It’s a very loose and legally murky game. A toy company cannot patent the ‘look’ of a robot toy, just the name and certain logos.

Perfect Effects upgrade parts, anyone?

Combiner Wars Defensor, has and still looks like hot garbage. Menasor is not much better. Sad one has to buy 3rd party upgrade kits just to see them properly proportioned, and those combination hand/foot guns are useless.

Don’t even get me started on how TakaraTomy can do the same toy with same molding that much better than the Hasbro version, but as a long time enthusiast of robot toys, its ALWAYS been this way, American kids got the subpar version of the toys, all the way back to G1 (those Japanese market diaclone figures have…

To me 3rd party figures are made for the adult fans who grew up with the originals as a kid, but are build to a level of detail and quality adult collectors can appreciate and are definitely not made for kids.

Honestly, given its sheer size, bulk, detail, parts and tooling. $400 is actually a super reasonable price for a figure this size and complexity

Why the hell is this being shared on Jalopnik? Seriously what does this attempted coup have to do with cars?

Christ what a bloated monster.

You can have it, don’t worry, I will not fight you for it

Men who groom....have women who are that much more willing to go down on there. How is this a new thing?

Im using your comment as a launching off point to address everyone in general.

Why would a hillbilly want to ban trucks, your joke needs a little fine tuning

Difference as in how? Is one form of crazy murder better than the other?

Nope the majority of terrorist violence is on the people closest to them, usually fellow middle easterners, often those following the ‘wrong’ section of Islam. You may think they hate Westerners the most but they hate their immediate neighbors far more

Nicely said, well articulated.

I agree, just the overly vocal ones. Many of the ones in the real world simply voice their opinions with their wallets.

The much smaller B8.5 Audi S4 is almost 4000 lbs and the Panamera is a much larger car, what’s your point you’re making w your question?

Now is the demand coming legit GT3 buyers or broke ass Porsche fans on the internet?

I love this show but its so freakin dense and packed full of layers and subtext. Plus the cinematopgraphy alone makes it a joy to watch. I’ve been watching each ep slowly and carefully, only made it thru ep 5 so far.

That’s why I mentioned specifically the UAE. Notice I never once mentioned Saudi Arabia.
