I think interest was definitely there despite the high price point when the line originally launched with the Whisper Variant. I know I was pretty much all in at that point. GG just failed to develop the brand with the proposed Honey Trap backstory (via comics IIRC) and the line moved at a snails pace for years while they focused on their paid license properties.

Spotted this today on ebay, presumably by the usual culprit who likes to add/uncover boobies on 1/4 statues.
I think possibly the face paint app has received an upgrade.

Honey Trap Hyper-Deluxe Statue 1/4 Junior Gentle Giant
Pre-order.
This item is expected to be sent to us in: MID 08/2021
Due to limitations in eBay's systems the delivery date provided may not be correct.
The fastest woman alive, Junior Dos Ochos, AKA FIREBALL. Built for action, built for speed.
Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you the latest release in our ongoing Honey Trap series. Our own line of unique, original sculptures that marry the artist's diversity, individual inspirations or influences from different aspects of popular culture with modern design elements and cutting edge digital sculpting technologies.
This gorgeous 1:4 scale statue has been meticulously designed. Cream white race jacket and matching, zip-up boots pay a familiar, yet tongue-in-cheek homage to Steve McQueen's film Le Manns. A matching modern era crash helmet with working visor compliments distinct orange and blue striping and nameplate script. This multimedia statue also features a tutu made of real tulle fabric.
How the statue displays is up to you; with featured helmet on, ready to roll, or use the alternate re-modeled head and hairpiece for a more "at-ease" appearance.
Thoughtfully composed and seated atop 2 realistic Drag style "slick" tires that mount to a clear acrylic base. This lovingly crafted piece features an unprecedented level of detail. Each limited edition statue comes hand-painted, individually numbered with a matching certificate of authenticity and exclusive 1:1 scale engraved keepsake dog tags with a wrench shaped Honey Trap charm.
From concept to creation, our Honey Trap line embraces artistic collaboration and offers elegance, style, and clever design. A true departure from the norm and a standout piece made for the discerning collector.
Each limited edition Fireball statue is hand-painted and comes individually numbered with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. Also included are Junior's dog tags and an exclusive Honey Trap wrench shaped charm. The perfect centerpiece for the displays of statue collectors and art aficionados alike!
I messaged the seller to let them know, the piece had been cancelled ages ago.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I have all but given up believing Fireball will ever come out. I think this line is effectively dead or put on the back burner indefinitely.

Blame it on the Star Wars collectors. I guess there is more $ to be had there.
