So When CM comes to making SW characters who are they gonna choose?
Luke?
Obi Want?
Vader?
Boba Fett?
All of these are must haves for many people, some people would probably even want more like Han, Chewie and Leia!
Even C3PO and R2D2!
CM realy shot them selves in the foot on this one!

CM made 3 Terminator Maquettes, and they sold well. Very well indeed!
More Alien and Predators would sell evenly as good maybe even better!
So CM should undo there crap decision!

In which case I would be inclined to agree to an extent.

Lord Vader would clearly be the correct choice as an individual representation of the entire franchise.

Definetly Darth Vader although Boba Fett would be a sweet CM too.

CM are a small company. I would imagine getting right from Lucas to produce more than one maquette would cost alot of money particularly when their ES are small and they only appear to release one item per year.
With the current economic climate it's time to consolidate.

Their choices have to have a Market. With regards
to The Dark Knight the only characters from that movie are Two Face and The Joker.

I dont think it is a business move at all. George is simply making the characters he grew up loving, that he finds to be ICONIC character. I highly doubt it has much to do with business as I am sure toynami brings in enough dough.. George does this for his passion for the characters, the pieces and this hobby. There are so many iconic characters yet to be tapped, instead of concentrating on one franchise.

Not sure how many or when they plans on stopping. Alot of what is chosen has to do with liscenses and aproval from the actors, which from what I understand alot of iconic actors do not like thier portait being sculpted..
Since Cm does iconic characters, there are still alot yet to tap into. With the latest one release per year. I think we have a while to go.
