    From what I know this figure wasn't released to the general public but does anyone on this board legitimately have one? Why wasn't it released?

    I think there was only one prototype shown to the public, don't know if that one was sold or destroyed.

    And according to the wiki which names a now-offline fan site as its source, it wasn't released because of "cost concerns, flimsy arms, and a faulty voice chip.".

    The one we got from Armada is way better anyway.

    The prototype looked too much like his voice actor.

    From what i know there only 3 known to exist Hasbro has one, TakaraTomy has another ( In an altered color scheme) and one is in private hands. No clue who owns it or id that person is a member here or not.
