The Loyal Subjects just posted via Twitter a teaser of what seems to be our first glimpse of possibly one of their wave 4 figures, Jetfire, along side a fan’s sketch of the character. This is pretty exciting considering wave 3 is not released yet, nor is the full listing of characters for the wave. Another interesting thing is that on the side of Jetfire there is a hole for a button. A similar hole was used for Wave 2’s Optimus Prime’s speech box.
Join the discussion after the jump!

FOR THE GLORY OF JETFIRE!!!!!!
He is just so precious looking.

Not really. It was "Dismissed with prejudice" because HG and Hasbro settled, and because they settled, the case is dismissed with neither party being held at fault. "With prejudice" means HG can't sue Hasbro again for the same thing. "Dismissal without prejudice" lets the plaintiff sue the defendant again (usually when more evidence is uncovered or after an agreed amount of time).
If there is a settlement, there is nothing for the judge to rule on, so he can't "side with" anybody. As long as the two parties agree, the judge will then dismiss the case (since usually part of the settlement agreement would be the plaintiff withdrawing the suit/filing a motion for dismissal). A judge will only get involved in settlement issues on very rare occasions.

Very awesome!

To make a correction yes it was settled out of court but the Judge who allowed the settlement to pass seems to have sided with Hasbro

It was settled out of court, so neither side won or lost.

Those are the Jumbos. I think the Jetfire will be standard 2-3" blind box version

Aren't they like $30?

I thought Hasbro won that whole HG thing?

We'll never know what the settlement's details were. For sure one would be to let them sell the Skystriker which the lawsuit was about. And we can also assume that HG let Hasbro do Leader Jetfire as part of the settlement. But HG would never, ever agree to Hasbro getting a Hall Pass for any and all future Jetfires, and especially not to then pass on that license to third parties.

They're about $12

This will go straight into my Macross collection if it actually comes out looking like that.
Hopefully they'll do a Skyfire, too.

No, I thought Hasbro lost that one that's why they were trying to get everyone's back they probably filed a cease and desist then seizure of chattels against Hasbro.
This looks nice, maybe Robotech/Macross people will pick it up too.

Do all the Loyal Subjects figures have oven mitt hands?

I thought that was taken care of with the whole GI Joe crossover thing? I thought the out of court settlement resolved any future issue with Jetfire.
Or maybe I dreamt that?

Hasbro has to approve it first. If they allow this design to get released, it means they don't feel any legal threat from Harmony Gold.

I'm sure of it.
