If they do announce Silver Warrior, de we expect him to get more or less clamor than Elric?

Less, honestly. Elric is to the Moorcock "Eternal Champion" stories what Conan is to the Robert E. Howard Universe. Silver Warrior is more like Kull or Solomon Kane. Definitely has fans, but Elric is the most popular. Now, there are a lot of indications that many people bought Elric just because he was a great looking figure, and I'm sure there will be a similar reaction to Silver Warrior, but I'm not expecting him to get the same reaction.

There is also the fact that many people couldn't get Elric, and without him in your collection there doesn't seem as much of a point of getting the other incarnations of the Eternal Champion.

I really do hope they pull through with the Silver Warrior. I'll take him without the sled & bears if need be, but of course I would want the whole kaboodle...

I definitely think they should go the route they did with Death Dealer where they made the horse available separately. I think a lot of people would balk at the price if they had to buy a set with the sled and bears, as cool as that would be.

Good luck bro, I hope he converts for you! I like this change at BBTS a lot actually. The waitlist is definitely easier than "camping out" on a product page, and manually refreshing in random hopes you clicked at the right time. Though I imagine it makes things more fair vs a "whoever got in at the right moment" lottery type of thing.

Thanks man! I appreciate it! Fingers crossed!

I like the change too...definitely nice to not have to check the listing multiple times a day on the off chance I just *might* be able to score!

Agreed - Death Dealer style release is the way for Silver Warrior!

Silver Warrior has 4 bears in the painting. There is NO way they are going to make you pay for 4 on top of the figure and sled. The polar bears are almost assuredly going to be sold separately. MAYBE an optional two pack. MAYBE.

I have heard nothing about the sled other than them acknowledging people would want it.

Again all supposition based off the way they've talked their release strategy.

 

[Reefer Shark]

They seem pretty far in development with the bear, so Im assuming it's going to be a reality one way or the other. I have a feeling it will be a single release since more than that would kill off the customers who just want a polar bear.

Hopefully they'll mention something tonight on the live stream; 9:00 pm.

There's a contingent of Frazetta-only fans I'm wondering whether are big enough to make up the difference. Most likely not, but there's def some dudes getting SW to go with DeathDealer instead of Elric.

One assumes the woman they're working on is his Egyptian Queen, yes?

Give me Egyptian Queen for a posable Jaguar

I’d like a female design that’s a bit more warrior-oriented myself.

I'd be willing to bet that's what happens.

 

[Cold Blue]

When / if they make a female I'm almost positive it'll be some sort of Red Sonya ripoff. I actually think there's a good chance they'll never make the classic "sexy" fantasy trope at all, or at least not any time soon.
