Will there be a an Earthrise Runabout?

[Tilarta]

I'm considering getting this:
Earthrise Runamuck

But I am uncertain if I only want half of the duo.

Are there any plans to recolor this mould to make Runabout as well?

It is sure to happen, but might be a Generation Select release exclusive

I'm surprised they didn't plan to release both Runamuck and Runabout as a 2 pack. They have done it with the rainmakers, but an exclusive set. At least Runamuck should be available at retail hopefully.

Well there's still the Takara Tomy version, it could be a 2-pack

It'll happen in some form. They need to reuse the mold, simple repaint.

Okay, so the question is, do I hold out for the 2 pack instead of getting Runamuck on his own?

If I get him seperate and if the 2 pack is released as the "only way" to get Runabout, I'd have spent that money for a duplicate toy.

Another question is it a true repaint or do they just swap the white plastic for black?
It looks like they use a single solid color instead of just painting the plastic.

Yes, I imagine they'll have to repaint some details, the paint layers that worked on white might not necessarily be compatible with black.
Also, from memory, Runabout had a red/orange eyeslot while Runamuck had a blue one.
