Just curious if anyone thought Has/Tak would ever do a G1/Classics Masterpiece Hound figure. Hound was my 1st ever TF and I'd love to have a masterpiece for my shelf.

 

They kinda have to to complete their G1 cast right?

 

See the MP speculation thread or MP wish list thread.

 

There's always a chance.

 

Yeah, why not?

 

They will...in time.

 

That's what most of us want....but will they?

I have a feeling they're not 

 

For the time being you could use Alternators/Bineltech Hound.

 

See this.

 

I think they will, but I don't think he'll come soon. He does have repaint potential though (Detritus).

 

Idk? Is water wet?

 

not out of the question and i would not think getting licensing would be too difficult.

 

Could be a chance, but I would prefer Jazz and Mirage first.

 

yes please please

 

^this

 

I'd say it will happen at some point.

 

You'd need to get it from both Jeep and very possibly the US Army if your gonna use the exact military deco. The USMC somewhere /somehow licensed MARPAT for MP Acidstorm so it shouldn't be that much of a stretch.

 

Your implying that the US army has a patent/trademark on a star? I highly doubt it as that falls under the too common to be trademarked. Also it was based of the Mitsubishi version of the WWII jeep

 

If TT wants to use the US Army Star, then Yes they must get the ok.

maybe that's why they went with white stars on the henkei version over the "gold" ones.

i totally agree, binaltech hound is a fantastic figure.
