Q: When will fixed-crotch figures start coming out?
A: They hope to start seeing them by Christmas. The AWE Striker might have some problems with the 25th Anniversary figures fitting in it, but the other vehicles shown today should have no problem with them fitting.
So, I would think they wouldn't retool the Hiss. | |

This was after the panel while they were allowing people to get close and take pictures of the figures they showed. | |

It seemed that Hasbro said retooling would in fact happen on the vehicle front. Who wants a guy who can't fit in the machine he comes with? No kid, never mind adults.
