A company, especially a new company like PrototypeZ doesn't give estimates like late March early-mid April without having heard an estimate from the company they are waiting for approval from.

I'm almost certain this is why PopCultureShock takes years to release new SF pieces as well.

All of the approval for Capcom fighting games comes from Japan. So I imagine all the approval for Capcom fighting game characters also comes from Japan. Which seemingly takes awhile.

I believe buying a Capcom license is up to Capcom USA. But approval Capcom Japan.

Look at Kotobukiya. They landed the license for an SF Bishujo line last year, yet here we are a year later and haven't seen so much as a preview. Yet they acquired Tekken and Mass Effect at the same time or later and we've seen plenty previews and releases.

So don't fought the companies like PrototypeZ and PCS for the long waits, I'm almost certain it's really not their fought.

I don't know what Koto's plans are for SF, but as you mentioned their other recently acquired licenses seem to be their priority. Yeah, they need to get approved, but sometimes companies (not the license) just request for tweaks that they want done on the said piece. E is a great guy and artist. He was so swamped that he had to cut back on some work since it was affecting his health. Trust me, you'll see, he's going to be doing some amazing things with digital.

they are on to us E. we had this plan of releasing not 1, not 2, but 3, top tier guys right off the bat, no sneaks, just ready to go. now it's in the hands of Capcom, but because these are not PF's and not pre-paints, it should be quicker. Let's hope so.

As for future announcements, we will be getting some shiny new toys this coming week. then lots of training for Erick, Will and Jorge. working on our first newsletter now to announce this new arrival and will send those out as soon as i get the go signal from the crew.

About this 3 ready to go business. They will still be one a month right? Can't afford $175 a pop for all 3 at the same time.
