There is a public record of the lawsuit, so I can say just that much and nothing more.

Well, now I need to raise capital since I own the company and retain the license over these figures. I would love noting more then to make all the figures immediately! I have planned out 5 waves with Capcom based on their popularity and demand, but all figures have been worked into a schedule.

That really sucks, I will admit. At least the Kickstarter campaign makes sense now (sorta) but I have to wonder, why doesn't Capcom pump some money into the project themselves?

*sighs... Those bold characters that I highlighted...they unfortunately are part of the problem. Important characters to the series yes, but they've been done to death. Might as well put an Iron Man and a Captain America in there as well as part of the first wave.


On a serious note, Capo Toys has updated their Kickstarter page with more info on the rewards and goals, but there was yet another piece of info on the site that left me both facepalming and scratching my head. They now have a new stretchgoal, which unlocks the tooling for Sagat. Sagat will then be getting HIS OWN kickstarter to get that figure made!?!

Is this seriously how they intend the line to be made? By offering a Kickstarter for each individual figure?

Like I said, hopefully something good comes their way, but for me personally, I really don't see this line maturing and coming to fruition. It holds too much hope and work on the consumer. This is not entirely Capo Toys fault, I'm sure that Mega Man's dive in popularity hasn't hurt Capcom THAT much in that they can't support the most recognizable franchise that they have a bit more. I'll hold out to see what PCS has in store for us in the near future....
