Really really keen on that Hatchet.
I made an assumption this was a two-pack, but it looks like it's two separate figures.
Hound is a must for my collection (and I'm already a bit nervous in getting him...)
So much for me buying that Siege Hound with the thought they'll never do an earth mode of him.
Looks like they are finally doing a Hatchet toy. I hope they do a boxset with Crowbar and Crankcase, but with Crankcase actually looking like Crankcase this time.
I never thought I'd replace the excellent Henkei Hound on my shelf, but this Earth Mode Hound looks incredible.
Huh. I was happy enough with Siege Hound (although I was definitely getting the endlessly rumoured Earth-mode Hound if and when it surfaced), but wow, that is looking much better than I expected. It's almost as if they've been paying attention to 3rd party toys :)
Also, sure, there's a reasonable good chance that these will turn up on retail shelves here just like BB Kup and Cliffjumper finally have, but there's also a reasonably good chance it won't; I'm not playing that lottery, and I suggest you don't either. I'll be snagging this as soon as it arrives anywhere online (which probably means The Falcon's Hangar).
How good does Hound look. I'm in!
Where are they? I haven't seen them anywhere.Quote:

I'm excited by this Hound as I thought the Siege/Netflix one was not right robot-wise and definitely not jeep-wise. Yet again we get G1 cartoon toys that I feel could have been made many years ago, making other moulds redundant (going off on my conspiracy theories again... sorry). Still, I'll say it again - it's the golden age of G1 collecting.
This is the second Hatchet toy; the first one was the Cyberverse Commander Class figure back in 2011.Quote:

I really love my Henkei Hound, he's one of the only survivors of old CHUG on my Autobots shelf, but it's hard to deny the sheer cartoon-ness of this guy. At least he was in IDW, he can find a second home there.
Knowing Hasbro, there'll only be one Hound per case of eight.Quote:

Yeah I think I meant to say Studio Series Hatchet (or at least a proper Hatchet that transforms into a Chevy Suburban) as I have te Cyberverse figure.Quote:
