Kyle "coming soon"

[samurainoir]

It doesn't really matter much at this late stage if the game, but it's a real shame that the loudest advocates for Retros over on the Matty boards come off as entitled and rude.

Young Justice Retro Action Figures... - Topic

There just wasn't a large enough customer base to keep Retro Action going. If we can't sell enough Batman, Superman and Green Lantern in this style, it is unlikely we can sell more of a less well known (by the general public) character from Young Justice. While the RA fans are very loud online, in the end their are just not enough of them to support the line at this time.

Retro Action Robin.... - Topic

While it is great that 500 fans have signed a petition, that is just not a high enough number (not even in the ball park really) to keep a line going. This is a perfect example of a small handful of fans being very loud and supportive online. For a line to continue we need to hit a min number of units and 500 is not even close to this number. At min we are talking multiple thousands of units for any one item. 500 people is just not enough to get an item going.

Is Retro Kyle on Sale July 15th? - Topic

We wanted to make some last minute adjustments to him to ensure he had a ring on his hand. So he will be pushed out a month or so. If you want to see more Retro figs we seriously suggest you support this figure.

So I don't see them bending over backward to offer up Retro-Action through subscription for a few hundred Mego fans....

Yeah, you're probably right Anthony.

Thing is, my friend collects Heman and Mattel has kept that going through Matty collector for years now...so anything is possible.

Not sure I see it happening that way...for example the DCUC line has been VERY popular for Mattel, and yet they're ended it at retail and moving it to subscription only through Matty. But the thing is they've extended the deadline for the subscription once already and they were nowhere near the number they needed to see this thing continue.

I never understood Mattel. For years they lamented the fact they could never get their foot back in the door with boys toys.2002 came along, they got back in with the return of MOTU,then jumped back out. Their DC stuff lasted a little bit longer but for the most part,they're back out again. How much longer will it be before they do the same thing with the rest of their lines?

THey are doing it now with the other DC lines, JLU is dead, they are working on killing DCUC right now.

I'm still holding out hope that Kyle gets released soon so I can snag one.

[tllgn]

ill get this figure,only to complete the set.

I think it will be over with Kyle man but lets hope it's not (whishful thinking) it's a shame cause there are endless possibilites with this line and kudos to the Doc and all envolved,they have worked there butt off to get all this to market.Lets hope there is more to come not just from the Mattel line.

Just my 2 pence in English money.

I agree

I wish there was a general sense of support for RA and the success of this line! QWho cares if it gets pushed back another week? I don't understand the attitude agains purchasing a new mego because it is a month or two late. It is a new MEGO! Cool! Doc gets my unwavering support!

I for one want a Kyle, I think he was a bold choice and worthy of a Mego figure. I continue to support the line, I am hoping for more Mego's. The negativity is getting too loud. My hope is that Matty will continue the line, maybe I am a wishful thinker but I refuse to call it over just yet.

I was ready to buy a Kyle and then they pulled him back, now I am kinda over Kyle. If I get one cool if not then I'm fine with it either way now.
