out of curiosity, if these all performed well in their special return, and performed well enough in the time they are brought back now, could they be put into regular production?

+1 to that idea.
You archive stuff due to low sales, makes sense to unarchive it due to good sales amirite?

They sold well for the time up on the website as a archive special return during the month they where up. But not to the degree that would be needed to be taken out of the archive. At some point some could come out but that is a call that Mike and Marc would have to make. To pull them out of archive would also mean they would need to sell better in distribution than they have in the past.....one month does not a whole year make....especially in retail.

Sounds like they'll be available until the end of January after the January Poll is concluded.

speck · « **Reply #8 on:** 31 December 2011, 11:14:41 »

They will be available till the end of January. I will have the new poll up early in January, most likely later this week.

Seriously. I want this model. Was it ever even released? I never saw it until it was on the archive list.

Ian Sharpe · « **Reply #21 on:** 06 January 2012, 01:14:37 »

It was one of the FanTech sculpts, IIRC. They were on the website.

TheOldGuy · « **Reply #22 on:** 06 January 2012, 01:42:28 »

Initiate.

Gnome and Kage would be great too.

And the Nightsky.

And the Toyama.

So in conclusion: THE INITIATE. And if you could tack on Gnome and Kage BA, and a Nighstky and Toyama... hell I'll give you my address and you can send a box for free. But seriously, the Initiate.

I'll second the Toyama, and throw in a vote for the Hellspawn.
