Mars Attacks,Starroid Raiders and ......

zhor starroids.jpgWhatever happened to Mars Attacks Mego Style and Starroid Raiders aka Cosmic Raiders? We keep getting new lines mentioned all the time from the Monkeys to Scooby Doo and then the older stuff just VANISHES into "promised obscurity." I believe BOTH lines were mentioned back in 2014 and then no word was ever mentioned again? What in the world is going on? Im REALLY looking forward to both lines and no one has any info as to what happened

These aren't coming from FTC. They're from the company Heroes in Action. There's no new news about them, but here's some old threads.

I know they aren't coming from FTC however, no one on the forum knows whatever became of these lines and why they never happened...

They are still happening. Factory negotiations are impeding the schedule but I'm in contact with HIA right now.

THat's good news. I have a few of the heads floating around from the original figures I've picked up over the years, but it would be nice to have a good version of the original concept. The advantage here will be in a much better body for the figures, which makes the re-dos more desirable for me than the originals.

An update would be great--I'm still interested in HIA lines, including Presidential Monsters.

I wonder if they are using the same factory for the Scary Godmother figure? The Kickstarter updates for those figures are looking really cool.

I had the Cyclops as a kid...wouldn't mind getting him back.

Sure wish they're be an update on these. I'm always a bit surprised how under the radar the HIA stuff is.

[Starroid Raiders Dagon]

Yeah, I am dying for an update on both these lines. Hopefully there will be some news fro Megomeet?

*sigh* I've been coveting HIA's proposed "Spirit of 76" for what seems like years.

I checked their website and Facebook and it doesn't look promising. People have posted asking about the Monster Presidents but no replies. I wonder how long they have the Mars Attacks license for?

So, in other words NONE of these two amazing lines are happening?! I was REALLY looking forward to these two lines Mars Attacks and Starroid Raiders

I can wait.
Thing is: in the old days, new figures just turned up on the shelves out of the blue. There was no info, no pre-orders. One day they weren't there, and the next day they were.
That was a lot less stressful than playing the waiting game.
These days, I think we sometimes know too much in advance. And the suspense kills us.
Making toys takes time. If the end result is a quality toy, it's all good...
