Hopefully the next fan first Friday focuses primarily on studio series (without 86) and some of that bumblebee stuff
I'm not getting my hopes up. The design team appears to have a giant G1 boner that they still can't seem to satisfy no matter how many versions of the same toys they keep making and how many lines they take over.
Unfortunately I too am hardened by geewun and its nice to see the toys getting some solid figures after 30+ years
That being said there's no reason for fans of the live action fans to have to wait as long with modern engineering
I would say with a little patience they'll hop off the g1 anniversary marketing considering there are new films in development and hopefully the next fan first Friday will be all about Jolt, Soundwave, etc
Until then ill be enjoying this while my bank account has its arteries slashed and slowly bleeds out
For what it's worth, I recently learned that in toy companies there's a lot of lateral turnovers, brand managers change roughly every two years while toys have a three-year production cycle. Might explain why we see a lot of the same characters over and over, the new brand managers want to make their OWN versions of those characters.
