Nobody will blame Jerry for this not happening.
I just opened this poll thread because I love these statues so much that I am really expecting at least to get Mer-man, and of course Skeletor panthor.
I know that could not be as lucrative for them than SF and MK, no doubt about that, but increasing a bit the price could compensate a bit this matter.

And I am sure at least for he-man battle cat combo, if Jerry makes Skeletor panthor, a lot of another he-man battle cat would sell, because a lot of collectors want the pair.

A collector here posted a lnk showing more he-man battlecat are in pre order because when Jerry said he cancels Mixed Media line, some collectors cancelled their he-man bc combo because they wanted the pair.

Regarding Mer-man I am sure he would sell very well, at least to be profitable to PCS and give us a happy end to this line.
Shera for sure is not the most demanded character after he-man as Jerry believes.

For MOTU classics, Shera and Princess of power are selling way less than he-man and Masters of the universe figures, in this case Mer-man.

So that is the same for statues : Collectors are mostly men and they have nice memories with he-man skeletor and hordak as toys, but no with Shera.
They could with the cartoon and if they have sisters who got Shera during their childhood, but the number is tiny in comparison with all of them they played with he-man and skeletor.
So I am sad Jerry made Shera before Mer-man. We could have had Mer-man and he would have finished with Shera.

It could have been Mer-man and no She-Ra.
Me personally given they were both equally well done I'd buy She-Ra in an instant over Mer-Man.

No matter how much they got right and how much work and skill went into it the She-Ra statue just didn't hit it the right notes like some of the other ones.

Of course someone like Mer-man wouldn't be held to the same standard as a human female.

I wrote all that to illustrate the magnitude of the difference.
1 SF statue pays someone's salary and gets another prototype made while the MOTU statue can't do either.

Plus Jerry has to go with his gut and what he can see. Economics is always about looking at the past to decide the future. That difference was selling Mer-Man at $500. How many people ewould really buy it at that? How does Jerry believe a $500 Mer-Man would sell?

I just wanted to illuminate more of Jerry's side the leap of faith we are asking him to make.

These were the points I was trying to make but I think you did a better job of it.
