These statues have been solicited through Diamond and our vendor network since last year, any forthcoming decision would be based on this data.

I'd be potentially interested in the Rogue as a website exclusive, depending on what the price ended up being.

It surprises me that this would be the case, at least on Rogue. Sabretooth just had two versions released by Bowen, and has a third on the way, so that makes sense. Rogue, really only has the Bowen version in this scale, and that one is a few years old and not too popular. I really hope Rogue makes it through, I was planning on getting her.

Market oversaturation of Rogue in this costume maybe to blame.
Im not too fussed about Rogue since there's plenty of her around the same scale in this exact costume museum and action. I have both of them. Found some people's pics on the net. I want some other X-Men that dont have both museum and action. Seems that is the case with the rest of the market if the orders werent high enough to warrant producing.

So to kick off this line we have a poor QC Physlocke, a non matching based Yellow Wolverine, followed by withdrawing the Brown Wolverine and Archangel, and now saying there is "lack of demand" hence no Rogue???

I for one will never pay higher price...simply based on all the BS.

For a fan to committ to a line, I'd expect the company to committ to it first.

whoa?!!! What?!!! When was this mentioned? No Archangel? How am I gonna complete my X-Force team? What about Colossus? How is he doing in the market?

I need that Sabertooth! Man! You guys should have sold the one on display at comic con to me

Well, I stand corrected. I was not aware of those other two Rogue statues, at least not the very last one. Regardless, I still think Koto's would be a welcome addition. Just comparing all four, it easily would have been the best representation. I have Bowen's, and it's not one of my favorites. I was really looking forward to Koto's. Oh well.

Well, if Rogue and Sabretooth aren't going to be released, selling any prototypes that are available, would be a fantastic way to raise money for Japan aid.

Just a thought.

I wonder if the new Tim Miller Rogue that Bowen have on the way will be a different costume? I'm thinking it may be closer to her current look....

I wouldn't be surprised if they released a couple of versions, as has been the norm lately. I would take a museum Jim Lee, but I would looove an 80's Silvestri version!
