I really wanted Danni Mint to be made. Loved the way that statue looked.

Someone should inquire this license and finish it off.

Maybe Gentle Giant would could do what XM Studios do, and offer a made to order option, if only to complete the line.

Should be pretty clear by now the line is dead. GG owns the licensing as it’s an in house property but if they can’t make money on it why would another company bother buying it?

None of that matters if collectors aren’t buying them and let’s face it, they’re not.

GG failed to capitalize when interest was at it’s peak with a lack of focus and endless delays. Prices on existing pieces were slashed over the past few years and the remaining inventory still failed to sell out. If pre-orders on the new wave of solicited pieces was prevalent you can bet they’d be producing them. The writing has been on the wall for a long time.

I always wondered what happened to this line? I saw a few of them at a LCS. They looked pretty cool!

The thing that really killed this line was the fact that they cribbed the sucker punch ladies concept and doubled the price!! The character designs lacked cohesivity for any sort of world building, except for the fact they were all on acrylic circle bases

I think there was an adequate want for Fireball, but for some dumb reason, GG turned off orders on their site. And by the time they noticed interest was gone. Hopefully DS knows how to run the company better. Not sure it really matters anymore. I refuse to buy anything from them in the future.
