A tale of woe, McFarlane style
Okay, let's start at the beginning. Back in October of last year, McFarlane released a schedule for Halo action figure release in 2008. Littlebigman transcribed the Spawn.com list, which is good, because it's been edited since then. At that point, the plan for vehicles was a Series 2 release in June, consisting of a Scarab, Wraith, and Mongoose, and a series 3 release in August, consisting of a Banshee, Hornet, and Scorpion Tank. At some point in the next month or two, the Series 2 group was canceled - but then in February they were added to the Series 3 release. By April, the six vehicles slated for Series 3 was cut back to 3 - the three original Series 2 vehicles. And today, Subnova's 3of9 got an email from Big Bad Toy Store:
McFarlane Toys has just informed us that these items has been cancelled and that will not be produced. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have cancelled all preorders and removed the item from our site.
From 6, to 3, to 0. Ack! Here's hoping they get reannounced in an upcoming series. (Louis Wu 16:32:16 UTC)
