Yeah, parodies can happen with the permissions of the rights holder. The point is in most other places, you wouldn’t even need permission at all. That’s how strict their laws are and why Takara would be very careful around them.
For fandom works, as I understand, they are technically against...
They're very strict about copyright to the point where unauthorized uses have to be mosaiced out or otherwise censored for broadcast. This goes even for things that are clearly parodies, as those aren't covered as fair use there unlike in most other countries. It’s not often enforced but it...
Not saying it’s not possible but there’s a reason why some Japan-only characters get toys and the others don’t. As has been noted before, just because they do obscure stuff every once and a while doesn’t mean they do it full time. They have many more universes to work with, with characters more...
It appears to be pretty decent, aside from the submarine having a hand instead of the claw and selling the claw submarine separately with the otherwise unchanged drones. Personally find that he has a pretty bad headsculpt.
I feel that even with the more obscure characters, they’re still thinking with marketability in mind. Lio Convoy/Prime was the go-to lion mold repaint for over a decade and Magmatron was actually released internationally. Both also showed up in mass-release comics. Galvatron… got his colors used...
I'll cut them some slack since the SRP is the same as a Leader class figure. Thing legit costs more to ship than buy. It's like a titan class weaponizer or whatever they're calling them nowadays.
Plus it leads to some crazy possible altmodes
Youtube recommended this video for me.
It's an interesting piece, with a robot whose altmode is... another robot mode.
It comes with a shield, a gun and two swords. For gimmickry, it has lights and sounds and you can fill it with water to have it blow mist out of the exhaust ports to simulate...
The all-in-one philosphy is interesting but I find it ultimately pointless since the combiner play pattern by definition is already partsforming. Having an integrated chesplate or hands isn’t a big sell when you still have entire limbs and a torso to reposition anyway. I mean it’s clever but if...
I like their philosophy in a nutshell and maybe on non-masterpiece figures it could work. Unfortunately, combined with the toon accuracy, it ends up with some gigantic, exeptionally janky-looking toys I wouldn’t pay sales prices for. Looks better than polio Bruticus and Skipped-Leg-Dayfensor at...
