This is the fourth time and is becoming worrisome. First they were suppose to come out in January; then May; then July; and now September or perhaps the Yuletide season? Really? 
This is beginning to read alot like the problems that doomed the Playing Mantis series. And make no mistake. These are the same folks doing this line. Hence the name "Round 2". Delays are all part of this industry. I think we're all use to that. But when you're talking about a figure that requires costumes to breath variety and you have trouble getting two costume sets out in a year's time, you lose momentum and fall off the customer radar. So what happens is you spend alot of time talking the good talk, but never deliver on the product (like the Red Skull and the Rocketeer). And what is the point of a newly priced Captain Action figure when you don;t have new product to support it? Same company making the same mistakes. Priced too high early and production delays becoming the norm. That's what doomed Playing Mantis. And its now serving to cut the Round 2 series short. I also don't know what to think about the colors on Iron Man. That mask needs to be yellow. And I can't get the company to say whether that concept display is accurate or not with the colors. So who knows? Here we have a Iron Man movie making over $1 billion and this company can't get their product out. What a mess.

Sometimes you need to send folks a wakeup call when you see cracks in the business model. They have some exciting ideas, but their execution for getting that stuff made is really becoming a problem.
