Jerry hasn't said anything about the 1/4 Akuma revisit being cancelled, as of now.

I dont think that Jerry would cancel/postpone the 1/4 scale one just because a 1/3 one is coming up....
...look at the mk stuff. they have released 3 (!!) scorpions mk9, classic and 1/3 and three sub zeros classic, mk9 and 1/3 (probably) so i would count on there being enough demand for it. and this is not even counting the busts.
Plenty of people dont want to get into 1/3 and are chomping at the bit for another 1/4 scale akuma. (particularly in that bad ass pose when he taunts with his feet planted)
Although people see the original akuma as a grail, I am not convinced. although i know it started it all etc etc etc...and the piece has history, but the pose is average to me. (although I admit i have never seen it in person)
When it came down to it, I knew that I was EITHER going to get akuma or Zangief when these were the only two I had left to collect, and I went with Gief. He is a big bad mother----er in a unique pose, and completely different to any other streetfighter. With all due respect, akuma is too similar to ryu and ken to justify the high price for me and I am sure many others, so we wait.
anyway thats just my two cents....
