I'll now greatly temper expectations.
Well, darn. I appreciate their predicament...Classified is the future, I'll never deny that. I don't think they were totally prepared for what interest returning to O-ring generated. A successful Haslab, Stinger selling out in less than 24 hrs, and Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow "selling out" multiple times (though that's probably more like Pulse rationing out stock) all speak for a successful line. But where is its "home"? If retail has been offered and they are still saying "no" (SPECULATION), do they want a small Pulse line ongoing, or do they try something more?
I'm sure we are getting more. Keep in mind, toys have a 2-3 year design-to-shelf cycle. I think this first year was designed so that if the Haslab failed, they had easy repaint/slight retools to use scheduled factory time (booked more than a year in advance) to either finish out the line, or make time for more 100% tooled figures. I'm not panicking yet.
