Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

[fac]

So is everything else up for reissue? They've said they won't do that. "Word matter in the crucible" — but I don't know what they're saying ...

My speculation is not that they are leaving the door open for reissues, but the "sold out" items may have very limited stock that is being held back for potential replacement of fulfilled orders with QC issues or lost packages and so on.

Once they feel they no longer need to hold on to them for customer service reasons, they could make that limited stock available via in-person sales at conventions. And they are laying the groundwork for the possible kerfuffle posts of "How come you had 3 Savage Lemurians at the con when you said they were sold out?"

But that's just a guess. They may not want to admit they have any extras so as not to encourage folks begging for a figure...

Unless part of the license, my guess is no chance.

'The license' is generally about the text on the box, and the blind bag items literally have no text on them whatsoever.

So, I'm wondering, does this contract disallow parts re-use as well as packaging-text reuse? Every contract is its own beast, but there's lots of precedence for contracted parts showing up in general release unlicensed products afterwards.

It absolutely is not. A license is about IP belonging to the author and designs based off his works.

Yes, what I'm saying is unless they made a specific carveout for it, they won't be able to.

Like how Mattel used some MOTUC tooling in DCUC because they owned it, but NO DCUC tooling appeared outside DCUC because they weren't allowed to do that. Unless the person whose licensed material you are making says you can use it elsewhere or in a way different from originally contracted, you can't. Cut and dry.

The only item I can find that is listed as "entombed" is the silver decoder.

All I know is that "entombed" is such a galaxy-brained way to say "discontinued" or "limited run" that it'll immediately make for an exceptional in-joke.

Alt already used it to great effect during this afternoon's AT D&D session.

Those are for their version of Frazetta's Silver Warrior painting pretty sure.

I believe that painting is the cover of the Erekose/John Daker eternal champion book that Rakyn mentioned, and Dek mentioned from conversations with Frankie that Rob likely wants to release that under both the Moorcock license and the Frazetta one.
