What a shame. How do you kill a series like Star Wars? We need a company to take up the reins because Sideshows PF's are meh.

Disney and new feiminist wave at the head of current Lucasfilm killed it themselves.

XM did say in their Chat video that they have pieces in the works. They could just bail on those or Mouse could make them cancel, but they could make them.

I really hope they have been just bailed and will be made then.

an xm rep confirmed star wars is no more. if you read between the lines, the approval process from the mouse became more of a headache than it was worth.

then add the poor reception to fett and the low pre-orders for maul...Also luke is still readily available for retail if you know where to look.

Shame, but as I’ve stated before... had this been a worldwide license things would’ve been different. Star Wars isn’t big overseas and not being able to sell in the US killed this license before it ever got off the ground.

Have to agree with you. XM's Darth Maul offering has left a sour taste in a few of the collectors mouths out there. Check the XM Darth Paul posts if you need more insight.

I do not understand the poor sales for Fett this statue is crazy !

For Maul the statue is also awesome but apparently many manufacturing problems.

re: fett...although a wonderful statue imho, it has a more animated vibe and was not "accurate" which was a big deal to some. the smoke effect was "love or hate" as well.

I literally own every single fett statue made aside from the life size and real bronze. I think the mythos is probably my fav (I wish it was 1/4) and I would rate the xm second.
