The new movie design should have been well completed now so it's not this.

The change seems to be a routine rotation within the design department. Understandable from an HR point of view....but it baffles me as a collector.

I have mixed feelings about the change. Kobayashi is a hellva designer but I just really like what Hasui has done to the new MP line. And I was really looking forward to Hasui tackling real challenges like Megs 2.0. Now he won't have the chance to prove that he can design more than "just G1 transformation made fancier".

I hope Kobayashi doesn't over-complicate the designs and have better attention to details this time around.
