Our sponsors Big Bad Toy Store have listed preorders for a reissue of the THS-02B Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version. The Hybrid Style series was released originally in 2005-6 with small, die-cast versions of the then-current incarnation of Optimus Prime from Transformers Cybertron and a version of Generation 1 Optimus Prime, or Convoy as he was known at that time in Japan. The Hybrid Style Generation 1 Convoy would then go on to get a limited run redeco through E-Hobby, with a Generation 2 styled trailer and a black deco to match. By all accounts, that's what we're seeing a new release of here - the limited run black version. In order to distinguish this Asian Market re-release from the original E-Hobby exclusive one, the arms and legs are said to feature some gold paint applications.

Curious to see what the original version of the black Hybrid Style Convoy looks like? Be sure to check out our site gallery for a selection of photos of this very cool little high-end collectible.

Update - Robot Kingdom have also listed preorders.
