Panthor at Point Dread
Battle Cat vs Roton
Terrific colors on the Panthor set!
Also, on an un-MOTU note, they have a new "Wonder Builders" theme, which is a bit of a surprise to me:
Army Tank
Boot Camp
Fighter Jet
Copter Rescue
City Fire Squad
City Fire Truck
City Police Chase
City Rescue Unit
I'm delighted to see them dabbling once again in non-licensed products, even if such ventures don't always carry the clout of fan recognition.
I don't know why they don't put out more of this kind of set, since most of the time they include few new or unique elements, so it's not as though they have to pay for new molds. They have a ton of brilliant set designers, so I'm sure that they could crank out an amazing series based almost solely on Mega's existing parts catalog. The ill-fated My Life As line from a few years back had a bunch of nice sets with great accessories, and almost everything was built from established parts, though some were in new colors. But IMO this kind of branching out can only help the brand, as it can boost shelf visibility and make Mega seem less like a niche product.
Of course, the mystery is whether any of these will ever see the light of retail day. Time will tell?
