Outback Wal-Mart
Description:
Outback ("Legion Class” reissue, 2018)
Accessories: "Mortar cannon"
Part of the first wave of the Vintage G1 line, Outback is incredibly similar to his Encore release, including his blue visor, but there are a few more minor alterations. The vehicle mode rubsign is an all-new type used on the Vintage G1 toys; the insignia only turns red rather than the mood-ring multicolor of older rubsigns, plus the silver border is mirror-level reflective. This version also has production information tampographed onto the back of his vehicle mode, replacing the molded information.Like all Vintage G1 figures, Outback was exclusive to Walmart in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive in Australia to the website of fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in multilingual packaging intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Unfortunately, due to the limited space on the back, the iconic Tech Spec card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach.Although originating from the 1986 range of Mini-Vehicles, Vintage G1 Outback’s back-of-card artwork features the original 1984 mural, rather than the 1986 "Metroplex” mural present on Vintage G1 Hot Rod’s box. His instructions also show Brawn in the line-art.
