I remember reading an interview concerning Shane Acker a while back where he said that we were eventually getting 5, 6, 3&4, 2, 7 and 8 figurines (and maybe even some larger-scaled figurines of the machines,) sometime after the DVD's release in January... But from what I've seen so far... no figurines. I'm guessing that the line was discontinued or something. Which is a shame, 'cause I know I'd buy a 5 or Cat Beast figurine without hesitation if they were ever released.

I must agree there, 12. I'd totally buy a 7 figure-- they even had an image for it-- but never came out with any. I really hope they're for sale somewhere, like at a private retailer or something, but I think you're right about the discontinuation. 8C [/size]

Yeah I was looking foward to getting those new figures. I highly doubt that they'll make them soon but maybe years from now. *sigh* Maybe some sites do sell them but I haven't came across any that do.

I've been dying for them to come out with a 5 figurine, since he's my absolute favorite character, but I'd totally get a 7 one as well to make the two of them totally make out. *shot*
But in all seriousness, I really hope they do come out with the other figures, cuz we all love 1 and 9, of course, but the others are great, too! [/center]

Yeah, yeah! They could have the extremely detailed figurines for the Beasts~! And by detailed, I mean like this! They didn't forget a thing on this guy, and he looks so epic~! As for 1-9, I think it would be cool if they were made out of PVC, like anime figures are ^o^ That way, we could have 9 looking normal in some cool action pose, instead of the famed pedo9 we all know. XD

You never know ... sometimes a dedicated fanbase can revive a show or movie. Look what happened to TNBC and Futurama.
Unfortunately 9 doesn't have much merchandise out to begin with, but if they sell well it send s a clear message to the merchandisers to make MOAR and pacify our fangirly/fanguy-y needs. I wouldn't rule out future figurines if the fandom gives 9 a lot of support.

Yeah, what JJ said. If there's a demand for them, and they think they'll make some money, they'll be made for distribution. They would also probably make them if there was another movie made.
But, for now, 9 and 1 it is. XD

I think the problem that's preventing the other figurines being sold out is that, the movie wasn't as popular like Avatar or stupid freaking New Moon because the budget was only 30 million bucks.
But I'd seriously wished those figurines would come out sooner or later!

Man a figure like the pic Clover posted would be worth a lot. But yeah I just wished they release more merchendise to this movie or plan to very soon.

That's just such a bummer. When I saw 1 and 9 figure at Suncoast I flipped the frack out and bought them both. I didn't even like 1 at the time but that didn't stop me.
I think they need to check out this fourm so they know how bad we want those figtures X3
Any way, they've been teasing us about 7 for long enough. :/

Guys! I found NECA's website! www.necaonline.com/licenses/listIf you click on "Costumer Service", you can write a message to NECA. I say we all send them messages saying that we're deticated 9 fans, bought their 1 and 9 figures, and that we'd love it if they'd come out with 2-8. If you don't think you can convince them to make ALL of them, then tell them to at least come out with 7 since they put up an image of her on the internet for God sakes! I just thought it might work since you were all saying that they'll only make more if the demand is high. And since there is so many of us here on the forum, imagine what they'll think if we all wrote to them! Besides, 5 and 6 are so popular, sales would go through the roof if figures of them ever came out.

Well played; at this point I'm willing to try anything for those other figures. Thanks for the link CrispyGlover.

Your welcome!
Dude, I would scream of joy twenty times if they came out with a 2 figure. I'm on a little 2 obsession right now. :3

Yeah, there probably won't be other figures. Usually on a movie like 9, Once it's had it's "15 minutes" they don't hesitate to move on to a bigger movie's merch. EX: Alice in Wonderland or Twishit.
Which is a real shame, Because they'd get quite a considerable amount of money from the fans the movie does have.
