Epic Win toys that were cancelled

It's kind of sad that some crap like the NECA Player Select Street Fighter 4 came to see the day of production; but some awesome stuff didn't got pushed through due to either poor sales of the franchise or the bankruptcy of the toy company itself.

There are a lot of canceled toy lines out there but I won't give a damn about them anymore. However, I'd focus about these two notable sets that were canceled for the same two reasons that I've previously stated.

Southern Island Fullmetal Alchemist Action Figures


...and to think Gluttony and Lust were in-scale with the Play Arts.
Let alone the FUGLY Edward and Alphonse sculpts... :(

Four action figures depicting Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric; and the two homunculi Lust and Gluttony; are slated for a release during the time the American adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist was booming in America (and the dubbers getting praised -- which is a rare case in a Japanophile-ridden country). However, Southern Island soon went bankrupt and their unsold products were put up in E-bay auctions. Sadly, though, these Play Arts accompaniments didn't saw the light of production day.


...and nice Diorama too.



Square-Enix The Last Remnant Action Figures



I love this "Mini poster" that I made...
but the word "Upcoming" will certainly be forever slapped on my face.

I don't want to think that it has been cancelled; but when they do not give a damn about a certain set of action figures anymore in conventions, it could only mean one thing: Yeah, right. Cancellation.

That's what companies get for being so overconfident with a mediocre Dynasty Warriors-esque game. They turned down the hopes of fans too who are hoping for a handsome Rush Sykes action figure --which turned out to be just a Rushed Yikes.

But whatever happens to the action figure industry; there would be more and more figures that would be an utter waste of plastic, money and fan's hopes.

...and more epic win stuff that will sadly get canceled.
