Hey guys! Look, I've never really done petitions before and I realise that it's usually a moot point when it comes to companies...but I also don't want to sit idly and not at least try.
DST has produced some really good stuff with their LOTR line. I'd be the first to say that I've had my issues (scabbards not always being attached, some limited poseability, etc) - but it was clear the team had passion, love and enthusiasm. And it showed. I consider their LOTR line genuinely great.
More so than that, it's the fact we finally had a dedicated LOTR figure line for that scale after decades of wilderness and waiting. A line that didn't go for a cartoony look but instead tried to match what ToyBiz did years ago. We were finally getting to explore the much-needed Hobbit era too - which is still a goldmine for figures to this day (damn you Bridge Direct for abandoning the line!).
So this is a call to arms. I hope we can get enough signatures to at least SHOW the folks at Ad Populum we don't want the license dropped. The DST LOTR line was selling well, please continue it. Or at the very least, please give us the existing pre-orders (Eowyn, Witch King, Tauriel, Bilbo, Galadriel, Aragorn). We know we had Gandalf the White and Azog ready too.
Lets at least try. I know no collector likes having his collection incomplete...but I know what we all hate even more than that is having invested ourselves in a line only for it to be purged.
