I want the rest of the Diaclone repaints! Riggorus, Reboost, Loud Pedal and red Mirage. I think Reboost and Mirage have a certain likelihood on the basis of being red (potential Target exclusives). Loud Pedal and Reboost already had names so that helps their chances, and now Riggorus - yellow Trailbreaker has finally been named. Trailbreaker is an Earthrise mold so perhaps less likely to be released again (though Twintwist still happened), Reboost is a Legacy mold so perhaps more likely.
Loud Pedal is an unpopular mold but has only been used twice, whereas the rest have been used multiple times. So which one (if any) gets a figure is far from obvious. My gut tells me Mirage is most likely, but my brain tells me Reboost (update: Mirage got mentioned by Hasbro at SDCC!).
If I was being really crazy, the Trailbreaker mold would be a good option for G1 Scorch, if they fancied doing more Turbomasters (though I suppose Hoist would technically be a better choice), they could do a Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus style release with two heads, or two backpacks, to cover both bases.
There’s also Diaclone Topspin, Insecticons, Dinobots and Constructicons, but I’m not so interested in them. A complete set of Diaclone cars would be something truly special. Omnibots (also mentioned at SDCC!) and an Overcharge would also be nice, surprised we haven’t had those. Blitzwing is a Legacy mold so still time I guess!
Got another Marvel Legends figure - Karnak. I like this pose I’ve got him in, but really, he’s nothing without his fellow Inhumans - where are Crystal, Gorgon, Triton and most importantly Lockjaw? Crystal and Lockjaw are on my most wanted list with Wolfsbane and classic (Ms. Marvel) Carol Danvers. If only there was a film with her coming out soon…….
I got the fourth Trainbot, I haven’t really messed with them much yet (I’m not a fan of Masterpiece complexity). I think once they’re all out I’ll decide how I’m going to display them. Choo choo.
Also got the new Guardians ship, just for the minifigs though:
Here come the Grimlocks. G2 Grimlock first, the colours are great! Between Bumblebee, Sunstreaker and the X-Men, dark yellow (‘gold’) is a great colour for toys. Need his other lost mates. Then Earthspark Grimlock, smaller than I was expecting and not great quality plastic but looks really good in both modes.
I remember when SDCC was the most exciting event of the year. MCU wise there wasn’t any particularly exciting news. The only Transformers reveal that I’m interested in was Nova Prime (which we already knew about), though some interesting stuff from the Q&Q. Marvel Legends, Mark II Iron Man was shown off (again, we already knew about that). Blade was a bit of a surprise and so I’ve immediately pre-ordered it. Other surprises were Marvel Selects Crimson Dynamo - looks good, and Mezco 3.75” TMNT - only 5 POA but look good. The next wave of of Jada’s Streetfighter has Guile (think will pass on Cammy), so a few decent bits at least.
I’ll get back to working on my Grimlock collection, the Robosen figure looks amazing but far too rich for my tastes.
