Supposedly, FASA originally approached a company called Twentieth Century Imports in order to sub-licence the rights to the "Unseen". I don't know if there is much of a market for BT (or for Alpha Strike) in Japan nowadays - but if there is, they'd likely get the same "in-house" art and miniatures being developed for use in the West. Hello all, you may remember me from my post a few weeks ago inquiring about which rulebook or starter box I should buy to get into the game. Ironically enough, CGL's policy of avoiding the use of any third-party 'Mech art - from Macross or elsewhere - seemingly extends to the Japanese BattleTech designs which Studio Nue had produced for the early release of the game system over there. But at this point, even if Studio Nue and Big West were to cross the Pacific and take things up with HG directly, the result would no longer affect the "Unseen" - as those designs are being retconned out of the BT universe to make way for the new "classic" re-models. (As it happened, this issue sprang up at the same time another company wanted to add a very Timber Wolf-looking 'Mech to the Exo Squad toy lineup.)Īccording to recent Japanese court rulings on the matter, Tatsunoko themselves may not have been in a position to offer such a all-inclusive deal to HG in the first place, as the individual unit designs from Macross belong to Studio Nue and Big West over in Japan. ![]()
