1. yes, being positive can be a good thing, and yes getting interested parties to keep asking about a piece sometimes can do good things. I did it with Sideshow for the Pinhead PF for about 2 years, but, I also knew they had started the piece (They released a sneak video) so I knew it was something they had actively been trying to produce. I think with the PM that came from RedAnt that's the first actual tangible piece of news that makes this a little more conceivable. However it doesn't mean it's happening. I think the best thing to do would be to keep this thread for tangible news and possibly create a new thread or, if there already is an interest thread(I think there was at some point) get that one going again. That way one is only bumped if news of the piece comes forward and the other can be for showing PCS exactly how many people are truly interested in still getting this and maybe convincing them it's a good idea to do it.

2. Yes the thread bumps can be annoying, when I see this thread bumped and all it is is someone saying "Please Jerry, Please" instead of any actual news or event hints it does annoy me. See my suggestion above.

3. I'm actually surprised none of the people here already thought about commissioning a piece since it was fairly obvious that before RedAnt's PM there was 0 chance. I'm only guessing that the people who want this either don't have the contacts to make that happen or are staunch PCS supporters.
Love the idea of a panthor which lol I never thought of doing. I tried to pm jerry a while back but his box was full so I let it go but I wanted to enquire about him commissioning a filmation whiplash statue. What would your recommendations be and how does it compare in costs for a run of statues compared to a one off? Thanks

If they'll do then only with these requirements:

1. There IS still a possibility of the Set to come out
2. I want that all who want one yell as loud as they can ^^.

Everything else would be only torture...

Went to PCS website, can't wait for the new one, I know this was a new version but I find it really bad, I'm leaning towards ordering a separate battle cat and getting it painted to resemble panthor but there is nothing on the site.

Even if they renegotiate the contract, finish the sculpt, get approvals, paint it, get approvals, send it in for production samples and quotes for production pricing, you're looking at next year for a PO. That's me being optimistic.

That's why I suggested doing a thread dedicated to showing how many people still want this. Probably with a poll to show numbers. Remember, when He-man was shown people were all about buying it, but when it came time to actually order it obviously fell short or this situation wouldn't be happening.

If you guys can show numbers that say people will definitely PO a Skeletor and Panthor Combo set, even at a higher price, since they've gone up since the He-man Set went up, you might have a shot. I'd also recommend that for the Filmation line, since if they're getting the license back, unless certain circumstances are written into the contract they're going to want to sell more than one statue.

Also try to remember, 100 POs is a drop in the bucket. Average production Runs, EX and Reg. are going to have to be above 500pcs to make it worth paying for a license and then paying to produce it. So if you guys really want it, then show the guys at PCS there's a good number of people willing to pay for it.

Good luck.
