Bummer. Thanks for the heads up, jal4u2c.

I'm guessing that's the end of the full-size Star Wars ArtFX line.

They didn't say why they were cancelling. I wonder if it had to do with chrome plating it? Maybe after running through QC they found issues with it? Could also be lack of sales for it i suppose. i had it ordered simply because it looked a lot better than the smaller 1/10 version.

I'd guess the lack of sales. Star Wars stuff isn't selling like it used to. Plus, they left Phasma terribly underused in BOTH the movies, IMHO. That was stupid of them.

With the notable exception of Darth Vader, ROTJ version; pretty much all of Koto's Star Wars stuff can be easily found online at their original prices or even discounts. Even the masterpiece that is the R2-D2/C-3PO 2-pack, which looks glorious and is a bargain at that price, apparently undersold.

The Last Jedi ran the franchise into the ground.

Let's hope these numbers cause Disney to lift the ban on Bikini Leia

The newer releases are overpriced as well. $130 MSRP for Rey and Finn, $110 for Poe and BB-8, $120 for Shore and Death Troopers. They had some head-scratching character choices (Executioner Trooper/FN-2198). For some reason the Death Trooper 2 pack has shot up in price recently, but if they want to make money, they need to lower their prices and re-release (Gen. Grievous, Darth Maul, Sandtroopers, Jango Fett) / release in-demand characters from the original trilogy or prequels. I'd love to see:

Qui-Gon, Mace Windu, Count Dooku, Anakin, Padme, Prequel Obi-Wan, Lando, Hoth Leia/Bespin Han, Grand Moff Tarkin, Pilot Luke, Greedo, Rebel Fleet Trooper, Admiral Ackbar, Wedge? I'm happy about the bounty hunters, but not their price point. I'm going to wait until they hopefully drop in price. That Phasma would have sold incredibly poor if they released it. I just hope this isn't the end for this line.
