    Dead End = better name. I still don't know what to think about these movie figures we've been seeing recently...

    Meh, I'll just wait til it hits store shelves, I'm sure there will be 100's of it when it does come out.

    They need to create a whole team of these dudes and call them the Street Sign Squad.

    Doubt we'll have a clue about the actual name until the line gets released or Hasbro at least allows the first solicitations of the line or something. Though... Dead End is a much better name I think than... Detour...

    I don't care what the name is, it still looks like a good toy & I'll be picking it up.

    The day I trust some random guy who sells stolen prototypes on the final name for a toy that doesn't clearly resemble an existing character will be the day I buy stolen toys myself.

    I bet his name is Dead End because it sounds better. The toy looks really nice but the car mode looks kind of like a hot wheels toy.

    Finally, I don't know where all those people were getting the names. No one has a damn clue what any of this crap is to begin with.

    At this point, I would be more tempted to trust a seller who has contacts with the factory and said stolen toy in hand than some random guys in Germany/USA/Australia/whatever who don't have contacts with the factory and don't have the toy in hand. Does that make sense? Detour, Dead End, whatever. It's not like the sellers called the figure Abracadabra or Speedy Gonzalez.

    I think it's QUITE obvious that the name of this toy is definitely

    Wheelface Monkeyjunk.

    Don't try and deny it. The evidence is clear.

    I look forward to seeing Detourbeak-End on the toy shelves, so I can finally truly know what to call him.

    Detour's a pretty good name. I like it.
