Pretender to the Throne!

My complete set of 1988 Decepticon Pretenders are here!

I bought these from the same seller who sold me the complete set of six 1988 Autobot Pretenders, eBay seller nancyfancypants, one of the best the friendliest eBay sellers I have had the pleasure to buy from. Shipping was top-notch fast and these figures arrived in a little over a week.

I am very happy to be able to purchase these six Decepticon Pretenders in one hit! I'm gonna say it again, my Pretenders are here! Hurrah!

I will be featuring each one in more detail in later posts, but first, here they are - Skullgrin, Bomb-burst, Submarauder, Iguanus, Bugly and Finback...

  2. There are the Pretenders, but there are other Pretenders breeds, like Pretender Beasts, Vehicles, Monsters, Mega Pretenders and Ultra Pretenders.

  3. Hi there. I'm Ben Carolan, the original author of the message regarding the other Pretender breeds. With the same regards to Pretenders, I think there's something that should come to your attention which I did not mention in my original message. During a Botcon from the 1996-present era we are now in, there were unreleased Generation 1 and Generation 2 products on display; in the Generation 1 section, under Pretenders, there were prototypes for an unreleased Pretender breed, Double Pretenders. These Pretenders were TWO Transformers in the one shell at the one time. On the Autobots, there was an unnamed armored gorilla duo, and on the Decepticons, an unnamed bandit spider duo. According to sites that had some information on this breed of Pretender, both inner robots could combine. That's only a rumor, as they weren't released. It would have taken Pretenders to another level of power. The material used for the shells is partially like the Monsters, but no one knows how different (if any) the material used is. I'm thinking that the world is still going strong with the Pretender breeds currently out there if this breed was unreleased.
