Just never happened.

What line did Vlad the Impaler fall into? Yeah I knew that about the Ripper piece.

Sales seemed ok for this line, so it's kind of weird they abandoned it.

Yeah, Ellianastis is great, and yeah the Angel's and Demons would have been really popular, Exraile is the traitor Angel, I think he could be the coolest of all, also Kier as an Angel in premium format would have also been popular, seems they got caught up in making to many different scales of the same figures instead of focusing on what statue collectors wanted (new characters) the guy on Facebook said he talks to Tom? So I guess it's still possible at some point they actually do release something, but they have ruined all the momentum, Tom is the main guy at sideshow and this was HIS personal creation, I just dont understand why he cant even do a YouTube video saying the Court is not finished? Again the guy on Facebook stated that Tom said the COTD was still going just delayed because of Covid etc.. I guess if anything ever does come out it will be a great surprise for me personally

I really hate seeing post like yours, but I absolutely understand, I did get frustrated and sell 5 of my least favorite ones, but still have 17 statues and 6 or 7 art prints

Only bought the Queen from this line. So yeah ... I'm over it.

That's a real shame, sorry to hear that.

I remember Tom had said the line was continuing, he may even have something in the pipeline but as you say silence doesn't encourage people to pay attention.
Still won't sell the ones i have though.

If I remember right Vlad was part of a historical figures line that also had Black Beard the Pirate.

So the last new Court PF was Stryfe Oathbreaker, that was announced January 2021, so 18months ago.

While that sucks for Court collectors it isn't really that long. I'd say if you see nothing at Spook then really start to worry.

That's what I was thinking, Spook or nothing.

Never heard of this, but probably a line that should have been nipped in the bud...
