Translation:I regret all Kurganski fans for the loss of your pieces. I am confident in the future, you will get what you want.


Thanks Josh, everything is gonna be alright.



I love how when translated is says Kurganski.

No problem. I'm a fan of the Kurgan Kause. The translation was really funny. Cracked me up so much I had to post the russian version. :lol

This is as official as it's gonna get-

The license is expired, and out of a request from the licensor, we have pulled the items off of the site.

Simple as that. Sorry Krusaders.

Oh, and here's a fun fact to drive you crazy- there was a bit of armor made for the origins Kurgan (never finished, though). Will you ever see it? You never know...

Now, I expect to see a "Seline-athon" or a "Pirate Parade" ASAP.

Don't disappoint. ;)

Thanks for the "official as it's gonna git" word Brock! I appreciate knowing why everything disappeared. Is it possible that something will eventually be put in the retired/archive section to at least document what was released? You know me and Creech, we love our Sideshow documentation!!!

And by the way, what was in the water at Sideshow today??? First Chicky gives the EU guys the "what for" and now the "word" from you! I love the brutal honesty!!! We can take it! Keep it coming!!! :rotfl

Time to move along now....nothing more to see here....
 
Sooo, not only is "no line is ever dead" dead, but you can't even access what was available. I can appreciate your honoring the licensor's request, but doesn't Sideshow have a right to show what they have created?
Good news about the bits of origin armor. Too bad it doesn't sound like there's enough for all of you though. There is room for all of you over in the Ape encampment. Hell, Sideshow refuses to show up over there anymore but, like a Kurgan, we keep on churning along!! :monkey5

Sir, you are the fat lady and you have sung.

Coming from Chicago I liked the Krusaders. They reminded me of Cub fans.

Regardless, thank you for the song.
 
Besides, they like to hit all the main characters. They missed the Medieval Kurgan for Highlander because someone had to sculpt the "must have" Salacious Crumb for the big money Star Wars line. Main characters you know.... :rolleyes:

Don't blame SW or LOTR for Highlander not doing well. It was not doing great before either of those lines.

Not blaming either for its demise. Commenting on how, in some lines you wait an eternity for a main character and may not even get it/him. Other lines [$tar War$] get a multitude of lesser, background or filler characters quickly.

That's life though. SW, LOTR, and others like it are full of cool characters that folks have liked for years.

Sure ok. But don't Buffy fans like Giles? I think he, and Cordelia, are much more important to be made to the line than Crimb is to $tar War$. And what a looooooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg wait those fans had. And, do you not think that, had an Origins Kurgan been released early on [c'mon, now MAIN ANTAGONIST of the film], it may have given it a much needed boost. He was at least as important to that film as Darth Maul was to Phantom Menace. Would you not expect to see Darth Vader? Would you not expect fans to complain should the $tar War$ license lapse in time prior to the release of a Vader?

Yeah, besides... SW just sells well and doesn't have the likeness issues that Highlander had.... So no Connery, and Kurgan would have been made.. but poor sales nixed that idea. It's just the way of the world...

At least a Kurgan was made at all.... :cool:

If only Sideshow would make those characters.(This is in reference to LOTR not Star Wars. Announce the next PF already. I mean damn, its been a year.)

And at least someone like you gave the Kurgan a kick ass paint job.

All those are important to their respective items I agree. I'm just saying you can't blame SW or LOTR for the fact these didn't get made. I don't know about the Buffy lines because I thought those sold well but the Highlander stuff never has. Now would a Medival F'n Kurgan helped the line to do better? Probably. As to why it didn't get done? Well, I would say because it took a while to design the armor and the sales may have really dipped. So it could have been that maybe SS figured it was better to just let the line go.

Darth Maul is one of the most popular characters ever in one of the most popular set of films ever. Vader is the same so saying he will get skipped is just too much of a reach.

I like how you still refer to him as the Medieval F'n Kurgan, even with a serious post.
