Guess they made their numbers and they dont see they are going to make profit from this or the risk is too high.
What a pity, I was going to buy it for sure.
Wow, I hope they reconsider. They have a solid looking figure here and with a tweak here and there it can be a real home run.
I might not know what the guys in the industry do, but as an outsider looking in I'd think that the 1/6 market is at it's all time peak right now. It's a bubble that will probably burst, but I don't see it bursting this year or even next.

Insufferable S.O.B.
Well I'm sure Thing wasn't going to sell anything like Iron Man or Star Wars, but I would think prolly better than SONS.
Agreed. The figure has problems, but I think from where it started it was a big improvement. Much better than SSC's attempt at a Russell.

Or it could be the epic amount of mass produced unlicensed figures coming from China. No constraints, approval requirements or royalties. Going to be hard to compete in the future for any licensed company.
And there's always bootlegs coming out at a crazy rate. Just look at SSC's Wolverine. It was out before the official one.

Yeah, I'd think so too... bummer. I was looking forward to this one and the Darkness they teased from Legend.

Real shame - like the rest of you - I was looking forward to this.

My concern, what I'm guessing, is the loss of An American Werewolf in London
That's my worry, too. If they don't think MacReady will sell (with his flame thrower and guns and evil head-crab accessories), then what chance do a couple of guys with backpacks have?

And because they used Toribox for the protos, that means that customs are screwed out of getting the best tailor.
Good news. Good riddance.
Oh, man... what an idiot.
Here's hope someone who can actually produce ONE SIXTH SCALE figures will pick up the license.

According to DarkMario THOSE have bit the dust too . . . from the "AAWIL" statues/props thread . . .

Damn! This looked a neat fig from a cult classic. Might not of been a crazy good seller but this sucks.

This is too bad...
I'm not surprised. The prototypes weren't great with zero updates for months. PCS is a statue company. They saw the coin HT was making and wanted some too. And failed.
Why did they drop the ball on this then? Is the 12" market really collapsing? My guess is there are now so many companies trying to get a slice of the pie that its made the 1/6 market to ultra competitive for some smaller companies.
