Yup. The Nintendo NX. Releasing next March (2017)! Basically, this new Legend of Zelda is being developed for both platforms like Twilight Princess was for the GameCube and Wii.

This can only mean MP Jazz is after MP Inferno!

Now if only a 3rd party would actually make a Trailbreaker....

But what about your whole "Hastak will do it eventually" worldview? :-?

And it might be extremely nitpicky of me, but my excitement over "Blues" was crushed as quickly as it was incited. That panel behind his head, GET RID OF THAT. It's an MP for cryin out loud. The hell Toyworld? #-o

I maintain it. That's why I said "lookin'". I really have no interest in buying 3P MP scaled figs. But, I really like TW's designs.
I still worry about alcohol and tobacco licensing for Jazz and Mirage though.

That new Orion looks good and G1y though.

You mention the licensing issues and all I can think it's the Alert + that is coming out. If they can license the Porsche (which Takara probably already has when they got VW group's Volkswagen Type 1 and Lamborghini Countach) I feel like Jazz is more and more certain. The F1 car is probably where it gets murky the most.

So, Apollyon stays as my only 3P Masterpiece.. unless I get some good pricing on Andras as Curse and Eligos. And maybe even GigaPower's dinos..

I think the issue is more with recreating his iconic look that includes booze branding. Look what happened to Exhaust.

VW owns Lambo? I did not know that.
I'm not worried about the licensing of the vehicles. I'm concerned about the trouble the sponsorship branding on those vehicles could cause. A la Exhaust. I would be fine with approximated "sponsorship" graphics, if the toys themselves rock.

I'll second that. When it comes to me to the look of a character here's what's important to me; the silhouette, coloring and head sculpt. They can fudge the graphics if the results work. Take CW Mirage as a prime example. Fun toy, looks like Mirage has a good head sculpt.

Hell you can fudge the silhouette if the toy works and is fun; I'll use another CW figure as an example - Prowl.

I'd honestly be a little more happy if they just stop getting car licenses and let the designers have a little more artistic freedom with the MP line. Like MP Bee, the alt mode really doesn't do it for me. I'd like to see the car a little more squished and cartoony looking. Like Toy World's take on Bee. To me that is what Bumblebee looks like. Or just go whole hog and do a SD VW model!

I like that the MP line is getting more cartoony and losing panel detail. I've always been a bit bothered by all the detail on MP10.

VW does own Lamborghini, and Audi, and Bugatti, and Porsche, and Bentley, and others, and we talked about this before in another thread somewhere..I'll find it. Otherwise, here.

The toy had that stuff but the cartoon didn't right? Images I'm searching don't seem to show branding on Jazz's cartoon (with the exception of "4" on the doors) but I think Mirage may have "26" and "Citanes or Gitanes". Which shouldn't be an issue with the MP-## + versions :lol:

I'd say AS important as Transformers is The Legend of Zelda. And Nintendo wins E3 this year for me (and others) with their presence and presentation of Breath of the Wild.

Pokémon Go is Nintendo telling gamers to get outside and explore the world. And I like it!

You can't be a real Pokémon Trainer if you're stuck in your house :lol:

Launching on Android/iOS this summer!
