Actually, I live local to Amok Time's Hicksville, NY store and am in there usually once a week, and every so often we talk about the status of the Re-Animator figure...the last time was actually last week. I assumed with the lack of updates and the recent release of their retro figure, that the 7-inch figure was pretty much cancelled at this point.

Previously they had run into issues with Jeffrey Combs' agent, who was making all sorts of outlandish demands (especially considering Re-Animator's limited cult appeal) and really slowing the process to a crawl. I believe there may have been some issues with the Chinese manufacturer, as well.

Shockingly, the project isn't dead yet...they're giving it one final go, and I recall them saying that they're doing some re-designing on the figure, changing/adding articulation, etc. They stressed that this is probably the last chance for it to come to market, but that it's not 100% dead yet.
