Title: Any word on the CV figures?
Post by: MidnightSun on June 13, 2008, 02:46:23 PM: NECA said that they were going to (re)release them after they got recalled (I could have swore they said late April/early May), but they still haven't shown up in stores.

So is there any news? ???

They recalled the figures? Why? D:

Apparently they weren't of very high quality, so they recalled them from retailers to fix the errors and whatnot.

Some online retailers sold the ones they had, but the figures never hit stores.

Post by: jimmay17 on June 13, 2008, 06:11:28 PM: I've been keeping a look out myself. I seem to remember them saying they would be out in late May/early June. Not sure where you live, but in my neck of the woods toys usually hit the stores about one to two months later than they're supposed to street release, so I'm expecting to see them mid-July or August.
Of course, given NECA's apparent antipathy towards the line (they've all but said they want nothing more to do with the property) it really wouldn't shock me to see them abandon the figures entirely. Those that have already managed to get their hands on some should be so lucky: Those badly painted and disappointingly sculpted figures could gain some collector value real quick, especially if no other toymaker picks up on the franchise in the future.

I did a thread on that a while ago:

I like them actually. It would be nice to have a Trevor and Leon figure though too.

Yes, that's true. I would also like a Trevor figure, but more than a Leon figure. Ideally, for me, another set(which we are never getting ???) would consist of Trevor, Death, Maria and Joachim.

No... they just said that they probably won't do a series 2. But it all depends on how much the figures sell when they actually do hit shelves.

Tack Leon onto to that set, and I'd be happy :)

I think Trevor would be a great figure to have to be honest.

Touche.

Post by: mistressalucard on June 19, 2008, 06:08:13 PM: A Lament set would be great... I hope it would happen, but I don't know.

It sounds like they may be done. Maybe they will get picked up again sometime.

They are, the characters are so detailed. They'd be perfect to have.
