They're still periodically putting up fresh GtG replacement heads in their store. And, they're still selling their existing LOTR stock. Normally, when a company loses a license completely, they'd have to take that stuff down.
I'm just reading tea leaves, but that feels like a hopeful sign...
Wasn't their last quasi-official statement (on here at least) was that things were on hold for a while with the license? Which could mean a lot of things. It sucks and we all want answers - and figures - but sometimes we just have to wait until companies work things out between each other or...
:lol
Yeah, I think they're planning several series about different groups of Targaryens specifically. (Martin has a two-book history of the family. Though I believe the second book hasn't been released yet. Huge surprise!) The shows would cover different periods in Targ history.

Agreed. When my Gollum/Smeagol had fading issues, they sent me two whole bodies, free of any charge. They did right by me and I won't knock them for it.
Yeah, we members of Club 96000 gotta be super close, since not all those orders are for Gandalf. There have to be a bunch of Aragorn orders mixed in there that will get skipped over until he's ready to ship. (My Aragorn number is lower than my Gandalf.) So we gotta be SO close now ...
Man, I feel this in my bones. I really need to purge at least a big chunk of this collection, but the idea of it is SO overwhelming. I've had a bunch of different collections over the years and gone through cycles of collecting and purging. But as I got older, the collectibles have gotten...
His silver scarf was part of his outfit in The Hobbit. Tolkien specifically mentions it. (It's featured prominently in his outfit when he shows up at Bag End in the first Hobbit movie.) I bet it's inclusion in FotR was probably an Easter egg by Jackson and the costume department.
