Looks Like More Trouble Ahead For MP-23 Exhaust

Anybody else getting the feeling that PM just doesn't want it released, no matter what it looks like now?

I'm sure that this is the case.


Regardless, this whole debacle is just getting Exhausting.

It is a bit of a drag, isn't it?....

My dreams of owning one are going up in smoke.
I'm so ashamed of myself now.

Indeed, I laughed hard over that.

Maybe we should start a petition or email campaign to make PM concede?!?

This is so damn stupid...I guess no one can put Red, White and a detail of green without PM saying it's ok to do it. Damn, if thats the case, why isnt Moutain Dew suing over Dispensor (in any form)???

Surely there is a legal precedent that would absolve everyone I would think the laws that protect those who parody and lampoon would work...I say that because the very name "Exhaust" lends itself as a JOKE in regard to his deco.

All i know is PM apparently likes killing happiness, joy and fun as much as they like killing people.

Now I going to go wear a red shirt, white pants with green socks and wait to be told to cease and desist going outside dressed in a trademarked deco.

TFormers seems to think that exhaust will be outright cancelled. anyone else think this is a possibility? i thought that takara didnt care. but they obviously did, enough to try and alter to appease PM. is it time to start panicking?

They have to whatever it takes to get publicity and/or money since smoking continues to decline.

If only. Phillip Morris USA, or rather, tobacco companies in general are very rich and powerful forces to be reckoned with. TakaraTomy would be fighting an uphill battle if they chose to directly go against PM's wishes. Let's keep hoping that this figure isn't completely doomed.

And to think they let Kyoshu (scaled model car manufacturer) get away with a not Malboro version of the same car model.

When? And was it for sale in the U.S.?
