Title:
Wolfgang Wal-Mart Walmart
Description:
Maximal Wolfang (Reissue, 2022)
Accessories: Tail/crossbow launcher, back/shield, 2 missiles
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Beast Wars, the original 1996 Deluxe Class Wolfang was reissued under the Vintage Beast Wars lineup. "Maximal Wolfang” features all the same accessories and functionality as the original toy. Unlike most other Beast Wars Vintage releases, Wolfang’s reissue changes are very subtle. The crossbow projectiles have been retooled to be, surprisingly, shorter and thinner, as well as being cast in much more flexible plastic than the originals. Said flexible plastic is, unfortunately, also used on Wolfang’s upper robot arms, resulting in his forearms popping off rather easily. The deco remains largely identical to the original, except the white overspray on the wolf paws and jaw is much less pronounced. The only other change is that the robot feet are now attached via flathead pins instead of screws.
Much like Vintage G1, Wolfang is packaged in a blister card styled after the original Beast Wars toy packaging, package art and all. Notably, unlike the first three carded releases in the line, the bubble is an all new square shape that shows off the projectiles, as opposed to the rounded or rocky versions used in the original Beast Wars line. Also similar to Vintage G1, the time disparity since the original release has doubled the price of the toy’s 1996 release, $22 versus $10. This figure is exclusive to Walmart in the United States.
Wolfang was revealed on a Transformers Tuesday on March 22, 2022, with pre-orders on the Walmart site dropping two days later on the Walmart Collector-Con at 1 PM ET.
