Zoe pre-order is gone from DST, and John from BCC said he had heard that she was cancelled, so I guess they didn't get the kind of numbers they wanted from River and Inara. Both of those statues look great in my Serenity collection, and I really was wishing for as many more as possible, and definitely the Zoe they'd already showed.
Really disappointing even though they could have looked a better, I was really happy with to get them.

I REALLY HATE DST now! I am reluctant to collect ANYTHING they produce. I mean, fine cancel the Serenity Statue line, but don't Cancel the piece that is currently scheduled to come out! I am tired of them showing us product only to cancel it a month or two before it comes out!
Maybe if they would produce product with better likness it would sell better. I mean look at their Stargate and Battlestar figures, most of those have incredible likenesses and are very well made...why did they make the choices they have made for all Whedon collectables. Imagin with the Buffy, Angel, and Firefly figures would have been like if they had produced them like they have for their newer licences.
Jerks!
And one more thing. I can't imagine retrailers...especially those who offer pre-orders, could be too happy with DST. How frustrating it must be to cancel orders, inform people, and then refund all that money when DST decides to cancel their product.
No wonder no one wants to pre order their product. It's not lack of interest it's lack of trust!

That sucks. Yeah the statues haven't been the greatest, but i prefer them to nothing. From a short distance they look really good actually. Today i got a different type of Zoe (from a place called ntoonz; heard of them at serenitystuff.com):    Ain't she cute? I should send her round to kick dst's arse. |

WOW! Browncoat, she is the perfect little Zoe. Have you got any others?
I can't say I'm surprised about her cancellation. She had a considerably lukewarm response, with most hating the initial pictures of the statue.

She's my only one so far, but i have crazy hair book on order. Will post a photo when he is done.
Is it any wonder people don't buy the serenity stuff. While the figures and statues are good, neither have been super great likenesses. And i wonder how many people didn't buy because of the fear that they may cancell the line after only two characters (like the 6" figures)??
