      BBTS has pre orders on Pirate Deadpool for March 2018. At this rate they will probably
      put out another figure by 2019 or 2020.

        The facts are the facts...FTC is KILLING Diamond on the Retro figures market. EMCE has produced only seven sets since 2012. SEVEN. FTC has produced over 110 NEW figures in that same time period. The restrictive nature of the EMCE license doomed it from the start. You will NEVER see the Hulk. Or the FF. Or dozens of other major Marvel characters, which is a shame.

        Does somebody at Marvel NOT like making money?

        I mean for crying out loud...FTC has produced a RIDICULOUS amount of new characters...

        Two Face
        Scarecrow
        Harley Quinn
        Commissioner Gordon
        Ra's Al Ghul
        Poison Ivy
        Nightwing
        Raven
        Starfire
        Cyborg
        Perry White
        Jimmy Olsen
        Ma Kent
        Pa Kent
        Bizarro
        Lex Luthor
        Brainiac
        Lois Lane
        Captain Marvel Jr.
        Mary Marvel
        Sivana
        Green Lantern
        Martian Manhunter
        Plastic Man
        Dr. Fate
        Red Tornado
        Firestorm
        Solomon Grundy
        Flash
        Reverse Flash
        Captain Boomerang
        Barry Allen
        Purple Dress Catwoman
        First Appearance Batman
        First Appearance Robin

        Not to mention the JLA series...TWENTY SuperFriends...FIFTY Batman '66, and the list goes on and on.

          I need to put you on ignore because I can't handle what you said J/k

          But,yeah what you said is Sad but true.So instead, we get pirates of the carribbean Deadpool which will "maybe" actually sell after the heavy discount, while we wait for Iron Man,Dr Strange,Dr Doom,Falcon,Green Gobin by 2030 etc (oh wait! by then, nobody is even going to care about 8" dollies )

            Pirate Deadpool reminds me of the Diamond Star Trek 2 pack of Generic red shirt and reverse Charon( a cheap redo in place of new figures) . Star Trek collectors wanted new figures and now there are none. When Diamond comes on here they tells us that we get
            what we get, and Ironman is too costly to do, so I would expect a second Wolverine or Spiderman by 2019, or a post about how nobody want's to produce these while FTC and Mezco make tons of stuff.

              And yet Captain Action had no problem making a Classic suit with plastic Armor for 27.99 I don't buy their excuse.

              It probably dips into their "high" profits some, so Iron Man is not worth making to them. So instead,let's make what is cheaper and easier to do. Next up Fishing Spiderman complete with hat and fishing rod (like Toybiz)

                You seem to really want a Fishing Spider-Man. I don't.

                Unless he has hip waders....

                  What other two outfits would come with Fishing Spidey?

                    How about a yacht outfit with a captains hat, white polo shirt and shorts, tall socks and deck shoes?

                    Not quite fishing, but still nautical.

                      Why not! It's what everybody wants like Pirate"Gaaarrr" Deapool! It would sell too and outsell any other characters like Dr Doom,Dr Strange and Iron Man

                        For me...Moon Knight is a no-brainer for a 3 pack. He's never been made in Mego form that I amd aware of, and lets face it.....even the DTC set won't hold all the personalities.
                        Moonie, Marc Spector and Jake Lockly...perfect.

                          Moon Knight would be awesome! Of course, so would Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, and Hobgoblin. Or How about Baron Zemo? Heinrich, Helmut, and disfigured head? But Pirate Deadpool is higher priority. ?????

                            The two other outfits in the upcoming Deadpool set are really awesome, so the set will sell rather well.

                              Good point. And BBP had lots of new tooling in their lines (Who, Ventures, etc.) and kept up with new waves and reasonable pricing.
