That's an interesting point. I don't know, maybe they were able to figure out a loophole because the figure is not "The Rock" but "Roadblock" played by Dewayne Johnson. I noticed that all of The Rock's tatoos have been covered, or at least do not appear on these early pics of the toys.

Your probably right. No matter the excuse I won't like it.
I've grown tired of discussing it on the forum. I'll wait the week before Toy Fair to remind people to give Hasbro an earful. Otherwise I get the two guys who want to discuss the finer points of Photoshop and Mockups. Looking back at some of these vehicle drivers it's only Clutch and the Ninja Cruiser Driver I'm upset about. (Assuming Flint gets a single carded version) But we haven't seen close ups of the Swamp viper or HISS tank Driver whoever that is. So I might start getting more pissed. The Motorcycles and another AWE Striker and a CLAW don't matter to me. Put another SE and SS and CC in all of those with the ARTICULATION DYSFUNCTION and sell those to the kids. Since I buy everything online I'm forced to buy cases with other crap I don't want. I only have little girls so I have no one to give them away to.

Is is the week before Toy Fair. I'll be there on Saturday at Hasbro's panel.
The Rock likeness issue was discussed somewhere. I forget the specifics but Hasbro doesn't have to pay Mattel a liscensing fee because Mattel has the WWE liscense. They still have to pay for using the actor's likeness, just like they did for the RoC figures.

All this commotion about the toys, can you imagine what things will be like when the movie hits? I'm optimistic that it'll be better than ROC but well.......you never know.
Thanks for clearing up the Rock likeness issue Troy, I was wondering about that. |

Wasn't there supposed to be a large vehicle coming as well or is that the new Ghost Hawk?

I think there's still one coming, from what I've seen in other threads, lots of people are speculating on a new Whale. That said, I also heard that the mold Hasbro used was pretty fragile if not destroyed.
It'd be great if it was a Whale. Never had one as a kid and I've always wanted one. Shipping to Oz has always been prohibitive. |

Maybe Hasbro could remold it again like they did with the Sky Striker. A new WHALE would be awesome!
I'm really looking forward to the Ninja Cruiser (VAMP II), it'd be perfect my Squadron Black custom team I am putting together.

There's still like 16 more things to reveal. Could be a larger vehicle.
I'm loving the Combat Cruiser. I want at least 3 of 'em that will need to get repainted.

I would love it even more if that figure wasn't dysfunctionally articulated.

Yeah I thought there was going to be an echo class vehicle, and if it was a new whale I would have a new found respect for Hasbro.
The articulation issue is just sad because I would have got some stuff just for the figures, particularly Clutch. I dig that head. |
