As I wrote, that is irrelevant, you acquire the licence at the car company level and for each market it is sold in. Hence why there was a period where Hasbro/Takara could release lamborghinis but not VW cars.

Because at the time, they were obsessed with the licences.
Still, I don't see why they couldn't just take the previous MP Bee and reshell him in his clown-car form.
Speaking of unlicensed vehicles, they have no excuses to not make Jazz now.
The cars are still licensed, including this chibi VW Beetle.
I think the SD/Penny Racer-style cars being licensed are a bit of a formality, the license for the VW Beetle was active thanks to the Bumblebee movie, so using it for the G1 reissue and the newer MP despite not really necessary (don't quote me on that), why not? It's worth mentioning that Tailgate was reissued, unlicensed even, despite being based on the Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am.

Believe it or not, they haven't

Knowing how the Japanese love their metal I'm hoping for a Tony Iommi Black Star special Porsche 911.

I’m still getting Hound and MPM Jazz, but along with 44, I canceled my preorders for Bee45 and Blackarachnia. There have been too many issues lately for me to take the chance without seeing reviews first. I have no interest in Lio Convoy. I sold off Dinobot and BW Megatron, and actually made a profit, so that’s nice. It’s also part of the problem since as long as these figures are bought, Takara will see no need or incentive to improve quality. Thank good for the 3rd party market making them look like trash.
I’ll never say never, as we all know things can and do turn around, but it’s not looking great at the moment. I will be very interested in seeing the next MP figure to be made, as the right character can always override good sense (another part of the problem).
