I agree. There are so many untapped horror properties out there with great character designs, but are deemed "too niche". Since these are all being sold under the Del Toro banner, as a collection, I guess I can see doing Devil's Backbone, as collectors like myself, who HAVE to have complete lines will buy them all.

I really do love the old days, when NECA was cranking out horror figures under the Cult Classics banner. I know they were less articulated, but I would rather have 7" statues of cool, creepy characters than no characters at all. Hell, it had the word CULT right in it. As in, small, loyal following. Now, if it doesn't fall into the "Mainstream Multi-Million Dollar-Making Cash Cow Classics" there's a good chance it will never get made.
