Toys That Never Were Appreciation Thread.

Kenner set the stage for Hasbro reusing molds to the point it's idiotic. I mean they honest reuse the same transformer molds for at least 2 figures per line these days.

S'been that way since the first G1 lines - With the odd extra bit or changed head...
Grapple/Inferno
Rumble/Frenzy
Trailbreaker/Hoist

The Seeker jets, and there were loads more - Hell, one of the mini-car series' was almost all repaints:

• Hubcap = Cliffjumper
• Outback = Brawn
• Pipes = Huffer
• Swerve = Gears
• Tailgate =Windcharger

I came across this on Facebook thanks to one of the TRON related groups. This is a picture of the unproduced figures from the TRON: Legacy line from Spinmasters. The only one that did get release was Zuse, and that was in small numbers (making it a rare figure).
