Why wasn Fortress Maximus released for RiD?
Hasbro did some work on Fortress Maximus in preparation for a 2003 release, but they weren’t able to bring him up to modern safety regulations, and there are no current plans to release him. However, Takara has granted the licensing rights to a Korean toy company named Sonokong, who will be producing Brave Maximus again. As of this writing, bigbadtoystore.com is expecting to have the toy in stock by mid-to-late January.
