what happened to the 12" kiss figures

[MEGOMAN]

It sounds to me like the 12" were over sold they are all sold out. So some people who ordered them will not get them. I'm sure that they will make more of Series 1 and we will get Series 2.

Nice to hear they are selling well -- sounds like they have a hit! I'm looking forward to the next wave.

^^ that is how I read it.
I think ctvt underestimated the demand for the 12s on series one with the retro suits and they are just sold out now.
The last I spoke with them about orders, they were on track for the next wave.

Totally false. I emailed, they answered quickly and it's an unfounded rumor.

Thanks to rche, I got a full set of the 12" figures!

that'd make two of us


Cancelled? They have the other 12" lines still listed on their site; and the Paul prototype was posted last week.

If the 12" line(s) have truly been cancelled, well that stinks...
With the amount the license probably cost ($100,000?), cancelling a line that sold out so quick just doesn't compute.

perhaps it was an order that got cancelled because they ran out of stock?

One of the members here is listed as a reseller; maybe he has some of the 12" in stock.
Toymans collectables up in WI.

KISSmuseum (ironic) has a pretty good deal on purchasing the big guys and the 8" ones in a bundle.

I am all sold out of the 12" figs. Sorry....

just got the email that thay have been cancelled

Can you copy and paste the email in this thread so we can read it???

[Delusional B]

It looks like EE only sold Gene and Paul and both are pre-sold out. I'm guessing they couldn't fulfill all of their preorders and had to cancel some orders.

BBTS already has their stock and has shipped preorders.

12" KISS is definitely not cancelled. I had a case of them sit briefly in my office before flying away to their new collection homes.

I am thinking ctvt underestimated the response to the big guys and did not order all that many of them. I know they are sold out from ctvt as I was inquiring about more stock the other day. I think you told me you ordered from EE, Brent? Not sure if EE ever got full case assortments of these, or if they ordered cases of Gene and Paul only.
