I kind of hope they don’t. It seems like such a huge risk with little reward. It would take forever to get a single figure produced so you are looking at 1-2 figures a year maybe? I just can’t think of how many names are out there who won’t get picked up elsewhere and would actually do enough sales to make it all worth it.

I can’t comment on how worthwhile it is from a sales perspective, but as someone who has Dynamite and is waiting in Sabu I’d love if they kept going. Even 1-2 per year of characters Mattel don’t have would make me happy. Any look from the members of demolition or powers of pain for example would be instant buys from me. |

The line is very much on ice, retros is the way moving forward in the retro world
I won’t go into the details but this Sabu has been a stress enough to get completed financially and logistically that it just does not make sense for it to continue

Oh well. Yeah it’s a shame really, as a wise man once said “the numbers don’t lie” and it’s just not viable to carry on at the moment, especially after the hole the previous left the line in |

I got a shipping notification for my replacement Sabu, but I never contacted them. That's great because I just opened the one I have now and his leg is hanging on by a thread. Pretty cool of them to replace without us asking.

Got mine, not the best figure, but cool to have a non-RA/elite style Sabu in my collection.
