Better late than never, I'll be happy whenever it is. 
Other than Walking Dead, their releases haven't be spaced too horribly. At least GoT has had three figures within a year and Walking Dead has had about three figures in about four years
I doubt it will be long before we see the full pics of Pinhead with an order date sometime in March. Who knows how long it will take for the next figure after that though. I just find it odd how they'll announce the license for one thing and take forever to develop it and then just announce a new license and have something ready to go right out of the gate. Their priorities are really screwy.

I have a feeling the massive amount of preorders they'll get for Pinhead will encourage them to get him out a bit quicker. I can't imagine many people are clamoring for a Chappie figure, which may have something to do with his delay. Just my guess of course.

no disrespect but your way off, delays via threezero and its sister company threeA are normal and have been for years it has nothing to do with the product. their shipping estimates are a joke. they have no idea how long it will take the factory to produce the figures hence the delays. consider how complicated chappie is also. 100% original piece, not on a buck 1/6 body mold etc
if you cant tolerate waiting a year do not PO anything via 3A or threezero.

So this is the next release
EVILFACE
Insufferable S.O.B.
I guess this is from the recent Prof X version? Why did he give him bondage pants? Harry Potter musta done that. Man that movie looked awful. First Frankenstein flick I've avoided.....

I saw that and thought it was a April Fools joke.
Pretty baffling choice.

I'm going to stay hopeful that after this release 3z will do the typical Jason Freddy leatherface...there are so many amazing customs but a nice mass produced version of each is what I'd like and would fit with pin head well...

I really hope your right dude, I have been hoping the exact same thing for years, but after seeing this latest offering, I would assume they have run out of the better licences and Pinhead is probably the most well known icon we may get from them, im soooo hoping im wrong?

Wow the design of the monster looks god awful. I haven't seen the movie so I'm glad I'm and won't be getting this but I probably will check out the film at some point since I do love Frankenstein films. Heard it was terrible but I will at least watch it once and never again. Bad choice threezero.
Very bad choice. Unless threezero is starting a bondage line of 1/6 figures then maybe it's ok, or not I don't know.

The movie was pretty good actually, but even as a huge Frankenstein fan, I'll be passing on that figure. Very, very odd choice.
And yet they continue to ignore the Walking Dead cash cow. I just don't understand threezero.

Mr. Cheeseman I'll keep my fingers crossed because if it gets more obscure from this "Prometheus" I can't imagine what they'd be. Mr. Munch I also don't know why they've lagged it on the walking dead line....I think maybe their production cannot match their licenses so they try to jump all over the place
That's the infuriating thing! If they don't have the resources to handle all of the licenses they do have, then they should stop taking on additional ones! What's so odd is we got a full Merle prototype YEARS ago with the Pet Walkers. YEARS after the Walkers were released, they make a Rick figure - based on a look that didn't even exist when the Merle prototype was being shown. A look that didn't exist when they tease some pieces of Daryl, Michonne, and Sheriff Rick. I honestly don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but its very odd and all over the place!
A figure I am looking forward to though is their TV Hannibal figure. Bryan Fuller has seen it and apparently loves it, so that gives me hope that figure will be revealed soon. But again, another strange property for them to get with the show being cancelled. A figure I am planning on picking up though.
Pinhead was a great way to start this horror "legacy" line, but to make the second figure from such a recent film, and one that nobody seemed particularly attached too, is a head scratcher. A Karloff, DeNiro, and Lee Frankenstein would have been more welcome, heck maybe even a Van Helsing version! The newline slashers, Michael Myers, Hammer Horror, Saw, etc would have all seemed like more logical choices for a follow up figure - or even more Cenobites!
What few figures I have from ThreeZero, I'm very pleased with - even more so considering their much, much lower prices than HT and Sideshow (almost like official figures at bootleg prices). But their management of lines and licenses leaves much to be desired. I don't feel their are using their limited talent and resources effectively. I'm not saying they should only be making Walking Dead, but it seems they should be able to put all of those figures they've teased YEARS ago by now. Granted, HT is guilty of that too (AC Joker and Prometheus come to mind) but it seems much more inexcusable for such a small company to lose some of these projects in the mix. They seem more focused on one-off figure prosperities than actual lines. Other than Walking Dead, their other "lines" like Game of Thrones, Robocop, and Breaking Bad got their companion pieces relatively soon. Otherwise, it seems more like a one-and-done license - like I imagine Hellraiser and Frankenstein to be.
Sorry for the rant. Very mixed feelings with ThreeZero.
