I'm gonna guess they stopped making money for them. They put out some nice looking ones for the 30th though.

bottom line. not making enough profit.
I didn't buy any of those 12 inchers at retail. Not my taste. Sideshow did get me with their gorgeous 12 joe line though.

Yeah, you go to any TJ Maxx and you'll see piles of the 30th Anniversary 12" figures. I think that pretty much answers the question.

I think the fan base for the 12in figures are starting to die off as well. Don't mean to be so morbid, but i think that has something to do with it.
