But how much would they change? SS prides itself on being screen accurate, so were the Sweeps different than Scourge?ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:They might be thinking a redeco is a better way to get more sales from the mold than just repacking Scourge, given his shelfwarming during Titans Return.
Isn't that too far off the screen accuracy? I think if the deco got changed, it would be just darker or lighter blues.I would bet on them using this deco:
As for the voyager/deluxe debate, you're probably right that it costs Hasbro less to just redeco the Scourge figure and get more out of the same mold, but I don't think it would sell as many units as a voyager at $30 as it would as a deluxe at $20. But maybe the price difference and the savings on not having to design a new mold would make up for it.
Personally, I'll buy Scourge and I already have a TR Scourge and I'll get 1 more to act as Sweeps, because I also think Scourge should have a distinction as the leader by being bigger and looking a bit different.
My other question is whether they will do the same thing with Cyclonus and give him his "armada" from TF:TM, but that maybe a discussion for the Kingdom thread.
