Not the same imo.Another attempt to re create something that can not be.G1,imo,means 1st generation,original 80s,first thought with technology that was available then.It may bring the extremely high prices down on headmasters,and maybe targetmasters too if they remaster those.I collect only the heads and guns from both series,I have one body and I've lost count how many heads I have and "targetmasters"I have,but I can go back 5 years ago,I paid 20-25 dollars for blowpipe and 28 dollars for lord zarak,now it's no less,in good shape,than 65-80 dollars depending on which one you buy.
