No more NECA TF2 action figures!!! Why Valve, why?

[Uncle Meat]

So I have been buying/collecting the NECA TF2 Red/Blu action figures as they've been released. Series 1 consisted of the Pyro & Demo, Series 2 was the Solly & Heavy, and series 3 was the Spy & Engineer. However only the Red version of series 3 has been released. I've been patiently waiting for the series 3 Blu Spy & Engie to come out and when it didn't I contacted NECA directly and asked what was up? This is the reply I recieved.

"NECA currently has no plans to release these figures. The decision to continue production on this line rests with Valve, not NECA. If you wish to see the line continue, please contact Valve instead."

Great! I have all this money ($200+) invested in what is now essentially a partial set of action figures.

Thanks Valve!

I'm still rally pissed about this and I can't get an answer from Valve. Wish I had a better email address for them...

Invest in pixels instead.

Why don't you see if they're being sold online by people who own them?

Ah man that sucks, I really liked the figures too :C

You must not have read or understood my initial post. I own all of the TF2 figures created by NECA thus far. The problem is Valve for some unknown reason has broken off their relationship with NECA and directed them to stop production on the remaining TF2 figures. So EVERYONE who started collecting these is now screwed because the remaining TF2 figures will never be produced and we're all stuck with a partial set.

Where do you see Valve stopping the production of action figures?

All I see is NECA waiting for Valve orders, so Valve may or may not continue.
Which I doubt they will not continue, and infact release them later.

Cmon, it is Valve time, for gosh sakes!

Did you not read the reply I got from NECA when I asked why the series 3 Blu Spy & Engy did not release as expected? Here let me refresh your memory from the original post...

"NECA currently has no plans to release these figures. The decision to continue production on this line rests with Valve, not NECA. If you wish to see the line continue, please contact Valve instead."

This was answered on NECA's Twitter account. NECA does not have the licenses to make any more TF2 figures. The ball is totally in Valve's court. This sucks for me because i have all the figures too. Valve seems to be ok with WeLoveFine and their blind box minis, so maybe something else is going on.

Why does Valve make ♥♥♥♥♥♥ decisions, then when they are asked about it they give no response? It's like they don't care about the input of fans anymore.

I wish I had a better email to use to send a taste of my disatifaction to Valve management.

WTF do I do with half a collection!?!?!?!?

I am slightly confused here, you say BLU Spy and Engie didn't come out, however the wiki claims BLU Spy and Engie came with codes for Genuine Camera Beards and Genuine Texas Ten Gallons and those items definitely exist.

To be fair the wiki also claims the Scout, Medic, and Sniper models with their respective items also all exist when they obviously don't exist.

Wiki is definately incorrect! They released the Red Spy/Engie, but not the Blu. Regardless of team color you get codes for those respective hats for those classes. If you do a quick Google search you'll see there is no Blu Spy/Engie sales or release info anywhere.

This is really just another disappointment. Valve doesn't really seem to care anymore what their fans get and it is really upsetting. To stop a collection short like this is just ridiculous and really does screw us over as we so willingly threw cash at the figures to already come out only to be left with half a collection and an infinite amount of dissatisfaction. This carries over to the gamingheads statues as well.
