Oh yeah - I have their Black Canary and Harley figures and they're excellent. But after SE/SS, they are at Diamond Select levels of delay on the rest of the Joe stuff.
I thought it had been mentioned in your thread already, but the Encore Max had a ton of QC issues that people complained about when he was released. It was bad enough that as I recall, some stores like BBTS opened the packages to inspect them prior to shipping them out to customers (with...
I would assume there's a difference between printed media and physical toys. As you say, Hasbro owned the names and fiction, so it makes sense they could authorize someone to make a comic (fiction) using that. That's entirely different from making new toys based specifically on Bandai designs.

It was leaked last month. I'm not surprised because folks have been demanding this for a while - now we'll see whether they put their money where their mouth is. I've already seen the excuses flying: not big enough, not enough stuff included, too expensive, blah blah blah. People seem to forget...
Lol. You answered your own question.
The giant yellow galoshes make up a full third of the color layout.
Ultimately it just seems like an odd choice. We got all orange/yellow Mainframe with the Ark. A fully colored rerelease would've likely made me snag this. Instead, eh... Not worth it. I...
