This is disappointing, but hardly surprising: Spectre Toys has cancelled the new line of DARK SHADOWS toys scheduled to be released in May.
If you recall, these toys were supposed to be released last year, but were delayed (presumably because of the perceived failure of the TIM BURTON film, but who knows.) I was a little dubious that these toys would actually be produced. Even though Entertainment Earth continued to list them for a May 2013 release, Spectre Toys never re-launched its company website. It was promising that Entertainment Earth continued to take orders for the toys, I began to have serious doubts when they were not listed in its most recent catalog. I'm not sure who's to blame for stringing us along for the last year, but I suspect a lot of folks are going to be very unhappy at this turn of events. With luck, maybe a company that has it's act together will someday get the license to produce these figures.
can you get our Dollhouse and miniaturists to make some of them?
ReplyDeleteI had Barnabas and Willy ordered and got the world that Willy is permanently cancelled (isn't that just typical of Willy.) Haven't gotten the cancellation for Barnabas, yet, but without Willy, it just won't be the same....
ReplyDeleteNo.... We really wanted a "Quentin" ... ( Really want the 12 inch figure of him)...
ReplyDeleteDisappointing.
ReplyDeleteI ordered Quentin & Barnabas -- & Angelique (She's been shipped).
Already have my favorite the WEREWOLF! VERY WELL DONE! LOVE HIM!
(P.S. From the photos I am less impressed with Angelique & Josette. Why aren't they prettier?)
We were going to do our "A-Z" post for "Q" ...as "Quentin Collins".... would have had to go into Way Too much background to begin to present this wonderfully "evil" warlock to my viewers...Still going to do a small post today ... just to have "Shadows of the Night"...
ReplyDeleteGot my Angelique figure yesterday and she looks way better than the photo. Still the face doesn't look much like her, but the hair is great!
ReplyDeleteI was always disappointed that the Josette figure wasn't a Maggie Evans figure since she was the more prominent character throughout the shows run, but not nearly as disappointed as I am that the line has been cancelled. I was looking forward to eventually having the entire family in my display case.
