Prodos lost the AvP license as Fox has been acquired by Disney.
I for one am rather sad to see the Prodos figures discontinued as I think they are absolutely lovely. The GF9 minis look pretty average so far but hopefully they will be a bit better when the time comes. I do hope GF9 will be successful enough to justify the release of additional figures at some stage. It’s a great IP and it would be a shame not to have a game for it  8)

I can only agree , the miniature quality of the Prodos AvP sculpts was great.
The KS was however very badly handled...
So I can understand  some bad feelings.
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - http://www.adpublishing.de

Personally I'm always concerned when I see GF9 linked to property, as they always seem to miss their deadlines.

I'm basing my experience on their handling of the Dr Who Time of the Daleks game.

Immediately prior to release, GF9 decided to lower the number of Doctors from 6 to 4 and reduced the price. The 2 missing Doctors were supposed to be released as an expansion that still hasn't materialised (pun intended). 2 years on, we're still awaiting the oft promised expansions.
