Motto: "Freedom is the right to KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"
The age of toys like the USS Flagg and Fort Max are long gone, the market for them just doesn't exist.


Oh, it still exists. It just went from hundreds of thousands of children to 5,000 max adults. But remember, they aren't making them for us, they're making them for the Japanese. The average otaku apartment just can't fit a 4 foot tall combiner in the corner. They don't mind that we buy them we're just not the target audience.

Well, that's kind of what I mean. The average japanese citizen can barely fit these guys in their room, and adult collectors in other countries make up a very small market.

Even smaller considering those who both are willing to pay the money, and won't get thrown out of the house by the misses by buying a 8 ft transformer. That's a very small market indeed, and Takara wouldn't make a lot of money out of the endeavor. With the cost of developing a figure like that, coupled with the ammount of units sold, does not equal a huge profit.

That's why if they made an MP Fort Max or Devastator, I doubt they would be much bigger than the other MP figures.

Weapon: Air Rifle
I'd hollow out the 8ft transformer and live in it.
Comfortable indeed :P
