I'm torn, on the one hand as indicated they crafted a good figure, and developed the prototype for the next in the line, showing good faith in the licence , and their goal to continue the line.
Yet if sales weren't there, what are they supposed to do? Continue production at a loss?
They aren't just fans and completest making these for fun, they have to sell enough to pursue the next, and justify the licence.
Firefly and Princess Bride are terrific licence, and while glad to see someone snag the licence and at least try, would love to see them completed, if the fans aren't there, what can they do?
As much as I love their next choice...
For Princes Bride, I can't help but wonder if for brand "marketing" (if there was a thing for such a fringe company) maybe revealing and releasing the titular Princess Bride character along with Westley from the go, showing them together assured might have brought confidence in the line and a broader audience(for those sitting on the fence before committing to what might end up being a companionless figure)?
Yet who is willing to take the ri$k?.
