Hasbro, PLEASE Re-Issue MORE G1 |

[@vincentcastor5978]

What I love about G1 is that these were childhood toys 30 years ago and each caricature has a certain energy attached to it. Even the sometimes messed up stickers, give the piece a level of nostalgia not seen in newer toys.

[@MetaKnight894]

Well Technically Takara already reissued G1 Galvatron in his proper color scheme and even included a diecast Matrix of leadership and chain.. they even included voice lines for galvatron in addition to his laser sound effects even though they're in Japanese but still definitely something worth mentioning..

[@Martynde]

I don’t consider a light purple to be his proper color scheme. He was a dark purple in the show; almost dark blue.

[@andrewrichards312]

Not sure if someone mentioned this, but Metroplex and the 86 Combiner teams were all originally partvof a cancelled Jizai Gattai ("freely combine") Diaclone subline and the torsos of the 86 Combiners are all designed to combine with Metroplex's city mode. Silverbot's fold out stabilising foot and the back of Onslaughts head both plug into slots on Metroplex's kneepads, while the 2 tabs on Hotspot's butt and the purple tab on Motormaster's butt, are acutally designed to plug into the loops on the insides of Metroplex's legs in robot mode. Btw, and you're really going to hate me for this. That isn't the grail version of Motormaster. The original Japanese releases of Onslaught, Silverbolt and Motormaster, all featured spring loaded launchers in base mode. That black strip on the base of Motormaster's base mode is where the launcher goes and its why there's that weird grey post that's springy and appears to do nothing on the Hasbro version. The Encore Bruticus release included the launcher version of Onslaught, however the Takara versions of Silverbolt and Motormaster are still rare as hens teeth. Funnily enough the Containercar and Fighterplnce KO sets, do feature the launcher versions of Motormaster and Silverbolt respectively.

[@Cwronaga216]

If you ever want a modern reissue or modern remold of that really old Skyfire mold I recommend just buying one of the Bandai hi metal vf-1 Valkyrie toys since that characters design is taken directly from Macross Robotech and as part of a separate franchise

[@elijahjarman2837]

I was looking more at the kitzconceptz one, but would you reccomend the Hi metal-r over this?

[@COMBOY]

Authentics Arcee is a nice placeholder for G1 Arcee, while the transformation could be kind of fiddly, both the robot and car mode match very well with the G1 toys aesthetics.

[@vthings001]

It's cool that younger collectors are into our old toys. I'm not a big fan anymore of them though. The new stuff is so much better than what we had before. The old Menasor is hard to find?

That original Valkyrie toy is amazing. 2000s-level articulation in a 1980s toy. I was able to get a knock-off pretty cheap (colours are wrong and no FAST-packs, but otherwise pretty accurate) and it holds up amazingly well. The only G1 toy that out-does its Classics version pretty much hands-down.

[@dangeorge809]

Kind of amazing when you consider the Valkyrie was the very first transformer, or at least the first to gain any popularity. Was amusing (but unsurprising) to find out more recently that its designer, Shoji Kawamori, was part of the design team at Takara that designed Convoy (Optimus Prime).

[@elijahjarman2837]

Okay, so it's probably already been said, but g1 jetfire cannot be LEGALLY reissued. It's based off the takatoku toys 1/55 Macross Super valkyrie, or the Robotech Valkyrie fast pack, depending on your location Takatoku is owned by bandai and is the largest rival to Tomy., so that's a bust Hasbro was/still is hated by Harmony Gold, (HG sued HB because of the GI JOE Skyfire jet-stryker) mainly because Hasbro used that particular toy the year before Harmony Gold could, so yeah...

[@dangeorge809]

The Bandai no-gos also extend to the Autobot Deluxe Vehicles (Whirl and Roadbuster) and the Deluxe Insecticons. These were also designs that were acquired by Bandai from Takatoku and licensed to Hasbro. The Takatoku/Bandai Valkyries are 1/55.

As some one who bought the limited edition macross toy, it was indeed a bit poo.

I have a handful of original G1 toys in my collection and I'd love to get more. But some of the prices I've seen are just ridiculous.

Had some steals though. Got a G1 Prowl, Smokescreen & Mirage for $110 including shipping. No boxes or instructions for any of them. I also have 2 of the original G1 Constructicons, and as much as I'd love to complete that set, there's no way in all the hells that I can justify $298 for a chance of getting maybe decent ones.

Consider that G1 Jetfire’s base mold, Takatoku Toy’s VF-1 Valkyrie, was released in its first deco to coincide with the release of the Super Dimensional Fortress Macross anime in 1983…at the same time as most of the Diaclone cars/Waruder bugs and Microchange toys were released pre-Transformers. This thing was a god damn *sledgehammer* of engineering for its day. No(real) partsforming? Little undercarriage (that even then IS screen accurate to its source material)? A fully humanoid robot form? Non-essential articulation? Damn, Shoji Kawamori and co, this thing went hard by early 80s toy standards. You know it’s a good design when nearly 40 years later, most modern Valks use more or less the same transformation as the original toy.

Reissues are the the way to go. Some people do gravitate towards KO for the originals that will never be reissued which I am not greatly opposed to as long as they are marketed as KOs and not originals and have something on the figure indicating as such. 3D printing is a great way to help replace parts that were missing over the years as well.

A g1 reissue of Jetfire would be a legal nightmare, might as well reissue Gobots!

[@trycon40]

hasbro need to re issue G1 figures with gold plastic syndrome and this time remove that defect

[@setaside2]

I have the latest Macross limited piece. It's gorgeous. I don't know where you heard it was poo... If it is, it's gilded and bronzed poo. A beautiful figure. I have the original edition of G1 Jetfire that still had the OG Macross logo on the wing. He is also a beautiful thing.

The reviews on ShowZ are not flattering.

@@UnChannelDuVulpineX I'm an internet rando but my review is highly positive 😂 mind you I have been collecting TF since the 80s so I do have standards, at least.

I'm giving you a like because I like your channel, but I don't like that you call out that these toys are older than you cause it makes me feel old. I don't like feeling old, but I love the young blood coming into the fandom. You're what keeps it goes and keeps it improving! Also, my first statement is meant in jest. I'm just teasing. I know that doesn't always come across in text. :)

I got a Jetfire from eBay last month. I still have my own original '86 Jetfire but that is quite yellow. One major difference on the one I bought recently (other than the almost completely white plastic!) is that the leg pivots swing in unison, which mine did not. Noticed on your transformation, yours also move in unison.

I've found that you can pretty easily reactivate the missile launcher, you just need to unscrew and shim it apart (it's glued in three pieces), then cut out two tabs and fit a pen spring. Took me a couple tries to find the right size spring but now it'll launch a good 3-4 feet.

Hasbro reissued G1 Hot Rod and need to reissue G1 Rodimus Prime

[@Jetblast01]

SKYfire is just a Macross toy with an Autobot logo lmao. It would be fitting if they did a movie Galvatron G1 toy considering how Legacy has his movie and G1 toy colors.

[@joegarza4869]

I don't think Hasbro can reissue Jetfire. I think it's impossible with all the legal stuff with harmony gold and Bandai

[@JollyMcCrowner]

He DID say he wanted the Galvatron on Comodim Cam.

[@Atlas-hu9wk]

I want the stunticons to reissue, not sure why Hasbro do it. Pretty sure they will sell.
