    Cancelled Oompa Loompa & more?

    Just read on Facebook that the Oompa Loompa, Andorian, and Talosian. Does anyone know if that's true? Will they be re-offered later?

    Thanks!

    A couple folks confirmed getting letters from the distributor for Mego that the wave is delayed until Feb (and the Amazon listings for the figures in the wave are now saying a Feb delivery, so it tracks) and that four figures were cancelled, namely the Trek aliens, the oompa loompa and one of the House of Dragons figures. Not sure if that means cancelled forever here or just from this wave, though I'm thinking the latter as only one of the HoD figures was apparently axed. That makes me think production problems perhaps. If it was lack of interest in the figures from retailers, I'd think both of the HoD figures would have been cut. I'm hoping that's it, anyway, as I know a LOT of fans want that Trek duo.

      I hope the Trek figures are just delayed.

          I pre ordered the Trek figures and heard from Absolutely Retro that they were currently pushed back till early next year, so February makes sense. I don’t know about the Oompa Lompa.

            The national distributor for Mego said that the two Trek figures and the other two figures are cancelled. I guess we'll see...

              We have a Wonka movie getting ready to drop, so axing the Oompa Loompa is an odd decision.
              Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figures

                This is terrible news. I was really looking forward to purchasing all of those.

                      I’ve seen the same supposed cancellations posted in more than a few fb groups.

                            Yes, and the Andorian Ambassador as well, but then again who knows for sure, so keeping fingers crossed.
