posted this at another site...thought you might like the news...
Yeah, I have been a Simpson's collector from the beginning but sort of in the closet, so it's nice to be here.
Yeah we made a judgement call on Teeth...but too limited. Truth is we did not even know how the stuff was going to sell, because the line got delayed over a QC issue, but the line was SUPPOSED to be out in time for us to gauge consumer response. The best laid plans......but so as to not beef the collector's we can't offer him again. Some paid a lot for him and that would be unfair to those guys. The plan from this time forward on the band repaints is that they will be released as a one per case chase figure variant...not an exclusive. Plenty to go around. Then, if you want it and the peeps at MC and elsewhere want it we will do a new Teeth to complete that "set". But the WW Teeth is gonna be that holy grail, unfortunately. Oh, and as of Series 3 we will be toning back on the exclusives a bit. Here in the beginning, because of the proximity of the shows...it is a lot.
It won't happen again. The "too limited" thing. With one exception. Already in the works was an Invisible Beaker as a give away at the industry party in Chicago. Similar to the Kermit one in Philly. Limited, but one that people will probably want and desire to kill us over. Before you tear me a new one...we have already started discussing including it in the game plan of making it more available along with the rest of the stuff. We'll keep you posted on that. Depends on overall response.
Later,
Ken
