C.O.P.S. 'n Crooks

Have they announced any other characters yet?

I'm not collecting the line so I haven't been paying too much attention. However it seems like they are taking an awfully long time to only have one figure release which doesn't inspire too much confidence in me as to how long they can go with this line.

Like Chooch555 said, it does seem like BBTS teased a pic of Dr. Bad Vibes Robot at one point. So, maybe he is in the works. That seems like a very odd second figure to me. But who knows.
 
If I had to guess, Badvibes is the most senior villain with the most generic tooling while they're still testing the waters.

Testing the waters at a pace of one figure a year.
 
I am fascinated to see if BBWS will get around to more figures from this line.

They have SO much product in development currently with no follow up figures for this announced or revealed. I'm hoping its not one and done, but given how far ahead they revealed future offerings in other lines, the lack of any tease for future releases for C 'n C seems like an ill omen.
 
I think we're seeing a Super7-like shift to announcing closer to release, and we're in the Gap.

But Vess was always a test, so sales of him will decide if the line continues. I always believe that showing the line's future is a great sales boost, though, so this could be self-defeating. "We're only showing one at a time" seems like a great way to kill interest.

Yep.

This is a hobby where a common refrain is "That's cool, what's next?" We are always looking to the horizon for the new, shiny thing and having nothing new to look at, or discuss, for so long is a good way to kill momentum. Also what good is releasing Bulletproof and not have anything else in the pipeline? Great I have one figure from a pretty expansive line and..........
 
Unfortunately, he's the ONLY thing in my PoL at the moment. Next due is RGB solo Winston, which I do not think is imminent. At least I've gotten no notice as such. I actually have the fewest open POs I've ever had at BBTS right now, about 15. I have some things saved in my cart to throw in if I'm feeling gluttonous. But nothing POed is on the horizon.
 
Thats crazy. I think I have near 70 open PO's. A number of those are Brutal Realm, that I'll probably cancel... but even so its north of 50.
 
I think the most I’ve had was just over 30. I still PO a lot of things from big box like Amazon and Pulse. Exclusives from Target and Walmart when applicable. The stuff I get from BBTS is usually boutique stuff like Boss Fight or Mezco One12. Currently Mondo RGBs, Super7 ReAction+ Joes. Only mass market stuff I order from BBTS is MotU, just to keep it all in one place.
 
Ummm... same. But I have like 20 BBWS/FMF figures coming, 12 things preordered from 4H, 12 things from Super7, 8 from Boss Fight, 4 from Loose Collector and various other odds and ends. The only Hasbro items are Grizzly and Ghost Rider.

All the Marvel Legends, G.I. Joe and He-Man stuff is preordered at Amazon
 
I'm looking forward to hearing thoughts on Bulletproof though. Sorry it'll be a while before I can get my hands on him. I'm still not sure where I'll display him. Thematically, he could fit either with GI Joe or even Silverhawks, but if he's truly 1:12 scale, he'd be best with Classified. He won't necessarily stick out like a sore thumb, but my Classified display is so crowded already, I can only fit '82-87 figures on the shelf! Had to cut it off somewhere.
 
I shipped right away with Bulletproof as the lone item and got the shipping notification. I just got a pol on Friday and my BBTS preorders for March are kind of light. One is Mezco Conan, lol.
 
Robo reviewed him tonight on Patreon. He looks good, but I can't get into ANOTHER line when I'm trying to cut back.

There is a tease of another figure besides Dr Bad Vibes on the back of the box.
It's the character Longarm. The cop in all blue with the throwback style cap
