So the idea of this thread is to make our own mock-ups of how such a line would look like. All you need to do is get a G1 card or box and see how it would look like with that toy's equivalent Classics/Universe/Henkei/Gentei counterpart. While original G1 packaging is preferred, you may use reissue packaging only if the packaging is a facsimile of the original G1 (so stuff like the TFC book-boxes aren't permitted).

I've noticed that Hasbro's new Star Wars toys on vintage cards is part of their "The Saga Collection", so let's call this hypothetical Transformer line the "Generations Collection."

Anyway, I'll get the ball rolling. I've simply placed my Universe Brawn on an original G1 Brawn card back.

Question: If HasTak reissued Classics/Universe figures with replica vintage packaging and continued to release figure "Classics" style figures in said packaging style, would you collect them?

It's a yes from me - and I would actually keep them sealed (since I already have the previous moulds)!!
I'd also like to take part in this thread, though I've not got any card backs or boxes suitable (I only own 2 G1 boxes: Classics Grimlock and Silverbolt and 1 G1 card backing: Cosmos that's been cut up by the previous owner).

In answer to your question though, Hell Yes!!! I'd collect them and they'd be the only figures I'd leave in the packaging too (I'm not a MIB-MISB/MOC-MOSC collector, I believe freedom is the right of all sentient toys ) because I already have 90% of the Classics/Universe 2.0/Generations lines, just not the Botcon exclusives or insanely overpriced Henkei/Gentei Seekers, so these 'Hypothetical Classics Packaged" figures would look awesome on display.
