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!

So my Blu Engineer and Blu Spy arrived from Toy Wiz yesterday, Yay!!! I also noticed that Toy Wiz have now added a pre-order option for the forthcoming series 4 figures (Medic, Scout, Sniper) due out in October.

I sorta lost interest in these because I got 3 of them, demoman, heavy, and soldier. They all broke within 2 weeks of having them, and soldier came broke out of the box. Demo's leg broke off within the day and heavy is the only one working but his legs don't move; the paint has them stuck almost as if they glued them. the minigun has a small peice that chipped as I carefully took it out of the box. I ordered these from valves store. Maybe when I get money I can purchase new ones, but I don't look foward to spending over 100 dollars on figures that will break within the month. I would have returned them but after doing research it wouldn't seem like they would accept them back. oh well.

Hey guys you technically do have a full collection. If the figures were never made then they can't be part of a collection now can they? You just want figures to be added to the collection.

*Update* I thought for sure when NECA released the series 4 RED Sniper, Scout & Medic that the series 4 BLU Sniper, Scout & Medic would follow. I finally got an answer from NECA and they stated it ain't gonna happen. You'd think since they already had the molds running a batch in BLU would be a no-brainer. So it appears we'll never be able to complete the BLU team collection. I supposed I could order a 2nd series 4 set in RED and then paint them myself. Bummer....
