This right here kinda drives me bananas why not use the character who traditionally was a Sixshot repaint? Like it's cool that quickswitch is getting some love but it's such an odd choice.
Because perhaps more people give a darn about Quickswitch then a obscure Japanese only character that's not even that popular compared to say Six Shot or Overlord?
I'd say that Hasbro probably thought Quickswitch was a higher priority.
Yeah I'd have to disagree with that given the amount of praise this line is getting for it's use of obscure Japanese references. I think a lot of people would've preferred greatshot out of Sixshot instead so that way there would be a chance, however slim, that a new mold quickswitch would happen.
I think that would've been a better path for Hasbro to go down personally because that way they could get two uses out of each mold. Or they could've doubled down and remolded Sixshot into a version of quickswitch with more accurate alt modes so that way they could get 4 uses out of 1 base mold (Sixshot, Greatshot, Quickswitch and Sixknight)
