I honestly don't know how well the first statue would have done it we'd started with Bludd. Maybe just as well as Destro, who knows. That's assuming Hasbro would have LET us start with Bludd.

To be fair, when we started development, I don't know if those similarly scaled statues at GameStop had been revealed. I'm not even sure why they double-licensed it, TBH.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

A company does a run of five or 10 like PCS, Prime 1, etc. and it's always the same guys. I don't know it from a business side, but as a collector, it's frustrating to see a line start and die so quickly.
The transformers always do the same thing. You see the same five everyone has done and then they wonder why nobody is buying them all and kill the line.

Watched Pixel Dan walk through at ToyFair. Sorry to hear you weren't able to attend Zach, hope you feel better.

Secondly after not having interest in the Joe Colton figure I'm intrigued by the update to the hair. Plus the snake and the water effect look incredible.

Is this what you are talking about?
Are they gonna change the hair to something furry?

I finally got Baroness as an early xmas gift and I really hope we get a Scarlett for her to face off against. Ideally with her posed opposite so they can be displayed together.
