    Michael Myers Cancelled?

    Obviously Michael wasn't shown in the newly released wave 8 lineup, and Monsters In Motion has the figure as cancelled due to lack off interest.https://www.monstersinmotion.com/car...d-p-27670.html Is it just cancelled on that website or as a whole? I can't find any other information of it being cancelled anywhere else. It can still be preordered on other sites and I currently have one going through on Big Bad Toy Store. If it was cancelled by Mego, why would it be for lack of interest? I doubt everyone is flaming at the mouth for married with children figures and turning a blind eye to Michael Myers,

      So just pushed back to the next wave then? Where was there any official statement?

        Given that Andy (CrimsonGhost) is a sculptor for Mego, I consider that sufficiently official for me.

          I'm less anxious about Michael Myers being delayed than I am Gandalf, to be honest. Can't wait for Gandalf to pop up, and we best be seeing some Hobbits and Gimli up in this piece next year.
          "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

            Myers has been pushed and his spot in wave 8 has been filled by Hannibal Lecter. I’m assuming Mego is working out the licensing kinks so Myers can eventually released, but who knows when that might happen or what wave that might be and it’s also possible that it might just simply be dropped completely.

            Gandalf on the other hand...well, the photos of the shelves at Wal-Mart might be a clue...but I don’t actually know.

              I can't see Myers coming out anytime soon. It's textbook market confusion for NECA. Same scale, same section of the store.

                I don’t know if that’s it, both NECA and Mego had Pennywise the Clown out at the same time. Maybe, tho.

                  If the Michael Myers figure is indeed cancelled, we can always make our own customs. Here is a tutorial.

                    I was talking to Ray Castillo about any company who made had overlapped a figure license and I couldn't think of one from the McFarlane/NECA/Mezco wars. But you're right! Pennywise may be the first.

                      Anything new on Michael Myers being released? My preorder with BBTS shows expected arrival as November 2021 (I know, take it with a grain of salt) but I haven't heard anything recently on this release.

                        It was cancelled.
