To those inside the offices who don't believe a Snow White PF would sell, remind them that Snow White was able to make the Hulk and Vader her beatch.

I was actually never told why the line didn't continue, so I really do not know the reasons as to why the line stopped, sorry. Getting them into the parks (at the time we were making them) was not possible due to what could and couldn't be sold in the parks at that point in time.

it's so quiet since Deathwing went up for PO in Janurary. The page still shows Oct-Dec 2015 for shipping... Any chance to really have him in this time frame? I don't trust you since I saw so many items pushed back X times :P

As of now Deathwing is still estimated to ship in that time frame. That could always change for various reasons but for now it's still on track for that time frame as I type this response.

Full sculpt and mixed media will exist within the Marvel line for the foreseeable future. Whether a piece will be fully sculpted or have cut and sew elements will be decided on a piece by piece/character by character basis.
Currently there are more fully sculpted items then those with mixed media elements for sure though!

Will any on the Masters of the Universe statues go on preorder this year???
Which one will be first?
Will AquaMan have a second portrait?
Will Death from COTD go up for sale this year?
Thank you for your time

He-Man is the expected first piece to Pre-Order this year. Skeletor should be this year as well but given the paint updates occurring on him he could always push into early 2015 for Pre-Order.
I haven't seen the fully done Aquaman prototype, so I really do not know if a second portrait will be included or not.
Death will more than likely not be up for Pre-Order this year.

I do not know if the Star Wars Mythos line will return. The hope was to bring it back in the future when it had to be put on hold but that was almost a year ago now (actually maybe it's been a year now...time flies).
More OT PFs are being worked on. Jabba in 1/4? I just don't know honestly. That would be one HUGE 1/4 scale item.

I still do not have any confirmation about the light-up features for Vader. More than likely if they do accomplish having elements on him light-up, we'll update folks through a photo gallery.

I haven't heard it will cause an effect.

I know it says Oct-Nov on her order page but these COTD pieces seem to be plagued by delays.
Thanks.

The time frames put on the site are always months that it is estimated that a piece should ship. As for Siren, that Oct - Nov time frame is the latest estimated ship time frame for her. The hope is she will indeed ship during that time frame but there could be many reasons why that time frame couldn't be hit (i.e.: port delays, unsatisfactory review pieces received, etc.).

3. Do you know anything about any future Birds of Prey PFs (Black Canary, Huntress) or a Nightwing PF?
Thank you!

I'm only aware of her left hand getting an adjustment to give it less of a salute look. I have not been informed that her portrait will change. If her portrait does get a change then y'all will see that in the updated preview image that will show up shortly before she goes up for Pre-Order.
I don't believe the Black Queen will be happening, sorry.
I don't have info about future PFs based on Birds of Prey. I can of course guess that we'd more than likely explore those characters for future products but I've not been told...yes, we will be making XYZ Birds of Prey collectibles. If we do, we'll announce it through our site and social platforms.

Sabretooth is the only one I've been told about. When I inquired about future pieces getting the same treatment I was told no though.

I saw that picture. Not entirely sure of it's source but can confirm that no...Doom on Throne is not getting a fully sculpted release.
