I'm not sure why this exists, but it definitely exists:

Hot on the heels of the Optimus Primal vs. Megatron redeco set, also from Takara, comes a second Beast Wars set with Rhinox and Scorponok. Now, Scorponok is largely unchanged, and looks pretty much like the Kingdom release to my eyes. Rhinox, however, seems to be colored like the 1996 Kenner toy instead of like the Kingdom release, which is just wrong-headed on so many levels that I don't even know what to do with it.

I'm not sure why anybody would spend $69.99 to get a same-colored Scorponok and an arguably wrong-colored Rhinox, but you can get it on or around December 30th, 2023 if you choose to do so.

Zob (also pre-ordered the Super7 ReAction toys from The Black Hole, and is super stoked about those)
