Was looking at some more pics of him today. Is that a moustache he is sporting?
It's his mouth.

Are we sure it's his mouth?
Who's to say Exhaust isn't a Fembot? There's just something a little Blackarachnia-y in that head design or maybe it's just me.
Cannot unsee it now !!!!:DQuote:

Amazon has the rest in high resolution now
I really hope that like TigerTrack the Decepticon logo is optional. Being the diaclone homage that it is I'd hate to see them try and shoehorn it into the Decepticon ranks.
Doesn't look optional at this point it seems but I agree it would be nice.
You may be onto something there, PaulQuote:

haha im actually quite a big amiami fan, i buy all my power ranger and super sentai figurines from there so check quite frequently, exhaust was actually up for a few days star saber on other hand instant preorder sell out
It's in the right spot and size that it could get covered up by a sticker to give it more accurate livery which must be pretty deliberateQuote:

Just pretend it is one , don't worry too much.
I even got over g2 sideswipe smirk face
G2 SIdeswipes face makes the figure. How could you not love it?:confused:
I didn't understand it but it grew on to me and now I like it as the best Lambor for mp.Quote:

It kinds of validates my theory that Exhaust was an afterthought as they needed to fill the MP-23 void, rather than him being MP-20E.Quote:

Infringes on trademarks owned by Malboro
Quote:
This mark is found on the hood/roof of the MP-23 car in red, and also in smaller green shapes on the left and right fenders. They are concerned because these marks cannot be used on products that could be intended for children as dictated by the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement*
Oh.... that sucks ass!
Time to look elsewhere I suppose, any recommendations on who I should use?
:)
Really? There is no Marlboro trade marks as far as I am concerned is a red and white car. Wow, I thought Apple was bad.Quote:

I have this feeling someone leaked it to Marlboro . It can't be they knew this out of nowhere.Quote:

Still, it's got me thinking...maybe we could get an Australian-exclusive "Plain Packaging" variant in that vaguely puke-coloured olive-green shade, with those graphic health warnings on the hood. Use a few different health warning versions and make it an army-builder...it'd drive the completists nuts.:D
Early pictures had Malboor logos on it.

With how sensitive their laws are over there, I'm not surprisedby the move by bbts to pull it from preorders.
As with anything, collectors will find other sources for the figure. I nabbed mine from hlj when he went up. Dunno if there are any left though.
I don't remember that, but I do remember the chevrons never being sharp.Quote:

I don't blame BBTS for covering themselves, as tobacco lawsuits have been a big issue over there, so if their brand is remotely associated with a kids product (toys), it could hurt them in future settlements.
I'd imagine the same would happen here if we had any big online dealer, due to Australian laws against kids and tobacco.
Really? Aren't these sold as adult collectable? It's easier to get a gun in the USA...
I can guarantee someone leaked and dope bbts. Such a product would have fall under radar. It is quite obvious someone tipped Marlboro off.Quote:

but the thing is, while its sold as an adult collectible toy, BBTS and other retailers don't enforce a minimum age to buy them. therefore, any kid can sign up and buy a toy with their parents credit card.
A toy can be labelled as an "adult collectable", but it is still a "toy". And to the majority of people who don't see a difference, a toy is a kid's concept.
If a toy product has labelling or imagery that implies a tobacco product or brand, then it is too risky in America to sell it.
