DST Deadpool 2 canceled

[PNGwynne]

Well, it's all armchair-quarterbacking at this point. I supported the line as best I could in the same way I patronize FTC: primarily as custom fodder.

^Good luck with that.

They should have had 2-3 releases a year, at least partially jibing with MCU films as an assistive cross-sell. We could have had Iron Man, Ant-Man. Dr. Strange, Falcon, Black Panther, maybe Vision or Hawkeye.

That's the million dolla question. I never expected a Hulk, FF or female character as I tended to believe it was an ROI deal; all-new tooling outstrips the return possible. But, how could Iron Man cost more than Thor? Strange more than Wolverine? Panther more than Deadpool?

I think we're at the kickstart point. Maybe we could get Doc and another bigger group - 4H, Super7 - to try a joint venture that Hasbro can't strangle to death.

^See, that's what's most disappointing to me with this line. They should have had 2-3 releases a year, at least partially jibing with MCU films as an assistive cross-sell. We could have had Iron Man, Ant-Man. Dr. Strange, Falcon, Black Panther, maybe Vision or Hawkeye.

That, and no villains at all, saddens me.

They should have done Black Panther to go with movie popularity

If the next figure is cancelled, do we think they would make one after the cancelled one? I doubt it.

[drogge]

Is line finished? I hope not. We need Dr Strange, Luke Cage, Ms Marvel, She-Hulk, and so much more.

I just do not get the other two outfits. If they offered the classic X-men outfit & the Deadpool/Captain America outfit many it would have had a better chance.

Not so. All it really means is retailers got stuck with a non-selling product instead of the manufacturer. The result of that is always the same. Retailers don't reorder said product and new product gets canceled.

(Talking about Deadpool, not your book)

Not at all, it's sold out at the manufacturer and that is the benchmark.

The notion that all the retailers "got stuck with" the product is specious because we both don't know what the actual retail sell through is. Is it half? two thirds? 100% at retail is incredibly rare.

The fact is, most niche collectible items operate on 1-2 turns per annum, at best, at specialty retail. So things sell out all the time but sure, they can be found at retail, that includes anything by FTC that they;re out of.

Also, yeah, maybe it was a matter of "too soon" for another Deadpool, that's entirely possible. Maybe retailers couldn't see the difference or the value in the set. The other sets were too slow to justify another, i mean these things would get graded on line performance, Also, DST may be pouring resources into something with higher margins that sells to a broader market.

When something sells out of the manufacturers warehouse, it sold out. I sold out of my #1 book recently.

Consumers can still probably find a copy at Wal-Mart or Indigo or 500 other retailers in the meantime but I, the manufacturer, ain't got no mo.

That's sold out, that's success.

In today's Ask DST in reply to email I sent on December 7 which was 11 days before this thread started asking if Retro Marvel sets are ending in 2018 DSTChuck replied "I think for sure the 80.00 price point is difficult. However, that is all that is available to us. Honestly I do not know if there will be any sets in 2018, we'll have to see."

I called BBTS this morning and was told DST told BBTS that 2nd Deadpool set is discontinued no one will carry it.

I hope there is good news for Mego Marvel in 2018 which is 45th anniversary of 1973 1st Marvel Megos Captain America and Spider-Man. Maybe we can get a Reb Brown Cap and Nicholas Hammond Spidey, too! lol

BBTS has Pirate Deadpool set pre orders sold out, not cancelled( as of today) and Amok time is still taking them. BBTS has limits to some pre orders but it looks like Pirate Deadpool
is still coming in 2018

Wouldn't count on it. BBTS is the one that sent out the notices that this set was cancelled. They also list DST's TMNT Classic Minimates as "sold out" but they were cancelled. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...nDetails/52249

Usually when DST cancels something, it takes a couple months for all the retailers to get notice. EE is usually one of the last.

[LonnieFisher]

I hope it gets released! And a whole lot of other sets...

I don't think this set has been canceled, it's still on preorder at many other sites, like Amazon and Entertainment Earth. It shows sold out at Big Bad Toystore.
