I wonder if they have anymore plans for their Bucky O'Hare line. They haven't revealed anything new in over a year and took forever to finally release the last 2 figures. Would be a shame if they are done with that line and never finish the rest of the main characters. With the extreme slowness of releasing figures in this line, I fear it hurt the success of it with collectors, which in turn may have finally killed the line.

Ultimately, it was likely sales that killed the Bucky line. If it were really profitable, it's hard to believe BFS wouldn't have continued it. But has a single figure sold out on their website? These things just didn't move - for whatever reason - not including BFS' complete inability to market product. Make, sure. But market? Not their strong suit. They need to hire someone dedicated to marketing and sales - someone better than whoever they have, anyway. While I don't completely blame BFS for Bucky's sales (it's a niche IP), I do blame them for not putting more focus on completing the core team or the original toy line or hitting some marker - kind of a waste of a license. Instead, BFS seems to operate like Funko, where you release 1 to 2 waves of a license and then abandon it. The end of the Bucky line is sad. And who asked for Pop Eye? Congrats to those who have been waiting their whole lives for this...Happy 91st birthday!

The bar is pretty high, thanks to the work Mezco did when they had the license. No doubt Boss Fight will do an incredible job. However, I live in the UK, so probably won’t get my hands on these unless I feel like paying extortionate shipping fees 😄

I'll keep an eye out but yeah, with the last Mezco set I'm pretty good. I doubt Mezco would do anyone else, but it's not like I've been dying for Popeye stuff either lol. I probably haven't watched a cartoon in 25 years.

I'm definitely curious to see what comes out. The Bucky O'Hare figures are really well done.

It would be great to have Wimpy. God please grant us a Wimpy. I have a bad feeling Mezco is done with the extra characters too. Boss could be our only hope!

I hope they're more toon looking, wasnt keen on the Mezco version. The Mezco made me think of that skit on Family Guy if Popeye had seen a real doctor.

Was hoping Blitzway, especially with the very nice Inspector Gadget figures they're doing, or someone else would try their hand. Now we just got to wait.
