So Much For Filmation Figures!

[Draego-Man]

TG's recent announcement that 2014 will probably be the last year means that we will never get the following figures:

Octavia
Sea Hawk
Batros
Negator
Vultak
Evilseed
Huntara
Admiral Scurvy
General Sundar
Hunga the Harpee
Madame Razz
Icer
Jawbreaker
Darkdream
Masque
Lizard Man
Melaktha
King Helios
Light Hope
Colonel Blast
General Tataran
Blackbeard
Scorpia
Dylamug
Plundor
Prince Zed
Red Knight
Strongarm

and

Crackers!!

Way to blow the Filmation license.

[mekaneckpain]

yeah... that sucks.

[jdscissorhands]

What sucks is that they made Vykron, Sir Laser Lot and the guys from the vehicles box art before Scorpia, Glimmer, Hydron or Lizard Man!

What a pity! Really!!!

[mekaneckpain]

It's also a pity that 2012, the 30th anniversary, which could have been so much better, was tarnished by lame-ass virtual CAC winning figures and The Fighting Fart Men.

[bskcase]

This is what you guys wanted. You guys kept complaining about character selection and prices. You guys should be celebrating your victory now.

[Draego-Man]

The Fighting Fart Men.

I guess I like farts.

[Bulkhide]

I think we'll still get Scorpia, Shokoti, Strongarm, Lizard Man, and Madame Razz. I don't know about the other though.

[nuno]

I sure hope Shokoti and Strongarm are still coming. I'd also love to get Batros and then I could be almost happy for the Filmation representation in this line.

[He-Dad]

Im holding out hope we'll still get most of them someday!

Hello??? 2013 has filmation in it. We will get those this year if the sub goes through and next year Scott will finish the vintage, POP & NA

this year we get lots of filmation so stop with the pitty party. I mean really we only know January through March so far.

[fball13z]

this to me is the worst part, we get filmation rights and then the line dies

[evenflow]

If we somehow get Scorpia, Imp, and Madame Razz & Broom, i'll be happy enough.

[Grayskull's Heir]

this to me is the worst part, we get filmation rights and then the line dies

I agree. This is horrible.

[Man-Man]

Chill, guys. They won't get to that entire list, no doubt, but I'm sure we'll see some heavy hitters from Filmation in 2013. Personally, I hope next year isn't a Filmation glut to compensate for 2014 being all vintage. This news has me a little hesitant so subscribe for 2013, which I was previously considering doing this weekend. I'm in the camp that really couldn't care less about Filmation. Though I do dig Fang-Man.

[Hellvertz]

Well, in that case I only care from that list for: StrongArm, Batros, Plundor & Shokoti.

[Megalodon]

When did it change from 2015-2016??? Was that not the "target" date(s)??

I don't think 2014 wouldn't still have some Filmation as that is still 80s, features many highly demanded characters, and Scorpia at least satisfies far too many lists (she's Pop, Horde, and Filmation!) to not have a slot if she's not done this year. I think some of the harder to make Filmation characters like Madame Razz could be a long shot now, but I will turn the seas red with blood to get Shokoti too.

[phantom1592]

interestingly enough... I'm ok with this. While better than MOST of the concept/new figures we've been getting... I really don't want many of those at ALL!!!

Scorpia
Octavia
Madame Razz
Sea hawk...

Were HIGH on my 'want list'

The other 24? You just explained how I saved $648 + shipping?!?!

I liked the IDEA of Filmation.. and a few characters that SHOULD have been figures in the 90's... (filmation randor, Madam Razz, etc...) But I NEVER wanted every one shot villain who ever showed up

I'll still be annoyed if we get the Perfumas and NA figures before Madam razz though

[TUC138]

So as Filmation Variants !!!

[Draego-Man]

Good thing they got Filmation King Randor in.

Waste of a figure IMO.

[Mern-Ra]

I just hope we get Molcrom!!!

And yeah, the fact that this news about the line POTENTIALLY ending soon comes just as Filmation was really gonna become part of the line is the worst part for me.

[Dark Sorceress]

Good thing they got Filmation King Randor in.

Waste of a figure IMO.

a BIG waste of a figure.

[Rodster6]

The only filmation figure i am desperate for is Batros, wanted him ever since I was a kid but can't see it happening now

It all depends on who is in the 2013 line-up when he created the line-up back in 2012. Toyguru can't change the figures now. If it's a lame choice, then we are stuck with it.
