hmmm... everyone acts like Universe hasn't been a repackage series for the past 5 years.

 

Yep, and there's obviously a reason that Hasbro decided to continue the "Universe" line and not the "Classics" line. They want a line specifically intended that allows them to sell old molds, that they've chosen to kick off the line with a few new molds (most of which are easily repainted into several characters) shouldn't be taken as an indication that the entire line is going to consist of new molds...

 

EDIT: Fix'd for clarity.

Well we are getting new moulds for Hound (Deluxe), Ravage, Cyclonus, Cheetor, and Hot Shot in addition to the new moulds we've seen. So I don't the line will be a complete redeco fest, we will get a good deal of new figures.

But I agree that anyone who's going to be disappointed by large numbers of repaints isn't looking at things realistically.

 

Not that repaints are necessarily a bad thing.

I agree, probably a better choice of words in my previous post would have been "that allows them" instead of "specifically intended" - as the latter implies more that repaints are the primary the focus of the line, which I don't think is the case. At least for now... :07laugh
