What unsuccessful toys wouldnt hurt to be remade?

G1 Galvatron
Powermaster Prime he looked too big and kinda Amrada/Energon lookin' but he was still a great toy.

Are there statistics somewhere that denote how successful a certain toy was? Where is the evidence that the G1 Galvatron toy was either successful or unsuccessful?

I think he means toys with crappy articulation, easily broken, crappy-looking-toy-but-neat-character, etc, etc...

Toys remade in the sense of Alternators/Masterpieces (Convoy/Prime)/Robot Masters or homages like they're doing with Energon?

Oh right. Well I agree with you on Galvatron's head, but the rest of him was reasonably cool. More than average articulation of arms and legs, silly blippy sounds with the aid of a square battery. I remember being really pleased with him when I got him for Christmas, and also wondering why they changed the headcrest design in the cartoons and comics.

Usually they would redesign a face if it had little in the way of human features e.g. redesigning Brawn, Windcharger and Bumblebee's faces from their toy versions. But Galvatron they just change the helmet a bit. It wasn't awful to begin with. Not by any means great, but not awful either.

I suppose they thought they couldn't get away with giving Optimus a mouth though.

It was Marvel who were responsible for the final designs.

What about them who didn't get a toy at all, like impaktor, deathshead, arcee, alphatrion.....

Cliffjumper · Post by **Cliffjumper** » Thu Nov 25, 2004 7:31 pm

They wouldn't be remakes, would they?

Yeh, blah blah, Japanese convention, Botcon, Energon, Micron Legend, eat my ****.

Mind, I'd be surprised if at some point Takara didn't release a "G1" Arcee.

Prowlpants made a figure of impaktor, deathshead, xaaron, rak-n-ruin....

I geus that was pretty stupid of me.
But if they cant bring megatron back as a gun, they kan still make him supermegatron. major badass in the japanise, enemy of starconvoy, and he transforms to a jet.
