Do you think retail executives are smart enough to know that?
You forgot about Cliffjumper in Wave 1, who also shelfwarmed for a good while.That is a BAD EXCUSE, because it doesn't stack up, just looking up Prime toyline of deluxes at the time that figure came out, there was only one other red figure and that was Knock out and he was in wave 3 while Kup was in wave 5
In Japan, it's white, black and silver and that's basically it. Oh, and most of the cars are Japanese, with little or no foreign cars.View attachment 14236
You'd think they'd pay attention to this. Red is usually more popular than green where vehicles are concerned. (I pulled up the year when TFP Kup came out.)
I mean, I'm looking at North America here, where we got the BIG Kup and the little Ironhide.In Japan, it's white, black and silver and that's basically it. Oh, and most of the cars are Japanese, with little or no foreign cars.
I'm not sure, but it was definitely reserved for Classics Kup.

If he was black like in the movie, that would make more sense.
My point being, in North America, corporate and/or retail deciding "too much red" among their cars should probably look at what's popular in cars. Instead, they grabbed from the one listed next to "everything else not worth discussing."
It just doesn't make sense.
Would making the small release Kup not have effectively done the same thing?Maybe they just really wanted to secure the Kup name trademark and the line ended before they got around to Ironhide? When was the last Kup before that, anyway?
