TZ Maya the Cat Girl and Santa are cancelled?

[Comix]

I was over on EE checking on the new stuff from SDCC when I noticed this.

I noticed neither of them were present at the BBP booth during the con, but I didn't think much of it at the time. What's the deal with these two? I know that the Santa has been on display numerous times since the line was originally announced, but until recently never got a release window. Was it lack of interest or something else? I mean, they weren't my most anticipated releases but I still had them on pre-order and was still looking forward to them.

Well that just sucks...

agreed. I was really looking forward to the Santa. Love Art Carney and that episode.

Wha?? Nooooo...Granted Maya was about the least interesting of any of BBP's TZ releases, but I was really looking forward to that Santa. I hope this isn't indicative of the status of further TZ 8" figures.

Yeah, it's a bit disconcerting. But I thought the figures were doing alright.

I mean, the first three waves are still readily available, but those had larger production sizes than waves 4 and 5 which were limited to 3,000 pieces each. And 4 and 5 are both completely sold out on EE.

It seemed like the series was served better by the smaller production sizes, but I guess I could be wrong.

This is not an issue about sales. It's a legal one about likeness rights. Bottom line is that we just can't make certain characters right now.

Hope you are able to work the likenesses out---really looking forward to these!

While that's certainly disappointing, I am glad that it's not a sales issue.


I do hope that the likeness rights can be worked out eventually.

R...Rod? Finally??...Little Anthony Freemont too?...A DELUXE SDCC 5 CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN EXIT SET?!?!?

I feel like Santa AND Christmas was just canceled. Thanks for the info, JLabs - you guys had some AMAZING stuff in the pipeline. I'll be waiting for it if the likeness issues ever resolve!

This is certainly sad to hear.

We were VERY excited about this line too! Never say never - anything could happen -just not right now.

Oh, man, that is a giant punch in to the gut. I would have loved every last one of those. This is disappointing, but I'll still be excited about whatever you guys can/do make in the future. I love this line and what you've done with it so i'll support it until the end.
