What do you make of these mutata?

Obviously Infinity ain't ever coming back but it's odd to see new product using the same art style.

Unless this isn't "New" product so much as it's re-purposed product? Like they wrote off all the unsold figures but they still felt they could make money off the designs in a sense?

There's been a good bit of chatter about these in our ex-Avalanchers Facebook group! I also know of at least one Disney Infinity character artist that is working with/advising on them. It is absolutely a repurposing of our character designs and 3d models, not to mention our brand. The way I see it they didn't have any real reason to do this (aka they aren't selling off old inventory or anything like that) so it seems more like they genuinely liked the design language of the characters and thought that it has financial and artistic merit to do a spin off. Of course their real test will come when they start designing new ones from scratch.

In other words I don't think anyone has any reason to feel bitter or butthurt about it. On the contrary I think it's cool and I hope they sell well. I'll certainly pick up a few if they're quality enough (which knowing DCP is a big question mark but we'll see)!

Microsoft is really blowing it. Sony and Nintendo have been churning out excellent exclusives and both have a load more on the horizon. Microsoft can't even get any decent exclusives in place for the release of what is essentially a new console.

Without some major changes they make not make it out of this console generation.

It's looking pretty clear that they want out, they've moved their poo poo into the shared windows / xbox space.

I can't imagine a world where we're down to nintendo and sony as the only two consoles.

All the MS IPs except for Forza are terrible poo poo and Forza is only good because Polyphony won't just make a proper loving GT game for the PS4.

You don't actually want a new Sega system because that would make all Atlus games exclusive to it.

The Dreamcast 2 would be a huge hit with the SA Games forum since Sega owns all the properties goons love but that I hear about literally nowhere else.

A lot of SotC's impact for me came from the story, once you know what you're really working towards it's hard to go back to killing all those monsters just chillin' out in the countryside.
