 Re: Gargamel Aug 16th Releases
I haven't heard anything...but over the last year I always hear about people asking for more fight figures and people responding..'fight figures don't sell well'
But you know..This year we've seen 2 gammepas, a cumberlain etc.

But you know..This year we've seen 2 gammepas, a cumberlain etc. and they sit on the shelves  I love most of Gargamel's fight figures too...but I'm happy with the rate that they make their figures. I love Gargamel because they produce such a variety of figures...a few zags a year, a few fight figures a year, and what not. Some months you buy more Gargamel toy, and some you don't even buy a single Gargamel toy. Its a wonderful thing cause it always leaves you wanting.

And I actually liked that they released an unchi kin and other random things. I love when those random gargamel sculpts make an appearance. They almost seem new again. I think most people will flip if they put out another gacha mecha

 Re: Gargamel Aug 16th Releases
Were the other Gargamel figures (Zags, Zandora, etc) released? Or did they just sell out so fast I just missed them...

 Re: Gargamel Aug 16th Releases
I have not found any decent prices for the Zags yet. Pretty spendy on the secondary market!

 Re: Gargamel Aug 16th Releases
I'd be bummed if Gargamel's fight figures were totally retired, but I don't think that's the case. My impression that they don't sell that well was based on Koji and Flynn saying the same thing after SDCC2007, and seeing how long most of them remain available at the retail venues.
