    Wei Jiang has a good rep because of the likes of M-01 Commander so - I can't really see a reason to change it unless the name they come up with is designed to do what Mech Fans toys does now and try to sell things more to the west.

    I think it's clear they want a western name that's easier to read/pronounce.

    Isn't that how it's said ?

    Like I said before just use 'Legendary Toys'.

    Why, 威將 (wei jiang) is such an awesome name.

    Probably want to westernize for a more global appeal?

    The reason is literally in the first post. No guessing is necessary.

    I really like the one where the guy said The International House of Weij,I hope that is the new name.Also WeiJiang is more known for their 4th Party Figures than they are for their Knockoffs,cause to imply knockoff means different reasons like same size cheaper plastic figs,also lousy joints and articulation.

    I have bought quite a few WeiJiang figs and I haven't been disappointed yet,they are if not the same quality as HasTak they are better because they one-up them by making theirs bigger so people can have that extra size to enjoy.

    The Oversize RID Warrior class is them also- Unique sort of model car like combiners and The Oversize Headmasters and Toyworld Throttlebot knock offs are also them. They also do some oversize AOE Dinobots (in a rather dishy black).
    I'm actually looking forward to that inspired by the technobots combiner - that looks quite interesting.

    Jiang Wei was the name of an actual famous Three Kingdoms general who died tragically. Had the brains and the muscle, but let down by lesser talent and corruption all around him. Not exactly inspiring. If you played Dynasty Warriors, you'd probably seen the young and handsome spear-wielder in green.

    Hmm, so for Western audiences they should rename themselves Ned Stark Toys.

    Um... spoiler alert.
