DST Deadpool 2 canceled

Lame!!

I don't want any FTC Treks unless they reuse vintage head sculpts and hire a new sculptor.

Trek is an interesting match. It is a line that is made for variants (same costume, different head... same head, different costume...) and for whatever reason, EMCE seemed reluctant to do them. But FTC *loves* variants.

And yet, somehow some of the crappiness lingers...

Zing!!!

... FTC isn't perfect, but man they sell the CRAP out of those DC figures.

That's the license that Hasbro offers. It has nothing to do with Marvel or DST. I've heard rumors that another company went for the license with confidence they could alter the deal due to previous clout and couldn't. They got offered the 80$ collector figure license again, same as DST.

Furthermore, the money generated by remego figures is chump change to Hasbro and Marvel. It's obvious to me they couldn't care less about what it brings in.

FTC would be offered the same license parameters from Hasbro.

I highly doubt it. Why would they want to repeat what was obviously a failure? I realize FTC isn't perfect, but man they sell the CRAP out of those DC figures. Marvel would be stupid not to follow that example.

We can only wish upon a star that after Disney and Marvel saw $80 sets did not work and ended them that they offer FTC something new this time with FTC success with DC Megos.

I sure hope FTC gets the Marvel and Trek license. There are so many characters to be made. Too bad DST did not embrace this format. They are highly collectable, but they overpriced the 8 inch scale and doomed it to fail with the 80.00 price point. I am eternally optimistic, please FTC or someone - pick up the 8 inch line of Marvel and Trek.

I suggested Mego Star Trek to FTC if DST is done with it. All Trek TV shows and movies. Does McFarlane Star Trek license prevent this?

That's pretty sad but we saw this coming with number of sets dropping off to none.
If Figures Toys doesn't get the liscence like they did when Mattel discontinued the
DC retros, than Marvel remegos are no more . I hope Figures gets Star Trek remegos too
for same reason

Me too...I can't even imagine how cool FTC Trek would be...I'm sure they would do tons of aliens, probably the environmental space suits, dress uniforms, you name it.
