A little bit of correction there...Roy Sutherland was in charge of project development at 21st Century Toys, he wasn't the CEO. He made sure everything looked and was designed right. I believe a man named Jim Allen is the CEO of 21st Century Toys. It is true that Roy no longer works for 21st and now has his own decal company.

With 21st having the financial problems that they have been rumored to have, I highly doubt this is a 21st product. I believe bbi would be a safer bet but I find it highly odd that with it being completed already or as close to finish as it is, they haven't dropped it with retailers in the US.

I guess time will only tell. I've put an e-mail in to Kawai Toys. I'll let you know what I find out.
