Re: TFcon Statement Regarding the Henkei Commander Set
It is NOT like classics vs. henkei, or premium movie figures at ALL.
Hasbro never promised us at any point that their products were exclusives with special value, or that they would NOT re-release those figures, or offer better paint, or that Takara wouldn't elect to use their Japanese license to do their thing...and in fact, we all know they are businesses with a profit motive and that they will feed us repaints until we refuse to buy them.
Which is exactly why there were skeptics asking legit questions about the topic, who were lied to, or misled, or experienced sins of omission at the very least.
And FP has freely admitted that they changed their mind in their TFW2005 post, so people can get off the "did they really promise anything horse"....they've said they did, and they then went another way when another profit motive appeared.
They can claim "for the fans" all they want now...it's hollow to me...if they really want to do something special for Asia, pick another colour scheme entirely and do it up.
Even better if its really a fans project, and has no profit motive, have them open the books and show us the #s...no harm if they aren't in it for the money right?
