Looks like the Cherub and Dark Elf #2 are shipping now. Anyone pick them up?

I don't think the movie was popular enough to support higher priced items like these. It sucks because they look really great. I'd have started with smaller version 'prop replicas' like Trick or Treat has done. Maybe the Evil Teddy Bear and Gingerbread Men. I was surprised when Weta told me they had no plans to make Gingerbread Men - I thought they'd sell like gangbusters...
Yeah this movie is pretty much unknown
Hopefully it's just sad.As much as I love the movie, there's little chance that I ever would have forked over the $400+ (that Weta most likely would have charged) on a 1/6 Krampus that I only would have displayed for a couple months out of the year. I would have no problem spending maybe $75 on something smaller that I could put on the mantle around Christmas time. Hopefully some other company like NECA will pick up the Krampus license.
At this point, I don't see any new company picking up the license and running with it - without the promise of a sequel. I know Trick or Treat Studios had 11 masks in the works and have released 3 of them. I'm hoping we get more for 2017 like we're supposed to, but it does seem to be stretching it...
Sadly both of you are right and I found out the line is officially dead and no plans to even make Krampus himself. So bogus but I will be picking up one of the 2 from the Black Friday sale. I wanted to get Krampus at least and maybe one day they will give him to us but to end the line with the Cherub and Dark Elf 2 is just plain sad.
I agreeWith an obscure license like this, they should have done Krampus first just to get the main character out there
Eleven masks! If you have a link, I'd like to see at least the 3 that are already released. Thanks.

They're (unsurprisingly) sold out of Krampus, but I did pre-order one of the Dark Elf (Sheep Cote Clod) masks over the summer. It is incredibly huge. And awesome. Now decorating for the holiday season is fun instead of depressing, ha ha.
