His head looks un-proportionately large in the latest photo. Is it the angle of the camera angle or is a dwarf?

 

it's as close as they can do a porsche without licensing

 

the head size is correct , unless you want wee wee Maketoys meteor head

 

But to do that they have to have licensing.

 

He means that since they couldn't get the licensing so they made a car based on a Porsche without fully looking like a Porsche. So you know kinda like 3rd party.
If you think about it Takara making an MP Jazz by using a slightly off vehicle resembling a Porsche would bring the whole "G1 toon accuracy" angle to a whole other level.

 

They don’t have the licensing. That’s why the Porsche logo isn’t on the SS’86 Jazz box. I wish as much as you do that it was true.

 

you're the only person I've heard say otherwise also why wouldn't they just put the 4 on it like the real car and the cartoon instead of the 14

 

what\'s with the large head? everything else looks fine

 

Isn't that skirting the line of the law just a bit?

Color me perplexed.  

 

gotta make money from G1 jazz somehow

 

Wonder how they can scream at 3p when they are doing the same with Porsche.

 

when were they screaming at 3p

 

No, because he's not actually accurate to the Porsche. He's just a "close enough." (in fact it's actually surprising just how different he actually is compared to the real car, the shape is almost entirely different)

 

It’s probably why they generally don’t.

The only times they generally do is if they think it will be a direct competitor and reduce sales of one of their products, example being Zeta’s Unicron.

Caus did 3rd party really did hurt Hasbro’s sales in any meaningful way I doubt it would take relatively long for Hasbro to shut the majority of them down.

 

Doubt it. Takara already has a working relationship with Porshe through there toy car line.What ever they did with SS86 was well inbounds of what would ruffle Porsche's feathers.

 

Hmm.

 

The blue on this looks like something from cyberverse, childish. Match the blue to geeeeeeeeee1 cartoon ><

 

What’s really confusing about all that is Volkswagen owns Lamborghini and Porsche... so 2 of the 3 have licensed their cars out already. It’s strange that Porsche would be the hold out. Maybe it’s got something to do with the exact race car that jazz was based?

 

there are some in hand prototype pics that a lot of people are happy with, so it could just be the the harsh lighting or color correction on the stock photos.

 

It is already?
