The figures don't show on the PreOrder page any more, fwiw.

So, in light of that - I hope the Horsemen do a proper post-mortem on this failure, and don't blame it on the scale or lack of interest.
In my opinion, they blew it by over-reaching on an under-advertised line with next to zero pre-sale hype or media. Who is Zergot? Dr. Waybar? Why are there multiple face-changing aliens, but a single-faced red alien with the same body? Who are the Dark and Light Guardians? Unlike Eagle Force and their pending lines, we have no character to go with the characters. No explanation on why Arkus is absent. Who Adam Power is or why he shares armor with Sh'vix (Who?!) The Horsemen gave up on this line long ago, and this half-hearted "relaunch" is, to my mind, their excuse to up the scale to 6-inch and really push it with all of the above. They have the mythos, but they really want to be int he 6-inch scale, I feel. Too bad if so. Was looking forward to integrating with the 4-inch lines that already have my very real interest. |

I hate to disagree with you, but now that this re-launch failed, I doubt seriously there will be any effort for a 6" replacement line. To those who deliberately helped this crash and burn for that purpose, I say thankya.

Well we tried, and we want to thank everyone who pre-ordered, supported, and helped to spread the word for the Power Lords pre-order, but unfortunately, we just weren't able to reach the milestone we needed to reach in order to be able to move forward with production. We were able to get about 2/3 of the way to where we needed to be, but even with support from outside resources, that still wasn't quite enough to do the trick.
So, as much as we hate to say it, the Power Lords pre-orders through Store Horsemen are all being cancelled right now, the authorizations for the credit cards that were used are being cancelled, and those of you who placed pre-orders should be getting some sort of notice about that very soon. We're sincerely sorry that we couldn't make this happen. Power Lords has been a passion of ours since childhood, but the numbers just aren't there at the moment. We were able to gain some data from this experiment that will help us in some of our future sales and pre-orders, so it's not completely a wash on our end. Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who tried hard to make this happen, but it just wasn't a possibility this time around. For now at least, Adam Power and the rest of the Power Lords are going to leave our solar system and go off on some top secret missions beyond the stars. Wish them luck! -FOUR HORSEMEN- For all intents and purposes, POWER LORDS is dead.

Well, that's a shame. Power Lords was kind of before my time, so I don't have much personal investment in the brand, but they really kind of got me with the army builders, and I was starting to root for this a little bit. Hopefully 4H will take the opportunity to learn from this experience and adjust their tactics in the future, even if it just means picking their passion projects more carefully. Hopefully this is just a setback and not the end of the line altogether, but I'm not going to get my hopes up too much.
