Thanks to 2005 Board member Sness for sharing in our board photographic proof of his sighting of some new Zoteki G1 Transformers Statues By Jazwares at US retail.
These statues are part of Jazwares’ Zoteki collection which has worked with several other franchises before. So far we can confirm that Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Soundwave and Starscream (chase) statues are available. They can connect to create a diorama. The statues were found at Target in California.

Well Deluxe Baldwin was right.

I don't really know anything about McFarlane figures but I know that for pops they are basically just shortpacked figures (usually 1 per case) while there is nothing really rare about these and Skywarp doesn't even appear to be exclusive just a normal figure.

It seems if you put the whole diorama together, you couldn't have all three seekers together, but would have to swap one out for the other.
Q Prime
Are you implying their stuff is bad?
Megasquared
That's on par with most of Jazwares stuff.

In a lot of current collectible lines (like Funko Pops and Mystery Minis or McFarlanes various action figure lines) chase is often used to describe an exclusive figure that is only colour change or very minor new parts. So they're "chases" as of the current use of the word.

Shit like this makes me feel like Da Vinci in comparison. How does stuff like this get officially licensed?

Skywarp is preorderable at gamestop.

I actually saw this Thundercracker at my Walgreens tonight. For a brief moment I actually considered it. It looks a smidge better in person, the face sculpt isn’t actually terrible, and Thundercracker is one of my pet-favorite characters… but I ultimately opted not to get it. It had “impulse buy I’ll ultimately regret” written all over it.

Here's the Skywarp for anyone interested. I don't think these 2 are actual "chases" and are just walgreens and gamestop exclusives.

Yup. Ordered mine from them some weeks back. Hopefully they are able to fulfill the order.

For those who care, GameStop has the Skywarp “chase” variant.

These statues have been flooding my local Target. The only other Transformers-related things there are 1-step changers and Kingdom Wave 1 core and deluxe figures.
