Some news catch up from earlier today. While I was running to New York Comic-Con 2022, Hasbro and Walmart released pre-orders for three exciting new exclusives! The first is the Galaxy Shuttle first revealed yesterday. The other two figures however were pleasant surprises: Vintage G1 reissues of Hot Rod and Starscream. However, instead of using pure vintage colors, these two figures have new decos based on their appearance in the animated Transformers: The Movie film! The figures are each packed in G1 shaped boxes (with the big flap on top) but featuring spectacular new artwork by long time Transformers artist Marcelo Matere!
The pre-orders on Hasbro Pulse sold out in no time but you can still pre-order on Wal-Mart's web site via the links below. I have also mirrored the product descriptions and images in this post:
