    Happy for all the Skids fans and I'm glad to see that it's closer to the original MP design philosophy. I'm reeeeeeally hoping Galvatron is coming, though.

    Well, well, well, What have we here?
    MP Skids, huh? OOH. I'm in shear awe.
    So this might begin the Skids comeback.

    You're joking, you're joking, I can't believe my eyes.
    You're joking, you've got to be. This can't be the truth, guys.
    He's accurate, he's cool. I don't know which is first
    I might just faint in my seat now if my wallet don't start crying first.

    Yes that was a parody of The Nightmare Before Christmas's "Oogie Boogie Song." Someone create this for that.

    All jokes aside, this might just be a simple sketch/concept art to show off the figure. It might not be the final design.

    Anyone feel we just jumped from tier-A characters to tier-F in a second. I mean I'm glad Skids is getting something but I feel like there's others that would have come before him.

    I want Crosscut and the red and blue with toy Skids head (or Burnout).

    Green Skids or Screech would be good too.

    Well he's the right color, because this is certainly out of the blue.

    Definitely interested to see what this "hybrid" thing is. He sure looks more detailed and toy-esque than recent figures.

    It is, but it looks like they're sculpting the sticker detail into his legs, while the cartoon model is flat as a board.

    I beg your pardon?

    That was probably not on anyone's shortlist at all. Wow.

    I know the leaks have said there are no plans for him right now but I really hope this means there'll be a new CHUG Skids soon.

    Suitably, for the type of car he is, and what they tend to be these days, a Hybrid! :p

    I don't know why people are surprised. Skids is a Diaclone Car. That's the one subgroup MP is consistently working to complete.
