It'd be like Hasbro Australia releasing a limited edition GIJoe Fred 7 Homage toy, and toy collectors here going, 'who the f... hell is that'?
That's not quite right as the comics featuring Fred 7 was as common as TF comics out here, so most fans of GI Joe would know Fred 7. And they did release a Fred7 hommage figure online to, as part of a three pack.

But I do see your point, but isn't hasbro diversifying its repaint hommages a bit now with micromasters and other lesser known TF's and even Gobots.
