Takara Tomy Mall Website brings a nice surprise with a new listing with color stock images of the new Generation Selects King Poseidon (Piranacon): Turtler (Snaptrap) And Gulf (Skalor).
Following the reveal of the gray prototype of King Poseidon/Piranacon and the Seacons at Tokyo Wonderfest, now we have a clear look at the colors of Turtler/Snaptrap for your viewing pleasure. The Seacons leader has several nods to the original G1 in both modes like his iconic sword and shield. His combiner feet can be used as extra cannons for both robot and turtle modes.
We also have color images of Gulf/Skalor showing off not only his robot and alt modes, but his combiner arm and leg configurations and even his weapon/gun mode.
Takara Tomy Mall website has listed both figures together as “Wave 1” for 11124 Yen or $103.94 approximately. You can also order them individually: Turtler/Snaptrap is 7020 Yen or $65.61 and Gulf/Skalor is 4104 Yen or $38.36. They are expected for release on late January, 2020.
To top it all, a new Online manga is available giving us some background story for the characters. This time it is only 2 pages where we can spot Galvatron, Turtler/Snaptrap and even Halfshell from the Japanese Beast Wars II cartoon. He is a white and green redeco of Snaptrap. A hint for a future Seacons repaint? Time will tell.

TFC did the Seacons, but they weren't KOs. They were just larger toys of their of design.
Sandstormer
Maybe TFC? Very vague memories.

Most likely because the plastic / paint budget was much higher on these than retail figures
DubV
Not that I’m aware of, it’s just that those bots particularly dwarf the terrorcons that they were remolded from.
Quickstrike2013
did someone do larger KO versions of these?
DubV
Just want to say the alt modes on these bots are enormous!!! I was expecting POTP terrorcon sized creatures and was pleasantly shocked when I saw how big Skalor, Tentakil, and LobClaw were!!!

I know ive seen the extra hand combined with Snaptraps rifle and used as a stand
Electro Rush
The Act 5 stands come with two different attachments to grab a figure, in this case either will do.
WereDragon EX
I'm thinking a Bandai clear stand is one of the better options, though I'm not sure what sort of attachment to use on the arm of the stand to attach to King Poseidon's arm to hold it up.
WereDragon EX
Is there a good figure stand one can use to hold up King Poseidon's arm where the targetmaster Seacon is attached? Just so you can get him into gun firing poses. Since obviously, without some form of support, the arm is way too heavy to assume anything other than a straight downwards pointing pose.

Seawing is listed as back in stock:

Tentakill got restocked last December. Overbite is the only one left out of the most recent restocks.
DecepticusPrime
Everyone but tentakil has seen several restocks. Why not him?
Thundershot
I’m glad more people are able to get these guys!
ArkinDotWav
I just need Overbite in order to have the whole team of six. Go figure that he's the last one and he has an integral par tof the full sword.
