The Premium and DLX Lines are the most successful toylines in the history of 3A and Threezero. They sell in the thousands. Some of them in the tens of thousands. Neither toy line is being canceled.
Oh shit. I figured that was the case but its cool to see actual word on that. Was sales pretty low from Death or was it over the succesive 2000AD figures? I think its a goddamn shame we won't get a Judge Fire.
Death sold better than Dredd. Most of the releases lost money or broke even at best. I'm shocked how low the sales were on the 1/6th Dredd even with all the coverage it got. The Apocalypse War version is pretty rare
Then your assumptions about sales figures "in their thousands/tens of thousands" has no merit. Case dismissed.
I'm the licensing manager for 3A. I receive all the sales reports on the licensed lines. Actual sales numbers are not disclosed publicly.
It's a goddamn shame. I think Fear was pretty great, though I heard that Mortis suffered pretty badly from breakage. Hell, my Mortis wasn't spared from breakage either. Thanks for the insight though. I'm a huge Dredd fan and it's still sad to hear that sales for the line weren't up to expectations.
Honestly, I never realised they were different companies. Guess I just saw "THREE" and went on auto-pilot...
There's a healthy market for these things. Next to my Ultimetal battle damaged Prime, the 3A Evasion Mode Prime is my favorite TF figure. Kinda kicking myself for canceling my preorder for their Last Knight Prime.
This situation had nothing to do with TF at all, and in fact, the TF license was kept and will continue with the sister company. There obviously is demand for these types of things because the line has expanded into two different size classes and there are multiple figures in production. As per the article, the split was due to the original partner's desire to move on and do stuff based on his own art and properties, while the company doing the TF stuff can continue doing more traditional licensed stuff. AKA Game of Thrones, Transformers, Destiny, Ultraman, etc.
I believe they actually had another spin off brand too a few years ago, but I don't remember what it was for...
Arguing against the licensing manager for the company and saying their "assumptions about sales figures" has no merit? Hmm...
This. Most longtime 3A fans are actually happy to finally be free of the rollercoaster that was Ash and his ridiculous mentality about everything. For the past few years it's been apparent that Ash doesn't make 3A what it is, the community did/does. Ash just makes fetish bullshit to inflate his "artistic" ego.
