Just like certain parts of another project on these boards.
If raw concepts and ideas can be embraced elsewhere, why not here ? Just saying...
So you think that "Oh we want to make new joints and a pointless gun for this, but we have nothing to show you other than a photo of what the figure looks like without our stuff on" is the same as "Oh look, we want to make a new toyline that homages Transformers, He-Man etc, with interchangable parts and accessories, so here is concept art of what the first 20 figures, acessories and expansion packs will look like, and here's a hard-copy prototype that shows you what the first base figure will be like in the flesh" are the same thing?
This set here, doesn't even have a quick pencil sketch, while the only thing that's missing from Play with this Too is the finished product because production hasn't started yet.
These guys here have absolutely nothing to show for themselves, but they already want to sell it to you.
It says diecast shoulder joints and a longer gun. Do you really need to see a drawing of the original joints photoshopped in chrome ? Maybe they can photoshop them in red chrome too for the inevitable D.I.A. Commander repaint. They said the gun would be longer. Unless they said it will look different, we can safely assume its an upsized or extended KO of the original gun. No need to put out a bunch of drawings in my honest opinion. This projects outcome is pretty self explanatory. Unlike a certain few black and white teaser drawings which had people stumped for a couple weeks. Ill give you another example where a drawing was never shown and not needed...Belzeboss Slingshot. Many people including myself embraced that silhouette because we knew what to expect and roughly what other figures the engineering and aesthetics would be based on. If it wasnt for the TRU computer listings and takaras announcement, Belzeboss could have sold preorders on a silhouette alone if the price was fair. But in other cases weeks of endless drawings and people still had no clue what to expect in plastic form. So in essence what im trying to say is that a picture isnt always worth 1000 words. Sometimes a picture isnt needed. Sometimes we get plenty of pictures and there all worthless. It varies depending on the project.
I want to see something. If they're selling new joints, they should show them. And why would we need a longer gun anyway? Is there a reason to want or buy it? The current gun is perfect, so if you intend to sell a new gun, it better be amazing, and you better show me what it looks like, or give me an idea of how it stacks up against the one I already have.
All I would need is a photo of Magnus, with drawings of the products overlayed to give me a rough idea, but instead they only give us a stock photo of Ultra Magnus. We all know what he looks like, show us the stuff you want to sell.
Belzeboss did show off a drawing when they announced it, plus the difference is this; this company is actually selling pre-orders for something that as far as we know doesn't even exist, while the stuff you list are announcements by the companies in question of products they intend to one day sell.
