Let's say you was world famous and you knew about this rogue openly cheating your own fans, would you honestly think ignoring it for three years was good enough, followed by telling one fan? For me what they have done is laughable, and Warner's in-action is a disgrace, the fans are being openly cheated and they do nothing, trust me if Warner was losing out financially they would act, but when it's not them just their own fans then fu*k it. In my opinion Warner, Disney etc have an obligation to protect their own fans from rogues like DM. Because they have acted without informing collectors or without making any official statements DM can simply move on to another license and carry on what he's been doing for many years now, with collectors that either don't visit these forums or are choosing to simply ignore it carrying on buying fake products from DM and helping support him and his criminal activities, but one, just ONE official statement from either would send a clear message to all collectors to stay the hell from this low life, I have met many men like DM on my travels and this is how they continue to operate and cheat people. Remember he started his conning around 2002-4 and in that time he has managed to cheat, WWF, Michael Schumacher, Microsoft, Marvel, Techmo, Warner, PBM, F4F, Frank Sinatra (attempted) and this is only the ones we know about, then theirs Alan Green and the artists, myself, Olivier, Chris and Erick and also all the collectors. Now think at what action all the artists and collectors have done so far, we’ve posted on forums, emailed distributers, licensors, online shops, online gaming websites, Facebook etc, reported him to the police and made statements, now look at what all the big multinational, multi million pound companies have done, so far....................................sorry but in my opinion, it’s not good enough, it’s time he was stopped once and for all!

yes they haven't done enough, and should do more i agree. i feel as they should do more to put him and all his minions out of business once and for all. and yes all the artists and collectors and fans have probably done more to expose them. but that is what more than likely swayed them to cut all ties with them. and take away their Marvel license. thats something. they took away the license that scumco so desperately wanted. im not sure if you realize that Dm wasn't working alone on the Marvel license. if marvel knew about DM and DM knew that Marvel knew about his crookedness. i have a feeling it wasn't DM who contacted them to acquire the license in the first place. im pretty sure it was someone by the name of Abdel who acquired the license.. after all. the marvel license was supposed to be for syco middle east. and from what Abdinggle was spewing and bragging about at the CH is that scumco ME was an entirely different company (yeah BS we all knew better) that he was in charge of. he admitted that to Eric Sosa. so im pretty sure he was the one who contacted Marvel about acquiring the license. it would make sense.
with Marvel taking away the license is something man. its not nothing. so you would rather have seen Marvel do nothing and let scumco & Abdel get to keep the Marvel license? i dont think thats what you would want to see happen man.
like i said i agree Marvel and WB should do more and try to put them out of business once and for all. but at least this is a step in the right direction. all we can hope for is that this will lead to more actions taken against them by marvel and WB. and as long as crooked practices are brought to their attention. the better the chances are for that happening. at least i would hope. i can understand why you disagree with me. for i understand where your coming from and that you were effected first hand personally by DM. but them loosing the license is a small victory in the larger on going war against them my friend

yeah after he announces another dozen or so statues on pre-order so he can get enough money to make the ones that are still waiting to get made. or pay some of the factories in china that he owes money too.
and from what i remember is that they said the Liu Kang was on delay due to WB not liking or not approving the statue for how it looked or something. but it looks exactly the same as it did when it was first revealed. doesn't it?

Everyone is responding negatively to the update post and pics by asking where is the Noob Saibot statue that got delayed back in August.

Jerry - can you send these photos to WB and see if they approved the dragon logo.

Still think that Scorpion looks great.....sigh.

I plan to buy the scorpion 18". Yes I feel its morally wrong to support a company that's doing some real shady $h!t, but sometimes you need to weigh your options. If I pass this statue up, I know ill regret it later on down the road. Same goes for the sub-zero fatality 18' statue. Its a must buy for me. Normally id be with you guys and say hell no. But for these two statues, I have an emotional bond. And that takes priority.

[DeadGhostKnight]

I'm hoping i can pick one up from an ebay seller rather than direct from Syco.......will have to wait and see...

[damienjakk]

I was all for the Sub Zero fatality statue to compliment my PCS Scorpion, but Jerry confirmed that an MK9 Sub Zero is one of the statues definitely coming out despite the MK9 line being canned, so I'm going with his easily.
