Adding character upgrades as a series of patches is a great solution. Let's them take their time and not have to do all upgrades at once, and thus not interfere with new content releases. It can provide updates throughout the year, particularly at time when there aren't new figures coming out. As for fighting over which characters get upgraded first, I think most people wouldn't really mind. I think most will agree that the Toy Story trio were the most neglected in terms of initial development, so that might be a good place to start. In any case, I would rather my least favorite character from 1.0 got updated than no character upgrades at all!

I would be more than satisfied if they started working on some characters. As long as we know they're open to the idea of going back and making moves towards this is all that matters. I'm mature enough to understand that it might take time, and we shouldn't get upset if our favorite character isn't one of the first.

Has anyone tweeted this thread and the petition to JV and Al? Not much point making a noise of there's nobody to hear it.

Still, JV did mention they have upgraded ALL of the 1.0 character moves in 3.0 - but no new skills yet. He specifically said they would be asking the community for ideas and they have a huge folder of requests already. He also talked about it as a digital update. All that points to "yes, but later".

^Im wondering if they will get to this or not......

@wherestron Besides driving mechanics, I wonder if the Cars characters will get anything upgraded? They don't really have any skill sets to speak of, not like the other characters. But I'm glad the other characters will be able to make use of some of the new moves.

That's an interesting question, @InfinityApprentice. They really haven't done anything with Cars, which is a shame for some. But they have introduced much improved driving mechanics in 3.0, so it would be good if the Cars characters had some advantages in that respect, and perhaps extra ability to do tricks, equip weapons and the like. Would give them a new lease of life.

Actually, as far as racing goes, I hope they dumb down some of the abilities they gave the Cars characters in 2.0. Fully upgraded, the cars can perform tricks so much faster than a regular figure in a vehicle, which means the Cars are going to have a huge advantage building boost. They were also able to jump insanely high. I'm guessing they'll remove some of these abilities in the Speedway, as I don't see how they'll allow for a fair race lol.

Cars characters would be hard to upgrade, two of them would be interesting though. Having flight capabilities with wings jet engines and parachutes.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this with all the Syndrome flight, or Buzz laser going on, but does Phineas have the tech talent ability in 2.0? It would require almost no effort to allow him to press x to activate a terminal. And who could argue that the skill wouldn't fit with his character?

Edit: Phineas does have that ability, my bad
