Hey, Autobot Constructicons! Names are... interesting. They love the word "mega" apparently.

Tonkanator
Mega Dozer
Power Digger
Motorload
Skyhook
Mega Hauler
Motormix

I wonder if they were going to just name the guy Hauler before they realized it was not only already taken but being used by Walmart for Road Hauler.

Pretty neat, ordered mine for $105.

I wonder if the Street Fighter toys are just leftovers from a few years ago. It'll be obvious when the packaging is revealed I guess. Seems odd since not much is going on with Street Fighter right now.

william-james88 wrote:Those prices are utter nonsense


For Devastator Tonka Deco I agree. I was also about to agree for the Street Fighter toys as well, but it seems Hasbro being able to offer these directly has kept cost down somewhat. Still in light of these being based on toys from 4 years ago, with the tools already made, but cost of materials going up, I guess it's an even trade.

Lastly, depending truly if these are leftovers, or newly made toys, the originals went on sale before leaving most online retailers. Unless Hasbro's quantities are extremally in short supply there is a good chance these will go on sale as well. I just dont see Street Fighter as a hot IP right now.

Don't forget, if you have a RedCard you save 5% which on Tonkanator ended up being about what taxes cost (you also get free shipping) so ordering via Target if you have the card makes more sense than Pulse ;)^

Since they're calling it Street Fighter II and not trying to keep up with the hype and calling it Street Fighter VI it'll probably just be the same box with a slip cover/outer box, Hasbro loves those.

The $30 mark up on Tonkanator over the $75 price that the reissue from 2019 is a blatant cash grab on Hasbro's part. There's no way it costs that much more to produce in three years, especially when they own Tonka so there's no gratuitous license fees involved this time.

Shame it looks like the Tonka logo is tampographed on rather than a sticker, they really didn't want people using this as G2 Devastator. I kinda like the use of black instead of purple, though there are G2 KOs that do the same thing. :lol:

The Tonka Devastator is surely worth a smile (not any real money though, sorry Hasbro).

Shame they never released Constructicons in Diaclone colors as the Constructibots or something like that.

might have paid £105 if tonkatron was die cast metal but I thought the encores were over priced back when and skipped on them despite collecting all reisues. Tampos are often really nice on the reissues like with hoist etc.

Think I'd have preferred a CW repaint or evn if Hasbro KO'd the undersized KO rather than the G1 figures

I had zero interest in them before when they were a Takara/Tomy release and that interest is the same now that Hasbro is releasing them. Tonkatron, nice little set but nof'ing way would I pick it up at 70 or the current cash grab price.

The SF guys being reissued is nice, but I don't really care for.

But that Tonka Devastator is absolutely awesome and it's a brilliant repaint. Too bad it's so freakishly expensive.

I would have definitely preferred the Titan remold for the simple reason that it was never repainted before.

The last Walmart reissue of the G1 constructicons were 100$CAN and I thought that was expensive. At 110$US, I can't imagine what the Canadian price will be. 170$CAN?

Because reusing the G1 mold for the 999th time is easy mode.

The G1 molds also fit much better with the original Tonka GoBots molds, as I feel like the names are meant to sound vaguely GoBots-y.

Yes, do you? They were $75 in 2019, there's no way they've gone up $30 in 3 years. Even Encore in 2011 and 2013 could be had for $70 at the right shop at Japanese prices. I didn't hesitate to order it, which probably makes me part of the problem, but at the same time I want more reissues and want to support them. It's not a great situation that Hasbro puts us in sometimes.

Over $100 for a dialled-in G1 Devvy with the words "Tonka" randomly plonked on it and some Autobot symbols? Hasbro must think that there are some real chumps in this community if they think they will sell in any significant numbers. They didn't event bother to offer remolded accessories (head, chest, etc).

I suppose next, Hasblo will release a set of smaller-than-the-original, green, plastic faux-Tonka trucks with a Deception symbol on them and charge $100 a pop too?

We can easily get KO Yellow Devastators too:

- https://m.aliexpress.com/wholesale/tran ... t=Pc2Msite

- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GYP6ed_vBUs

I'm sure I've seen the G2 version "knocking about" fairly often too.


As for the SF2 figs, I passed on those when they were released domestically, so I'm not bothering with them now. They look bloody awful.

Now THAT I'd buy.

Devastator was always one of my favorites, but we've moved on from G1 toy design limitations. The individual members should be at least be fully articulated Core class bots by now.

Hasbro isn't even trying and doesn't care who knows.

I picked up the SF2 figures from TFSource during the 2019 Black Friday sale. Ken vs. Chun-Li was $60 and Ryu vs. Vega/Bison was $90. I'm much happier with those prices than either the original prices or the current prices. Plus I got a free figure for my order over $300.

And I couldn't care less for more G1 reissues. I've moved past G1 figures a long time ago. I had them, I loved them, I no longer need/want them. But it's great for those of you who still want them. I just can't wait for this to go on steep clearance just like all the reissues did except for Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime, PMOP and maybe one or two others over the two decades or so they've been doing them outside of Japan.

I'm like some of the others who have commented and would've been down for Tonkanator done from UW Devastator. UW over CW of course as it seems Hasbro doesn't shy away from Takara toolings anymore.

So these are all easy passes for me but not because I don't like them.

I wonder if Hasbro will be reissuing the Takara Star Wars Transformers. Not because I don't have them already but because Han and Chewie are some of my favorite female Transformers and others need to own them. Yes, they're female lol. Han has a HUGE monoboob shelf and not in a Jazz or Prowl kind of way but an Arcee kind of way. It even has high heels and what could pass for Anode's head. Chewie's torso and head looks feminine to me as well. They both have hot pants on too. Chewie also has the open hand like the Rust Renegades. Han has inward elbow joints to have hand on hip poses. Just a little fun but they are indeed female in my collection. They are good toys along with Darth Vader though. And Chewie doesn't crumble to dust.

Oh wait no sorry, they can't bring them over. They have waffles and hollow forearms where the hands were. I don't think the fandom is ready to know that their lords and saviors at Takara do that even without Hasbro involvement. Some still don't acknowledge that waffling isn't new and has been around since G1 and that Beast Wars might have some of the most egregious examples. I wonder what they'd think if they found out that intrusive gimmicks are most likely Takara's doing too if Daigunder and Web Diver are any indication. I'm just having some fun again but am kinda serious.

Count me into the crowd who would have loved a repaint of the Titan class Devastator, not just because it hasn't been done before, but also because I remember Tonka trucks being huge when I was a kid. So if this was a Titan, I would most likely display them as a set of 6 vehicles most of the time.

As for the SF figures, I think it's a neat concept, but I don't like the mold or the paintjob for Hot Rod Ken, and the TR Megatron mold just sux, so pass. I wouldn't mind Ryu Prime and Chun-Li Arcee (Chun-cee?) though.

Motto: "Can't do a job halfway. What's worth doing is worth doing well, I say."
Weapon: Saber Blade
For me, the main appeal of this Tonkanator set is that, the Tonka-specific labeling aside, it feels an awful lot like something that would have been done in the Car Robots/RiD 2001 line.

A redeco of a vintage mold as all-new characters, and specifically as a construction-themed Autobot combiner. They feel like they could be both direct rivals of Baldigus/Ruination and associates of the Buildmasters/Build Team.

Were I to get this set, I'd put it with my CR/RiD'01 Autobots.

It's way too expensive, but please, someone who does buy it, please take pictures of some Titan Class figures playing with their Tonka trucks. Seems about the right scale.
