Absolutely I do, some guy on Facebook claims to know Tom and swears the COTD is alive and well, but at this point I dont believe him, it's a shame Tom cares so little about people that supported his line that he can't say anything about it for a whole year, I think I'm the last fan at least on this forum and I'm close to giving up and selling off part of my collection

At SDCC, I was part of a conversation where Tom said that COTD is not dead, but I didn't get the impression that a new release was coming anytime soon.

Ok thanks, real shame, even for a diehard like me, its impossible to stay interested in a line that releases nothing, I dont count apples

I'd like a 1/4 Obi-Wan. Ideally sculpted like their latest PF's, from ROTS or the Disney plus series. Hopeful for a decent NYCC showing but doubtful for anything from Spooktacular.

Every year they tell us and every year people forget or ignore. Spooktacular may have been in the past, but its not set up as a reveal event now. The most they have is one variant and maybe 1 other thing which maybe any line. Just be prepared to accumulate a ---- ton of reward points if you decide to play along.

Storm i'm sure if they do a variant it will be next year. I'm going with likely Deadpool x-force variant. Not that its what i want but just likely.

NYCC may likely have a few more reveals this year, i'm going to guess maybe 2-3 for there online event.

COTD is likely just stuck in development, also i'm sure its not as big priority as much as Star Wars PF's.

I bet I'm the only person that likes Azazel but not Nightcrawler. That would be more than a palette swap, and they'd only sell one (1), so, I won't hold my breath.

I have a variant Elektra and the biggest thing is went from red to black outfit. However, the smaller piece is the foot peg was redesigned to be more stable and substantial.

Sinestro variant had his suit sculpt changed, along with color, and a different energy construct switchout hand.

I think the Sabretooth variant had the most changes made from an original sculpt. Off came the fabric modern costume on the OG PF and in came a sculpted classic costume on the variant that's completely different from the first release. I thought the variant was a tremendous improvement over the OG PF. A lot of time had to be put into reworking the OG sculpt to make the variant.

I'm hoping something similar can be done with Storm and Cyclops. Retool the recent releases of those characters and put them in their classic costumes. Sideshow is so close to having a solid Byrne lineup. I know I would instantly buy both variants if they were released.

Last year was weird. We didn't get a variant during Spook, but we got one 2 weeks earlier during online NYCC, the blue hunchback Batman.

[BurningRage]

King Hulk and Red Son Superman had some changes.
