ma dello scudo di Snake Face non dice nulla nessuno? personalmente son contento sfornino gli snake men... spero anche in Tung-Lashor, più somigliante al toy vintage che alla controparte animata

Scott, is it too soon to start discussing what happens worst case if MOTUC doesn`t survive as a sub format past 2012? Meaning, do we see any of the 2013 lineup in any form (i.e., as convention exclusives, quarterly figures offered as pre-sales, etc.)?

If the sub doesn`t meet minimum quota (and as a humble suggestion) I can see the line continue to survive and perhaps even thrive on a two to three pack quarterly release basis in a similar format to how you`re handling the Miss Martian/Superman two-pack. Offer a pre-sale in advance of producing the toy and only produce it if the minimum orders are met. I understand that this will kill the spontaneity and fun of seeing months worth of product ahead of time like we do at Mattypalooza and TF every year, but come heck or high water this line should continue even if the subs become an inviable business model.

Here is what we are looking at if we don`t hit the min sub number:

If the sub does not hit the min, we will review how far along figures are (likley one or two of the figs shown at SDCC are tool`d) and we will release those two figures bi annually. The rest will be canceled. If anyone else is far enough along we might make that fig the SDCC figure like we did with Dana.

Very similar to what happeend with GB in 2012. If we don`t hit the min number of subs the line goes away.

Not a scare tactic, just the truth. The subs are everything for a high end low run collector line with no current entertainment (well, no movie or TV, we have awesome MOTU comics from DC now)!

If we don`t get the minimum, postpone the new characters and make the old ones?

If MOTUC doesn`t achieve the minimum, could you postpone new characters like King He-Man and concepts like The Fighting Foe Men for already established, actual MOTU characters such as Ram Man, Netossa and Jitsu? Ordinarily, these new characters would be cool, but if MOTUC is in such dire straits, then maybe now is not the time to indulge into these new characters when we haven`t barely touched the New Adventures cast.

It is too late to make any changes to 2013.

BUT: what I am doing is reworking 2014. If we can get enough subs to get 2013 done, I will make sure that the 2014 line is reworked to include all remaining vintage figs and all the major NA and POP figures (we might not get to Kayo if you will...).

First step is ensureing 2013 works. Then I will rework 2014 so that if that winds up being the last year, at least we will go out with a bang. It doesn`t mean we couldn`t still get to a 2015 (if support is there) but I am no longer going to follow the 2016 roadmap. I`ve always said what will kill the line is when the figures cost more to produce then fans are willing to pay.If the writing is on the wall, I will do all I can to ensure 2014 finishing things off.
