I actually think that figure looks WAY better as Minerva than as Elita, tbh. Walgreens sure is a weird choice of stores to carry an exclusive though.

news.tfw2005.com/2022/06/23/transformers-june-livestream-recap-velocitron-red-shattered-glass-and-more-458963#more-458963Velocitron set for Wal-Mart officially revealed. They won't be released until a Wal-Mart con (Wal-Mart has CONVENTIONS now?) in July. IDW Blurr, Override, Hauler, Clampdown, and Scourge are all things we've seen before. New are Burnout (female Black Diaclone Skids with new head), Road Rocket (G2 Road Rocket colors on Arcee with a new head and paintjob), and Cosmos (he's a chonker). Also up for pre-order later today is a two pack Shattered Glass Wheeljack/Slicer and Exo-Suit (a redeco of Battlizer Fast Track colored like Black Zarak's spear) which the devs did show off rebuilding into a mode that resembles Slicer's buggy accessory.

Man.. Scourge looks REALLY nice. I'm obligated to get him and hunt down Laser Prime now.

I absolutely loved Tonka trucks as a kid and obviously my fondness for the Constructions (which in fairness, I probably inherited from said Tonka trucks) is well known, so that one would have been an instant buy if I learned about him before he instantly sold out. Glad it's not the Combiner Wars mold, though, that one I would have actually contemplated spending too much on. Not paying scalper prices, but if BBTS puts him up at something reasonable, or Pulse restocks, I'll grab him. The Street Fighter figs look as absolutely terrible as the old Star Wars transformers did. Stop trying to make peoplerobots, Hasbro. It doesn't work. That said, 1000 internet cool points to whoever did that photoshoot, putting the toys in poses from the game is absolutely hilarious.

The funny thing is I would be interested in Bison and Chun-Li, as their implementation mostly works for me. Bison's fleshtones are fairly limited and his uniform design leads to a fairly good looking robot mode and excellent looking alt modes, while Chun-Li's fleshtones are fairly limited and don't show at all in vehicle mode, making for a fairly cool transformation. But both of them are paired with Ryu and Ken respectively, which I don't like at all. So I don't plan to get either of them.

That may be my first pass on a Core figure. Core Soundwave is great, but this is just another one of him.
Descriptions suggest the SFTF's are US style Headmasters who are binary-bonded to the accompanying bot? I actually think it would make more sense if they were just Masterforce style Transtectors given the robot bodies are styled after the human.

I am still waiting for some one to remake Pretenders. I would empty my shelves for some new pretenders

I just hope Pulse gets some in like Kingdom Red Alert. Walgreens themselves are so slow to get in their own exclusives. Also digging the new Velocitron Hauler, Override, and Cosmos. I want to like Scourge, but the pink.in his shoulders us hard to ignore. Also really surprised Hasbro got the go ahead to use the VW bug remold again. I figure it was locked up as a Walmart exclusive (the same way Hasbro says the Netflix Soundwave remold is). But I really like the set. The toy colors on Scorponok actually look better than the show accurate one.
