Transformers

[edit]
The all-blue Mexican "Puffer" version of Generation 1 Pipes was repurposed as Shattered Glass Pipes.
In the Mexican Transformers line produced by IGA, Pipes was probably released as a straight redeco of Huffer, sold on Pipes cards. Pipes came in two different, but closely-similar color schemes: metallic-blue with white robot parts, and all-over metallic-blue. Fans have given these versions the nickname "Puffer".
We say "probably" because while IGA appears to have done this old-mold-new-colors-sold-as-new-character move with all of the third-year retooled Mini Vehicles, so far Tailgate and Swerve are the only ones that have been confirmed with carded samples. All of the IGA versions of probably-Hubcap, Outback, and Pipes have only been found loose. So it's highly likely, we just don't have mint condition proof yet. Fun!
IGA Transformers also eventually made their way to a variety of European markets, slightly decreasing their rarity.
