Volkswagen owns Porsche or vice versa so the cars are covered.
Doesn't matter, they are still their own individual companies and licensing is not centralized. Different brands have different identities and thus each license has to be acquired at the individual company AND at the individual country where the toy is sold. Hence why licensed Honda toys can differ from the US and Japan, for instance.
Given the greater resemblance to the Porsche 935 Turbo (instead of having to camouflage with Solstice headlights), Porsche themselves may not have had a problem at all.

Eh, his hollows are par for the course for a Generations figure (especially a Deluxe with foldaway hands). I think the fact that his feet stick out in car mode is far more egregious.Black Hat wrote:Man, Jazz looks...kinda bad. Seriously needs some more colour breakup and the hollow bits suck. That is a shame, he looked alright from the initial leak.

Dang, didn't even notice that.
Maybe I'll stick with United.
He's a toss-up.

What number was Meister in the Takara line?
Sabrblade wrote:Two guesses as to why Jazz has a 14 on his doors instead of a 4.
The more pleasant guess: G1 Jazz had a 4 on his doors while G2 Jazz had a 1 on his, and so Hasbro just put those two numbers together for some reason.
The, uh, unpleasant guess: Another hidden message like with POTP Jazz (which I would very much want to NOT be the case).
