And here they are with all of their little add-on things.

Cool, cool. They look pretty nice. I wish they weren't one step, or I'd probably be more interested in them.

As for the models, I hear they're fairly basic. I've never owned one, personally, but just by looking at pics online, they don't seem too shabby. They look about on par with, possibly a little better than, the Sentai mech models Bandai puts out.

The little additions to Sandsting are shark head halves. You can take them off and out them together to actually form a little purple shark head.

I think all the weapons from the wave are supposed to combine into since kind of shark thing if I remember correctly.

Now that you mention it, Velocirazor has a cannon piece that looks like a sharks tail. And two of the additions on Sandsting look like side fins. But their different colors...

Yeah, the colors don't match. But it's still a thing.

And apparently neither do the alignment of the characters that the pieces come from.

So, has there been a modern/updated version of Blaster released?

FOC had one.

But a more Blastery one apparently will be coming out with Titan Wars once Combiner Wars is over.

Well.....I like the Robot and Boombox mode. But that vehicle mode is utterly blech!!
