Takara's site, it's so nice and gimmicky. lol

Oooh man, the gold accents on Sky Lynx are pure joy. And the gold plated head is awesomesauce.
May have to drop that cash to get this bad boy.

Skylynx is a puma? Then what's with the "lynx" in his name?
Also, could someone please translate Skylynx's story? I wanna read it, but it's not in English.

Tak/Tomy should really offer an English translation option on their site. Given the slumping JPN toy marketplace a lot of their sales are coming from overseas and English speaking countries specifically. Not hard to do that at all IMHO!

That Arcee sucks.
Sky Lynx will be a buy for me.
And stockade looks much better than the usa version.

Wholeheartedly agreed. I've got to pick up that SkyLynx.
Does SkyPuma sound better to you? besides, they're both cats, so don't be like Magnus and deal with it.

I noticed that Skylynx is marked "Encore Special" unlike the other reissues. I wonder what that refers to.

Why all the hate on Black Arcee? It's better than Hasbro's icky Fuscia.
I'm buying one
I just can't get excited for that Skylynx toy, I hated him as a kid and I still think that he sucks.

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, SKYLYNX TOY THINK YOU SUCK!
All joking aside, Sky Lynx is actually cool, but he's definitely not worth the price they're commanding right now.
There are many other G1 figures that deserve a reissue (and we're getting one of those, Omega Supreme) and it's a shame.

He looks like he fits the Lynx more than the Puma. But that's just me....

Did the Lynx component have it's own character? Or was it just a machine under Skylynx's control?
I'd buy the Encore for $40/$50 maybe if I had the spare dough but not at the current $80+ price tag.

From the way it looked (and sounded) one brain, two modules. Once combined, twice the strength, twice the power, etc.

Yeah, it's $80, but I'm all over that reissue like dino-bird on a puma.
I've actually never even SEEN a Sky-Lynx in person, but always drooled over it in the catalogues...
...same thing for the upcoming Omega Supreme. What a great way to spend money until Animated and Classicsverse 2.0!

I agree. Hasbro can learn from Takara on making a TF site. Too bad I can't read Japanese.

Indeed. Who knows what "hidden" gems we might be missing?
