The GL\/Zodac and Supergirl\/She-Ra packs should still hit before the end of the year now for a total of 5 packs. But the sixth pack will not move forward unfortunately.  There just has not been enough interest from retailers to keep this line going. While we announced 6 packs and hoped to do 6, we could not find a retailer who would take the min order needed for the 6th pack. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#ca0003\"><strong>MOTUClassics.Com: <\/strong><\/span>Is there a firm number of MOTU Classics reissues for the second half of the year? Will they still be monthly?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Likely there will still be re-releases each month, but all will be older figures that already had been slotted into the production schedule (line time) for re-release. This will also spill over into 2012. The change is really that starting with Leech and Hordak in Sept, we will no longer be going into second runs on newer figures. So all re-releases will be of older figures from the line already scheduled. We won\u2019t be scheduling any more at this point.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000a9\"><strong>DCClassics.Com:<\/strong><\/span> With DC Relaunch character designs being mixed in for 2012, will a relaunch design take precedence over a classic design for characters getting their first figure? <\/p>\n<p><strong>That is still up on the air. We are working very closely with our partners at DC and WB to get the most iconic versions if each character out from various eras!
