Toys
Kre-O
- Powerglide (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2013)
- Collection: 2
- Bag number: ***** 73
- Accessories: Logo brick, 2 clip-on rifles
- As part of the second wave of blindpacked Micro-Changers, Powerglide is a Kreon patterned after Generation 1 Powerglide. He can be rebuilt into an airplane. He reuses Mirage's helmet and Starscream's arm guns.
- This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight retooling to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.
- Kreon Class of 1985 (Kreon figure set, 2015)
- Accessories: Small pistol
- Voted "Will Do Anything on a Dare" by the Kreon Class of '85, this version of Powerglide has his deco much more heavily based on the original Powerglide toy, plus his helmet is now the pointy jet-nosecone type. Like the rest of the set, he uses the almost-totally-retooled 2015 style of Kreon body.
- This box set of thirty Kreons was a San Diego Comic-Con 2015 exclusive, with leftovers being sold on Hasbro Toy Shop online after the show.
- Acid Wing (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
- Collection: 2
- Accessories: Logo plate, 2 clip-on rifles
- In 2016, Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released Kre-O sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Powerglide's head has changed from light gray plastic to a metallic silver, and his light gray tampographs have similarly gone shiny silver.
- Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.
