Well, that’s a terrible thing to say, isn’t it? Would you like to rethink that statement whether a joke or not?

There?s also one on Amazon selling for $500. I contacted that seller and asked to be notified once the price goes to $800 at which point I would consider buying it. the seller replied that I was mistaken and the price is $500. I guess the sarcasm went over his head.

Ok ... that is hilarious.

I should sell some so the price can come down a bit...

Considering this happened previously with Spock / Kirk in the $700 range, it was bound to occur with McCoy.
Re the license, QMx has a contract, the details of which are between it and Viacomm-CBS. You (they) can't just cancel it. You'd have to wait for when it is up for renewal and see what happens. Another company would be silly not to pick up a franchise license for 1/6 with 2 shows in production and a film in the works.
Anyway, I know we can see the writing on the wall, but I'd like to give QMx a little consideration. They DID release some great figs and the re-release allowed a lot of people to purchase (including me) the iconic stars of TOS. My poor shelf before just had McCoy and a Captain's chair, which was extra sad, but now it is filled with 1/6 goodness. So, as much s**t talk as we give them, I genuinely hope they manage to pull it together and get some more figures out. They clearly have some work to do on the production side, and if they don't figure out what to do with Scotty and Sulu, they will create a lot of bad blood with their consumers who preordered. So, it's really make or break for them in how they handle this for all future 1/6 releases for that company.
My advice to them is go headsculpt/costume packages. It's been done before - at least costume packages by ACI for figs that were in high demand. Much easier to (not) assemble and ship.

Why would the licensor (CBS/whomever) allow that? That's not the kind of image you want portrayed in the market for your properties.

If you have one I’d rather pay you than an eBay scalper.

I know I have stock somewhere in my warehouse. But I did agreed to a few to assemble McCoy for them with spare, extra, or defective (the better ones) parts. (They will be in Teal set accurate uniforms and No exclusive surgeon shirt)
Dont bomb my email, I am kind of frustrated because I couldnt return to China to clear these promises. Like JL said, promise is jail. I will be in jail for a long time....

If you can’t get them I totally understand, but if you can it would be awesome and like I said I’d rather pay you versus someone on eBay.

I would be very thankful if I could get on a list for Bones.

Hit me up when the virus situation subsidies. I cant go to China now.
Lots of uncertainties...but the return is a custom made McCoy with no packaging. My impulsive behavior might add a gift or two with him [emoji6]
Btw, I wonder who received the season 2 uniforms for Kirk and Spock? I randomly put a set into the stock I had.

I can deal with no packaging. Who knows when it will happen with all the current events going on though.

On a positive note it looks like I chose a good time to get Khan. Only two US listings, one $219.99 (plus $13.91 shipping) and the other is $324.99. Feel pretty good about getting him under $200.

I'll never forgive QMX for not releasing Kirk and Spock from Wrath of Khan, as well as Sam from Supernatural.

I don’t watch Supernatural, but I’d be upset knowing that they only made one of the brothers. If they did one they should do the other.
I have no idea what Supernatural is but if I can get a QMx McCoy I would be just a little bit happier. And then Scotty would be the unexpected icing on the cake.

I am sure Warriors Gate released a good headsculpt of Sam Winchester, if your not good at art just send the sculpt to an artist, also clothing should be easy as the brothers wore street clothing. I believe they also sculpted support cast member of the show as well, it's a very good show but it has been a long time since I've seen it and can't remember the names but I think one of the angels and also the older gent that goes on some of their missions perhaps even others.
