I don't think this is true. I would have before the release of the Thor announcement. I don't get why you have 3-statues released in a line then stop. Are the Greek god sales that bad? If the focus is on naked women, which I thankfully believe it is, why not a Hera or an Aphrodite? You would think they would at least give these a try to see if sales were better.
Where does Thor fit in? Certainly they will not have a Thor comic. If anything, I would think that Greek gods would be featured in the mermaids comic.
I think there is a chance we will see Hades down the road, but I also think it's coolness will be its biggest enemy. Look at the potential $... $300-400 for a throned Hades + $300-400 for the apple girl + $100-300 for cerebus... And that's an expensive statue. Who is laying down a grand for that statue? I'm sure five people would with no hesitation, but who's buying the other 95? If the Frazetta statues said anything it's that sheer coolness doesn't equal sales.
They need small, once figure, $400 statues that appeal to a wide range of people that other companies are not producingthatbthey don't pay liscence on. If you want proof about this direction, look at the bottoms of the new upcoming statues with the cool raised pics of the figure... That's the future my friends... And that's not something you can put on a large statue base. Just my enlightened opinion.
