I'm really sad to hear that. Especially since my three children as excited for them as I was. My four year old girl STILL takes her Bigfoot everywhere.

Apparently not that well. I haven't received any new purchase orders from the retailers that have the figures listed for pre-order and that's definitely not a good sign. As I've said before, I'm giving this until the end of July before officially canceling the line but at this point I think the writing is on the wall.

Craig I said it before and I'll say it again. This really breaks my heart. Here is someone willing to put it all out there for the fans and collectors and this happens. There is so much shoddy items out there that get better support and this great line is dying. If you end up canceling this line then I will no longer collect. Single dad on disability with two children one who is a special needs child I have to be careful with my money, but I was willing to spend it on Craigs Six Million Dollar Man figures. One because I love the show. Two because these are awesome figures and three this was my only hope of ever getting a Death Probe. I know that some people will think I am over reacting but why give my support to companies that mostly do not really care about our input. If this does happen I will still watch these forums to see whats going on out there but the only thing that would get me back into the game is if Craig ever got classic Battlestar. So here's to things turning around before the end of July. Thanks again Craig for making two of the best action figures to come down the pike in a long while.
I'm as shocked and disappointed as anyone about how poorly this second wave has been received. The first wave did great, and the figures were almost double the price of the wave 2 figures. I've had people complaining that the figures in the second wave were too boring. Oscar Goldman and Rudy Wells are two of the main characters, the 7 Million Dollar Man and Mr X. were both fan favorites. I guess I'm in the minority but I don't think those are boring characters.
Regardless of why this has happened, it's not going to kill my enthusiasm for making action figures. I've got more cool projects in the works, some of which I'm doing on my own and some I'm doing with Cast-A-Way Toys.

As much as I want all of these, and I pre-ordered three sets, I can sort of understand why people think they are boring. I have never had the desire for a Rudy Wells figure, and though Oscar is awesome, I never owned the vintage figure as a kid, or an adult , because yeah, he's just kinda boring. I think the wave would have been a bit more well received if Mr. X's removable face was shown, or at least mentioned in the assortment descriptions, because nobody wants a Mr. X that just looks like a human. 7 Million Dollar Man is a cool character, but throw him in with three other plain guys, and well, you know.
I think if this wave had been..
Steve Austin (khakis or astronaut)
Oscar
Mr. X
Fembot
..it would have been much more well received.
Then a third series with
Steve Austin (khakis or astronaut)
7 Million $ Man
Rudy Wells
Bionic Bigfoot (variant, battle damaged or something)
But I love these figures, and would buy any and all you make.Last edited by Remco Monster; Jun 22, '14, 6:52 PM.Comment

In my opinion, no matter how great these second series figures are (and they are great), I think you need to have at least one Steve Austin figure per wave to make this line work. I mean, he was the main protagonist of the show. I have several from the first wave and would love other versions of Steve in different outfits. This is by no means meant as a knock against Craig, just my unqualified opinion.Comment

Wow, seriously sorry for U, its almost like U have a toy curse. I wasnt collecting these because of thier size, but still didnt stop me from appreciating the card art, and the style of the figure. U go out and release some amazing product, and it cant get passed the second round. Still kinda gutted about the "buck rogers" line, and definately narked off that we didnt get those "logans run" figures.Comment

Honestly though I'm not worried about it and I still stand by my character selection. I seriously doubt that adding another Steve Austin to the mix would have made that big of a difference, if any. People would have just wanted that one figure and let the rest be peg warmers, which still would have resulted in the line being canceled.Comment

Thanks for getting at least three very well done figures in this line out there, Craig. Best wishes on the upcoming Action Man stuff.Comment
