They did it with T-Rexes. LOL

That was more than aftermath. Just the raptor head poking out of the leaves is more what I was thinking.

Ah. Well I can't do it. I sent mine back.

They lost it to Mattel years ago. So JP93 is double licensed, as someone said.

Only if you're comparing to G1. Waist swivels have been a common thing since the Beast era.

Only really where the transformation demanded it, and even then the swivel was sometimes obstructed (e.g., OG Cheetor/Tigatron).
R.I D.'s new molds had a few dedicated waist-swivels, and Armada really didn't, so I'd say they didn't become close to 'common' until Energon, maybe.

The roof does, but the panel is painted red save for a tiny bit at the end. They could have used black plastic instead since the clear plastic is so darkly tinted and it sits directly on top of an opaque section making it impossible to see through anyway.Agree with the person who said we've been spoiled by waist swivels; they've always been a luxury.
A staple bit of articulation for the last 10 years is a luxury? Are you serious? Is this what we're settling for these days? Even if it is a "luxury", it's a luxury figure! It's $40 worth of figure! They already cut corners by choosing the cheapest kind of arm articulation, it's not like we're asking for wrist swivels and opening hands.

Or just release JP93 by itself. Yeah, fans would still pay for the licensing, but it wouldn't cost as much. This on the assumption that those of us who got the set were looking forward to the car more than the T-Rex. And the T-Rex ended up turning out better?ZeroWolf wrote:As has been said though we have a double whammy of a licensing cost.
