Delayed - Masterpiece Zoids Now March and August

ZoidsZoidsDelays are a thing! I checked Tomy's site and well, here's the latest. The 1/72 Zoids Masterpiece MPZ-02 Saber Tiger is now slated for August. It also shows a variant face piece.

MPZ-01 Saber Tiger is now March. Obviously more delays can (will) happen, and as far as I know these are the only kits en route. Obviously we're all hoping for Gojulas, Iron Kong, and of course Geruder. And War Dick.

Hasbro Moves Some Toy Production to India

Hoof ItToysVia All About MLP Merch: Hasbro moves Part of Production to India. Before you say "I don't care about pony" let me stop you - this is actually pretty significant as toy stuff goes.

In the 1980s and 1990s, stuff was manufactured and assembled in all sorts of places - maybe Macau, maybe Mexico, maybe Indonesia, and of course maybe "China" proper. Some things were even still made in the USA - but in the late 1990s and 2000s, most of your small plastic men came from China. Hot Wheels moved to Malaysia, because China won't allow any foreign entity to completely own a factory - Mattel runs the show in Malaysia, and as such can more tightly control whatever labor or manufacturing techniques keep the small cars at a dollar after several decades. It's really quite amazing.

China is a de-facto one-stop shop for manufacturing - you can get screws, packaging, product, and raw materials pretty closely together. This has resulted in the rise of the middle class (as your high school teachers predicted as one of two default answers to almost any question), meaning higher wages and an appetite for more interesting goods. Companies therefore need to keep moving to keep costs down with lower wages or different regulations, or different quality control, or diversity in case one country's ports get clogged and you want to make sure you've got something. Transformers mostly moved to Vietnam a few years ago for new stuff, some of the older tools are still in China so be sure to check your various Platinum items with older molds and reissues to see where those came from. New stuff is coming from Vietnam with few to no exceptions, as far as I can tell. The toys are simpler and, in many ways, cheaper.

India has worked with Hasbro before (Funskool's G.I. Joe line comes to mind) so seeing things like this mean we're hopefully going to see them ratcheting up their options and hopefully continuing to deliver us all consistent wares at hopefully not-increasing prices. They make some changes based on freight, but thanks to trade agreements and other loopholes we could even see returns to some of the odder manufacturing techniques of the 1990s, such as an item being manufactured in Asia, assembled and/or packaged and Mexico, and shipped to the United States for sale. It's a strange, newish world.

Also, check out this unpackaged shots of Optimus Prime. The clear door kibble works on the robot mode, but is pretty dreadful on the vehicle. Here's hoping this is the "GOODBYE, MEGATRON" set for these molds and we get something new next year. I'd wager that this set is going to be $70-$90 if/when it hits the USA, but let's wait and see.

Stretch ArmstrongToysVia Hasbro: A press release! Which was short. It is as follows.

NETFLIX CONTINUES TO EXPAND ITS AWARDWINNING KIDS ORIGINAL SERIES FOR MEMBERS WORLDWIDE

Beverly Hills, Calif., January 28 , 2016 - Continuing its investment in original content for kids of all ages, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), the world's leading Internet TV network, is adding three new original series to its lineup. Suspenseful drama The Greenhouse expands the live action category for tweens that currently includes Degrassi: Next Class, Lost & Found Music Studios and Project Mc2. The iconic Hasbro brand Stretch Armstrong will make its television debut with an all new look in an animated series. A musical update to the new Lalaloopsy series joins a growing portfolio of shows created to engage and pique the curiosity of young kids. All episodes from each new series will launch on Netflix at the same time around the world.

"With roughly half of our 75 million members regularly watching kids content, we're happy to expand our original slate with these three great series," said Andy Yeatman, Director of Global Kids Content for Netflix. "We know kids love Netflix and that's in part because they never really outgrow us. We program and recommend new TV shows and movies from preschool through their teen years and into adulthood."
