Shit, you just answered my question. No Mechagodzilla? I haz a sad.

Any idea of the particulars of the license deal? Why just Godzilla and no one/thing else?

So, in other words, no one ever said anything about the line being cancelled if this one doesn't sell, yes?

Did you actually read a post from someone at NECA saying that if '54 Godzilla doesn't sell then they're axing the line? Because everyone else here is disputing that was ever said.

Kind of like how Scott Neitlich said we would never see Doomsday Unleashed because the sub didn't hit their requirements for him to be made.

Things change. Lots of figures see release that were thought cancelled. Heck, in the new GI Joe 50th line they just released two figures that were cancelled from back in the Pursuit of Cobra days (Croc Master and Blowtorch).

Hell, one time on Twitter I asked Randy if they were ever going to make a Commando figure, and they replied that they didn't have the license and that it wasn't a popular enough property. Then a few months later they announced the Ultimate Commando figure. When I asked Randy on Twitter about it, he said he was just being coy because they couldn't announce anything at the time.
