Sigh Summer is over and I have doubts about fall. This happened last year, a big grouping of figures just before Christmas that limits what can be bought all at once.

Right now I have 4 figures that are up for pre-order that I plan on getting at some point.
Kresge Joker and Harley and Super Friends Samurai and Apache Chief.
I'm definitely in the Pick and Choose category of collectors.
I'll get the other 2 diversity characters but I'll hold off on the main characters of the Super Friends until I see how Batman and Wonder Woman turn out. Superman looks OK, but not great in my book. And another Robin would be silly without a good looking Batman to go with him.
Scarecrow I'm holding off on because I expect him to be repackaged if we ever see the Neal Adams Batman line. It is a great looking figure, but it isn't a character I was that excited about.
I'll probably get the 66 Batgirl when it comes out. I may get duplicates of her to give as gifts. I'll hold off on Barbara Gordon until I see what her face looks like once they come out.
The Teen Titans could draw me in but so far we haven't seen anything really on them. The 4 listed to be in Series 1 sound good. I could see getting all 4 of them. But so far they are vapor-ware (as we say in the software business).
Other than that, I'm probably most excited about the Wonder Woman series next year. I have high hopes for this series, but again "vapor ware" until we see prototypes.

So far I don't have any news telling where to move it to? Later this year? Or to next year? Or start a category for Things that didn't make their timeline?

I think someone referred to it as vaporware, maybe that should be the category. I'd have to guess that the Monkees and the HB stuff won't make fall, since there is no preorder or pictures of either line as of yet.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I am still hoping to see something on the Teen Titans one of these Fridays.

I wonder how much of the new product is dependant on sales of current product? Maybe that pushes things back?Comment

None! Period. There are people on this board confusing the announcements with Product being on the shelf later that Month. Announcements are just for up coming items period. There is no exact release dates attached to announcements for a reason. It will remain that way. When Pre orders come up at FTC then the items will soon be available. I will always post when new items are in hand and ready to go.

Yeah, I didn't know whether I should post that reply or not. Thought it might be a consideration from a plain business standpoint.Comment

No, when you/FTC announce a line as being available in the Summer 2015 or Fall 2015 then nothing, that is what is getting people wound up. Just look at jeffbearco's list with FTC's stated ETA's to see what I mean.None! Period. There are people on this board confusing the announcements with Product being on the shelf later that Month. Announcements are just for up coming items period. There is no exact release dates attached to announcements for a reason. It will remain that way.
