@Spyne I know this is a dial-up for the older heads in the hobby, but I’m hoping the IDW book from a few years back and that SDCC 2017 fig will be enough to inspire the Legends team to pull the trigger.

You make a good point about Conan, a character I also want Hasbro to take on. I think another reason Rom might appear first is that Mezco recently delivered a stellar Conan and they may prefer to let the dust settle first - and that’s without factoring the upcoming Savage Crucible non-Conan Conan. The Conan field has competition, whereas Rom will only be competing with their SDCC offering you mentioned.

The Micronauts' lic. was exactly where my mind went as I was reading the Gamesradar article. Micronauts is a deep need for me that harkens back to my young childhood (along with Rom) where all of my interests in toys, toons, sci-fi and comics blended together. You’ve layered it even further with Shogun. Force Five aired in New England when I was a kid and this is foundational nostalgia for me. What if Hasbro actually ventured a Red Ronin as a Haslab to tribute Shogun Warriors (since the Marvel mech was based on their designs)? Or, Hasbro could go all out and simply remake the Shogun Warriors as their own Haslabs…oh, the possibilities.
