Here on the Perimeter
This is what happens when you totally abandon loyal customers. Leaving them drifting out in space where no one can hear you scream or in this case, yell.

Logic.
That point has been made many times. And it's not going to stop people being pissed off about this situation. If she wasn't actually coming soon Hot Toys shouldn't have put her on that poster. They created the expectation.
It would be shady business if they cancelled it. She goes up for pre-order 1.5 years ago, they take peeps money, then they cancel the figure? Has HT cancelled any fig AFTER peeps have paid?
i think were getting it LATER than sooner, but well get it. I just hope it was worth the wait. HT might be at the front of the 1/6 collectible world, but they have show to have little respect for their customers.

Respect will be "coming soon"!!
I'll stay tuned for that.
I think it'd be a first if it was cancelled. Presumably everyone would be compensated?

Nobody cares about alien anymore, even the new movies failed that the studio canceled the next project.
I'm guessing hot toys will never produce a single covenant figure

More logic.
What was the original release date? SSC says July. So is it really that late? Or are we just antsy?
It's pretty late as far as the release projection they gave when the official specs and pics came out - Q4 2016-Q1 2017. And what makes it feel longer still is that, unlike Marvel, DC or Star Wars, people here don't have numerous other figures and announcements to be distracted by. This figure is it, pretty much.
And heck it took about 2 years after it was first shown just to get those official specs and pics. Thread started in July 2014 and Centrocal posted the Hi-Res shots in May 2016.

The first post indicating Sideshow had her up for order^ May 2016.

Ok. Thanks for the info.
Yeah, i would agree this is about 4-6 months behind the tail end of their original projection window.
Just doesnt feel like this is a priority. But i dont see them cancelling this. It would be unprecedented.

They won't be cancelling it. Any talk of cancelling is just fake news. Others have asked whether any Hot Toys figure was cancelled after being up for pre-order--pretty sure the answer is no or many people would have heard about it.
where the GTFO button?? lol

Just a pre-order like every other. Nobody has stock or an idea of release.
Ghostbusters how long they been waiting? 13 months? And they've had regular show pictures to satisfy them. No comparison.
I wonder how many of them won't have funds when the time comes? It always happens, especially with multiple figures. Now there's going to be 20 pages of people talking themselves out of that $1500 Ecto-1.
