Yeah. Not so much the other two.

That is the Goldbug update I have been waiting over 30 years for.

Is that the same head as SG Goldbug, or a new Goldbug head? Given that SS86 Blurr has three unique heads that are all Blurr, I wouldn't be completely surprised.

Alternate heads for Skywasp & Sccorponok too! Oh. Cock.

Given that SS86 Blurr has three unique heads that are all Blurr, I wouldn't be completely surprised. I don't think it is completely. I think I remember someone trying to put SG Goldbug's head on to the Netflix Bumblebee body, and discovering that the Cliffjumper and VW molds had different neck connectors, and it didn't quite work. So there will have been some minor remolding at least here.

Can't wait to pony up £90 at some future point for Goldbug and a box of crap.

I think they look slightly different myself, but I can't be bothered to get the SG one upstairs to check.

Yes, if you're going to have an open box, at least design it so customers can have a good look at the product. Otherwise, it's pointless and may as well be closed.

Leave poor Terrorsaur alone. It's just because he is completely naked from the waist down and the intricate realistic detailing on these figures has improved tremendously over the years. Hasbro probably thought it wouldn't sell if his privates were on full display in the toy shop but would make an amusing suprise for anyone when they open the box.

Creatures Collide: Goldbug: fab. Just what it ought to be
Ransack: SUPERB. Really hits the mark with just a new head & paint job. I was expecting it to be good but this is REALLY Good
Skywasp: Wasn't expecting much here, didn't like the two previous uses of the mould. But in hand the colour scheme is AMAZING, especially the head. Never liked the prototype but the clear wings knock it up a level. And superb red lightpiped eyes.
Scorponok: Looks much better with these colours, especially with the mutant head. Mould is still a bit meh though. Really pleased with this set! Has anyone pointed out this follows the same pattern as Worlds Collide? Type | Worlds Collide | Creatures Collide | Bumblebee | Bumblebee | Goldbug | G1 Remake | Fangry | Ransack | Toy Version | Blackarachnia | Scorponok | New | Nemesis Primal | Skywasp |

Yeah, it seems to be the perfect pattern for getting collectors to pick it up - there’ll be at least one that they want.

Yeah, if I get any Terrosaur it'll be that one - those colours look so much better. Although I'm also waiting for ID to reveal when they'll be getting their next stock of the Creature Collides pack in... I'm starting to suspect it'll be never.

1st August I thought they said? Ah, maybe. I thought they said "next week" or something at the time, but that could have been updated before they removed the original post. I shall wait, then - and not pay hefty import fees.

Aha. Buried in a comment on a post made on the day I was recovering from that vomiting bug and on which Johnson's premiership was collapsing - no wonder I didn't spot it. Ta for digging that out - I shall remain vigilant!
