Don't thinshame either. A Bulkhead can be allowed to thin down. Sometimes he's Hound, too.

Can someone school me on these G1 “reissues” on eBay? Stuff like various Scramble City teams on authentic looking card backs. Like, identical to the originals. It says straight up that they’re “reissues” but are they good?

I sure hope so, because I recently bought a “reissue” G1 Mirage!

So no, they are not good, have no elbows, no knees, no articulation. Hope this helps!

In the Transformers world, “knockoff” doesn’t always mean “poor quality”.

No but it's worth knowing these are not takara or hasbro releases. Some are very good. Some, like the Stunticon boxed set, are trash.

There are some real reissues - the Commemorative Series. I recently sold my Sideswipe from that line. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers:_Generation_One_Commemorative_Series There's also the Takara Transformers Collection series, I have a G1 Megatron from that. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers_Collection What TheDK said about articulation and design is all true though, they are G1 toys.

I’m ask because they’re cheaper than the originals (obviously) so I don’t quite mind if they’re authentic but I do mind if they are trash.

Some mold simplification and brittle plastics. But the box is great for display.

TFwiki has this to say about Mirage in particular: quote:The last of these offers, 1988's "The Autobots Are Under Attack!," marked the final release of the toy; the figure's mold was subsequently either lost or damaged, making him the only 1984 toy to never be reissued in any capacity. He has, however, been knocked off to high heaven in a variety of colors. e: you may have already known this!

Looked up the list. Known lost/stolen molds are: Generation 1 Grimlock Generation 1 Slag Generation 1 Sludge Generation 1 Snarl Generation 1 Swoop Generation 1 Mirage Generation 2 Go-Bot Hound (unreleased) Generation 2 Go-Bot "Mercedes-Benz SL500" (name unknown, unreleased) Beast Wars Basics Rattrap Beast Wars Basics Insecticon Beast Wars Basics Armordillo Molds rumored to be lost: Generation 1 Sunstreaker Molds initially thought to have been lost, but later turned out not to have been: Beast Wars Basics Terrorsaur Despite their impressive size and heft, molds can break and thereby be rendered useless. Known broken molds are: Generation 1 Wheeljack and Deterioration Molds can only be used so much before they begin to wear down and deteriorate. The mold is then unable to supply products of the same quality of the original release. This may result in toys where parts no longer fit together properly, joints are overly tight or overly loose, and sculpted detail appears "washed-out." Just compare the face of an original 1984 Generation 1 Prowl or Hound with a 2000-onwards reissue.[1] Molds specifically said to be worn out beyond a condition where further use is still viable include: Essentially all of the mass-released Armada Mini-Con teams. The 2001 Robots in Disguise Autobot Brothers: Prowl, Side Burn, and X-Brawn. Molds that seem to be on their way out include: The Alternators Subaru Impreza mold in its various incarnations started to show major signs of deterioration with Binaltech Asterisk Alert. The Generation 1 Combaticons. The Generation 1 Seacons are considered by many to have been beyond this point already when the Transformers Collectors' Club released the Timelines versions. The Generation 2 Cyberjets. Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime. Classics Voyager Optimus Prime. Classics Starscream. Masterpiece Starscream. Movie Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion Class Rippersnapper. Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) Legion Class Optimus Prime. Armada Unicron It is unclear exactly how many uses a mold can take; some of the various Mini-Con teams were released over a half-dozen different times in the space of four years. It is also speculated that the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime mold is long gone, as reissues share the toolings of the Generation 2 mold.

Couldn't they have put the cost and "effort" here into a Selects Devcon instead? Unless I'm the only one who wants a new Devcon...

Who would you even do a Selects Devcon OF? The only precedent is for a remold of Scourge, and the new SS Scourge doesn’t seem like it could pull it off

I want a Devcon, but Selects doesn’t feel like the place to do it. Nor do I think them doing another unrelated thing means such an idea was passed over.
