I’m speechless.
I head over to BBTS today and see that they have a new listing for Kababy Fort Max. “That’s strange…” I think to myself. Then I realize that holy hell, it is not the kabaya but a flesh and plastic reissue of Fortress Maximus!
My mind is kind of messed up about this. As a long-time owner of an original Fort Max that I worked an allowance up for 5 months to get at age 6, I feel this is not quite fair. However, there is an extreme lack of Fort Max’s in the world, and now this will be a chance for everyone to get him.
Will aftermarket prices plummet? Will you be shamed if you had just bought an original for $1000?
Chances are that this version will include many new tampographs in the place of stickers and hopefully some other little goodies or details that were not on the original. This of course helps us differentiate from the original 20+ year old version. Regardless of how I feel about the re-release of one of the fandom’s most holy grails, I pre-ordered one.
Oh yeah, also MP-15 is a Rumble & Ravage set that we already knew was coming.
I love the photo of the Fort Max with the baby! I wonder if we will get accessories the US version did not get.
