Valid and fair point, I am sure Mezco wonders/worries about these kinds of things. As do a lot of toy manufacturers who produce products based on source material like this. Hot Toys for example, often puts out figures from a movie that was released anywhere from 6 months ago and beyond which is often well past the peak interest for whatever the figure is based on. My attitude as a collector is: If I like the product and the source material it's based on, that feeling won't change waiting for the figure to be released.

Yea, it sucks that both the Mezco and Hot Toys Spider-Man homecomings are coming out next summer or later, same for Guardians Hot Toys coming out half a year later than I think they should, so are plenty of the SH Figuarts and other figure lines I collect. Just seems to be the nature of the industry, waiting for license approval, designs change at the source and therefore have to be changed at the toy end and that just pushes everything back. More insane is that Mezco showed off figures before this one, that still don't even have a release date. Where the heck are those?
