    i suppose...the trick is to get it as cold as possible as quickly as possible,because once it gets cold the plastic becomes hard and holds the new shape you have it bent into,then you can just let it go and leave it in the freezer by itself for awhile....

      this...or just make it more or less an overall "Movie" line...

      Buck in White Uniform (got)
      Wilma in white uniform (S2)
      Tiger Man (got)
      Twiki (S2)
      Killer Kane (S1)
      Draconian Guard (S1)
      Dr. Huer in Dress Uniform (S2?)
      Princess Aradala in Gold outfit from the movie (S2)

      ...and making 2 of the more memorable and fan requested figures from the Series, Vorlon and Hawk...this would be the most satisfying way,i think,of rounding out the line...especially since Kane is the Silva version,just keep the theme of the main characters in movie-accurate costumes...

        also,i'm not trying to jump the gun as it were,or put words in your mouth,but shall i asssume we're looking at a scenerio like this:

        All of Series 1 will be produced

        if sales meet or are above expectations,then Series 2 will be produced

        if sales are less than expectations,then you will try to produce a limited Series 2 set of Twiki and Wilma ,with Ardala,Vorlon,and the 5th figure being cancelled

            Is the line not doing what you expected?
            Sales are still good. Things have slowed down a little but I'm far from having my finger on the panic button.

            Yes, that's pretty much it.

              Man,no Vorvon

              I really hope everyone buys these...the full set of series 2 gots to make it to the table...Ardala and Vorvon are important figures in this line in my opinion because of the uniqueness and waiting 30 years to get a vorvon figure lol

                Some may laugh...but I'd rather have the space vampire than Twiki
                I figured you'd release Wilma/Vorvon, and then Twiki/Ardala/Huer in that kind of order...well,I can give you that I'll buy 2 of each to support the line to get all the characters made in both series
                Bite your tounge sir I'm all over this entire line once Twiki is available

                  Hopefully all of Series 2 will make it out. I was looking forward to the Vorvon the most.

                      you know,i just can't stop playing around with them,LOL! i told myself after looking at them and taking pics,i would put them back in the boxes until the rest of the series came out,then find a place to display them....but for the 3rd day in a row,as i sit here typing,i find myself taking the Buck figure out of the box and posing him in all different ways...

                          IT WORKED!!!



                          trying to be cautiously optimistic,but as of right now,Tiger Man is standing on his own!



                          we'll see where he is in an hour or so,when the plastic reached room temperature...

                            Congrats your Tiger Boy is now a Tiger Man who can stand on his own two feet.

                            Great line!
                            Looking forward to Kane and The Drac Guard!
