On the other forum there is an interview with My Collectible World in which Jerry stated that the SOA 1:6 figures are in tooling in China. Once they receive the final samples back they would photograph and do the pre-order based on those rather than a prototype.
"I decided to not use prototypes for the pre-sale as since we are new to 1:6 I want customers to see actual final production pieces before pre-ordering"
Pretty cool in my book if that's true. Anyway, I'm just glad that this is still in the pipeline and hasn't been dropped. I saw the prototypes previously at Wondercon and was pretty jazzed, they looked good. I need some SOA on my shelf, was almost tempted into picking up some mezco figures. Would be cool if they had something to see at this year's Wondercon in a couple of weeks.
