Everyone can vote yes in a new poll but if no one buys it there?s no point. I think the only reason Mera made it through with such a low ES is because it appeared on the SS website. I can?t remember a single time SS canceled something that went live on their end.
Who knows what the number of sales might have been if the piece was listed on the Sideshow website?
I, and i am sure others, were waiting for Grail to be listed on the SCC website.

Also, the piece was not exactly well advertised on the Prime 1 website. I know this, as it did not appear to be listed under any of the headings, but could be found using the search feature. Poor promotion by Prime 1

Unless you watch Prime 1 on YouTube or visited a board, which many maybe donot, you might not have been aware of the existence of Grail

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.

Agreed, I too was waiting for SS to carry her and never happened. I eventually lost interest and moved on. I wonder what that ?number? is that pushes a statue to production. Katana is limited to ES 180 and was badly advertised as well. But to be fair, their marketing has improved since, these showcases are a big win for them and SS has now picked up more of their product.

They did cancel their own Rick O'Connell PF a long time ago.

@Shoo i wonder why that was?
I guess it might have had something to do with something out of Sideshow's control, as they have released worse.

I think it was due to a really, really poor response from customers.

Sideshow cancelled the Elder Predator Bust after it went up for PO as well.
