That's great news but as was mentioned, I don't expect to see them any time soon. |

I agree, too many pots as it were.

I wonder if they are working with multiple factories. That certainly might speed things along but would introduce plenty of other potential complications I would imagine.

I’m happy for the people who want these other form factors. Really though I wish they’d be bringing more Ultras Legends to the table. I haven’t seen an updated list of their signings, but you’d think it’s enough for 2 if not 3 series per year.

I fully realize they can't sugsidt fully on one line of people from the past, but still I was excited to finally see some of these people in figure form. |

I firmly believe that the success of the first wave, caused Cardona/Myers to get the TNA agreement in place, and that put a wrench in their plans. My guess is originally when they got going they were going to do maybe 3 waves of Ultra Legends and 2 waves of Remcos a year. When TNA got involved, that threw their plans off, which is why we had a longer gap of nothing as far as news and such. Ideally we get 2 waves of Legends, 2 waves of TNA, and 2 waves of Remco a year, but personally I wish we would get 3 waves of Legends, 1 wave of TNA, and 1 of Remco. |

I'd be fine with two Legends and 1 or 2 TNA series a year as long as the waves were 4 figures a piece. Love the Ultras we've seen, I just don't want to spend $300+ a wave. TNA had that sweet spot of 4.

So are we in limbo right now? Everything they had announced and shown has been up through preorder, correct? Next would be Remco 2, TNA 2, and Ultras 3, none of which have been talked about at all yet, correct?

Definitely feels like limbo. I think they bit off more than they can chew.

Next would be Remco 2, TNA 2, and Ultras 3, none of which have been talked about at all yet, correct? It’s really unfortunate as a whole. I know last week there was an image posted of an unpainted prototype of MC in a robe. The detailing looked really goods but as always, the soft goods just come out too bulky and oversized to really capture the look. It would almost need to be a silk-like material or even a polyester to make it capable of laying properly (or use some system of wiring). Anyways, that was the latest I have seen/heard which means who knows how much longer until these are ready to ship. There is a chance the Series 1 Remcos could be delivered first at the rate things are going. |

They should have just stuck to the Legends ultras. They had a good thing going there. Potentially branch out later with Remcos. But should've went nowhere near Cardona, Myers and TNA. They've ruined it God dammit.

They've ruined it God dammit. They could have just mixed the two and been better off. Do 3-4 legend and 2-3 modern guys per series. |

I don't know if I would like that, as my luck the bundling they do for the slight discount would each have a modern guy in there. If there are 6 figures, 4 legends, 2 modern, and they do two bundles, then they would most likely put one modern guy in each bundle. I wouldn't like that, personally. I just hope they get things moving in a new flow soon. |

I pulled out. Cancelled my REMCO pre-order.
With all the credible names who are apparently involved with this company, none of them took business 101 because all I'm seeing are red flags. Minimal marketing, next-to-zero communication, quality control issues (S1 Ultras knees first batch), and spreading their wings a bit too wide when they aren't event really established yet. Just too much for me. I hope you guys get a flood of product in from them in the coming months. Their (lack of) movements seem just a little shady to me.

It sucks from the discount and shipping perspective for you the customer but at least they are getting out products that appeal to a wider range of people in a more timely fashion. That should be their primary goal above all else. |

I'll never understand the "they're too slow so I'm just not going to get them" mentality. You don't have them either way, right? 🤷♀️

Interesting, didnt know preorders could be cancelled. |
