Why not of just produced all 5 at once? they all were technically wave 1...
then,released them as a whole wave of 5....
DST are never going to produce or finish this line

I couldn't afford to produce all 5 at once, simple as that.Originally Posted by Teemu
I'm just glad we got the two figures, period. I would have loved a Hawk, too, but what is done is done.
Most important to me, though, was the production of the amazing ZICA body. A game changer, a new standard, whatever you want to call it.

Type Two: The Mego body, not the disease.
Mattel could not do it, EMCE could not do it, Zica did, they got out a Mego like product with no defects or problems (far as I know) Zica produced a Hot Toys Quality item at a resonale price. I wish we could have gotten more figures, but Iguess it is not to be. Thank you for 2 super wonderful figures Zica.
Hey Zica, thanks for answering my questions. I had no idea about the MOQ issue. And I thought that might be your explanation for Tiger Man, it is a great figure, but Hawk would've been nice. I noticed Hawk went unbidded on, will he be offered again?
Invincible Ironing Man
As a fan from the very first episode, I thought Tigerman was a logical choice. He featured in the first story, he was a bad guy (to square off against Buck), and the figure nicely showcased all the details of costume, sculpt and paints.

Thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate it.
I'm waiting to see what DST plans to do with the line before I attempt to list the Hawk figure again.
Too obsessed to turn back
Yeah, I have to say Buck and Tigerman were easily the most popular and logical choices for this license. And from an esthetic perspective, Tigerman was especially a grand slam. Easily one of the most detailed and well designed figures ever made in the eight inch scale. It's hard to argue against the craftsmanship and care that went into making both these figures. This board was ablaze with excitement as we waited for these figures to go into production, so I never got a sense that character selection factored into the results. Unfortunately these lines have to find a life outside the Mego forum. And I imagine it's hard to gauge who will actually buy these lines and who just offers an opinion and moves on. When these lines perish, I don't think the reasons are always as concrete as we would like to think. It's truly a roll of the dice. It always seems to be about timing your product against the mood of the buyer. So hard to do. But from my perspective, this line gave us everything we could have asked. The quality was top notch and I'm glad to have what we got.
It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.
this line and zica should have succeeded! i still dont get it.
