They are announced at SDCC in 2011, shown physically at NYCC 2011. The customers didn't go crazy we still wanted C&C figures. So at NYTF only wave 1 was shown and wave 2 as well as the series cancelled

Yes, but you also don't seem to understand that Total Heroes is not exclusively collector-oriented, judging by the aesthetic direction and intended play style. DCUC, the All-Star waves, Club Infinite Earth, all of that is targeted more at collectors, whereas the Total Heroes line appears to be aimed more for a general audience, be they adults, kids, etc. This is also why certain recognizable characters get overexposed in other lines, to get the all-mighty dollar from people who aren't going to give two hoots about the Metal Men or Parademons.

Kids and parents don't always keep up on things like Toy Fair/Comic-Con reveals, and certainly can't attend all of them, so until the figures hit stores and their intended demographic votes with their wallet, we simply do not know what support Total Heroes may or may not have. You can use fan reaction to the All-Star line as a barometer for its support before it hit shelves, but you can't do the same thing with a line that intends to hit a large audience that don't attend industry shows/follow industry news like collectors do.
