agreed, well said.
but its not just honest sculptors this guy has ripped off. from what i understand he has ripped off many honest people including his own family (mother and father).
so yeah, who ever buys this sh!t head's crap and supports him and his affiliates. is not only disgraceful. but disrespectful to the people who have been cheated and abused by this low life.

Maybe I misread but didn't the Thundercats line end because it became clear that not enough people wanted to buy any of the other characters besides the main characters of the show?

Yep, Tygra had less than 100 pre orders between both versions iirc.

Even if I didn't hate this company so much, I'm so glad I canceled my preorder on this, not feeling the ugly base or icy arm at all.

It took them nearly 6 months to get the updated pics up, I guess he's 6 months away from getting released now much like Noob.

I love the ice base but the ice arm is not needed but luckily thats a swap out.

Still waiting to see the PCS MK9 Sub Zero first...

I think SYCO just discovered trsnslucent resin.

Yes, partially, for TCATS. That is surely not the case with MK9. Not enough people pre-ordered Tygra from SS, and thus did not have enough pre-orders to continue production.

However, if he released it directly via PCS like he did with Reptile, at the edition sizes he does now, I have no doubt we would still be seeing the TCATS statues.

Personally, the TCATS statues were nice, but I only have room for only so many lines. TCATS don't make it, but MK definitely does....at least the MK9 line does.

Interesting.

As far as the Sub-zero ice base is concerned... I don't like it. I love the look of the translucent resin but the design of the base isn't to my liking at all. Plus I dont feel it complements the statue well.
