Why we can't have some SS Selects is beyond me, some of those alternate color schemes were super good, why we can't get them again when we have a line basically dedicated to fan service is beyond me
Thank you! I'm surprised we haven't seen any Studio Selects either, though we have gotten a couple new offscreen repaints in the line (Thundercracker, NEST Bumblebee)
Probably because Hasbro does not technically own those designs and any repaints would need to go through Paramount and of course kick back money to Paramount for the use of said designs.
Hasbro has never actually used movie molds in anything but movie lines. Movie designs are very much off limits for re-uses outside of sanctioned repaints in movie or movie related toy-lines.
And yes, I'm aware X-Overs X-Panse used a singe panel from SS Jetfire. But I guess the end result was different enough to not anger the powers that be at Paramount.
Movie figures have always been a complex issue.
