Re: [CULT KING] - The Princess Bride - Wesley / Dread Pirate Roberts

Hey guys, after speaking with DarklordDave I've decided to cancel this project in light of an impending licensed version. So let's all be excited for that, shall we? :duff Thanks for the support, though!

Add me in please! LOL. Just saw it has been cancelled!
 
Re: [CULT KING] - The Princess Bride - Wesley / Dread Pirate Roberts

I'd guess Star Ace as well since Dave seems to have an inside track on their projects. Thanks for confirming, MarfMaster.
 
Re: [CULT KING] - The Princess Bride - Wesley / Dread Pirate Roberts

Good to hear there will be a licensed version, which will hopefully mean great quality and more characters -- Inigo, Buttercup, Vizzini and Fezzik. That would definitely be a line worth getting.
 
Re: [CULT KING] - The Princess Bride - Wesley / Dread Pirate Roberts

That's awesome news. Agree with you, nexus; I'd grab everyone from that's produced.
 
Re: [CULT KING] - The Princess Bride - Wesley / Dread Pirate Roberts

Canceled! Damn man!

I've thrown the idea of The Man in Black & The Spaniard duo past Mr. X (with Fullmetal collaboration) several times. I ran into Dave several times at the last NYCC and he mentioned the upcoming licensed release, so I gave up on pitching it to Cult King, but I've been dying for these guys so I was pumped to see that Dane got it going.

Dave was vague with me and didn't want to say much, but I got the impression that it wasn't Star Ace. I have to say it's hard to be pumped for a licensed offering of this line considering the possible candidates that may have picked up the license. Threezero?! Sideshow?! They, and several others who could be mass producing these are well capable of delivering an array of disappointments. I see what Threezero has been doing and I'm actually aggravated that they have great licenses like TWD, BrBa and GoT.

I just hope Dave was being secretive and it is in fact Star Ace who will be doing this line. Then I could rest easy. They're the only mass producers that I can put great faith in aside from HT, EB and BW. I'm really disappointed that it's not Star Ace giving us TWD and BrBa figs. They would do those lines the justice they deserve
 
Re: [CULT KING] - The Princess Bride - Wesley / Dread Pirate Roberts

My preference is definitely Star Ace for this line, let's hope it's them and they do a good job.

Was there anything in particular that suggested to you that Dave wasn't talking about Star Ace, or just general vagueness?

No, he pretty much said flat out it wasn't them :lol :(

The thing is, HT has come so far that they're really in a league of their own now. BW would rival them if they actually made more than 1 figure every 2 years, and so would Enterbay if they wanted to get back into cinema and not solely focus on the NBA.

Aside from Star Ace, I think the best of the mass producing side of the industry only consists of companies who either make a figure that's "good for the money", or are "HT prices but not quite HT quality". SA imo is HTs' closest competition because of their great balance of quality & price (and overall bang for your buck).

Not only that but the company is ran by some super cool, down to earth dudes. I go to NYCC all 4 days every year, and I stopped by to chop it up with them every day for the last 2 years they've been there (Dave was only there '15, not the year before). I told them how disappointed I was in Threezero getting all of those great licences and that I wish it were them to give us proper quality TWD/BrBa/GoT figs.

PopCultKid: making comic cons sound like a (note-to-nose) nightclub toilet scene from Carlitos Way since 2014.

It's not Star Ace, guys, but I have faith that the figure will be great based on the limited info I have. :) Dave said updates coming soon!
 
I dreamt of the CK & Fullmetal collab for some time now. Here's hoping that the update on the producer will be good news. Fingers crossed and praying that they will be great!
