Amazon is still showing a release date of March 18th. Has anyone heard if this is going to still be released or not?

| | If they make it, I will buy it for sure. I saw it at GenCon last year, and it looked totally awesome. Even if the production version is not as nice, it will still be worth it. | |

| | I won't get one if they make it. I am actually going to stop collecting every mini from each set. As I don't want any devils/demons, I will be trading/selling the ones I have. And I certainly don't want an icon devil/demon, even if it's made with high quality. | |

| It's still in my amazon pre-order listing. But I thought it was officially stated that it wouldn't be released? Wasn't it just being shown off at a convention and they weren't actually going to sell it since there didn't seem to be much interest in it?
I still want it. Out of all of the Icons, that was the only one that I saw and though, "Dang, I gotta get that thing!"
Even if we never use it, it's still awesome looking. Much better looking than any of the dragons we've had.

The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin!
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn...
A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.
He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!

I think it's interesting how polarizing this Icon is.
I noticed that too. I have a couple of friends that are big fans of devils and demons, and they would get it for sure. I'm neither here nor there on Orcus, but I was impressed with the prototype at GenCon. I'm basing my decision on the look of the mini - if we can call it a mini. | |

Indeed interesting, I'm in the group of disliking it.
Not for the choice of mini (a gargantuan demon lord, very cool), I don't like the execution. In my mind Orcus simply looks different: More like the Archfiends mini, less like the artwork in the miniatures handbook.
And other Demon lords would make better Icons imho: Dagon, Graz'zt, Juiblex, Malcanteth, Yeenoghu, Zuggtmoy, to name a few.

I prefer my beer belly one from Archfiends. I just don't see any use for a gargantuan size demon/devil thing. | |

And for the record, I much prefer the pot bellied Orcus. | |

As a DM, I think I do like it. It's very deceptive and dragons are very smart. What better way to decieve those pesky PCs than to make them think he's mentally disabled?

| The funny thing is that no one seems to have bothered letting Amazon know one way or the other if this is getting released
I've heard that it was put on hold indefinately due to a lack of interest from the buying public. Yet I just received an email from Amazon yesterday letting me know that it is soon to be released and that I should hurry and take advantage of the low pre-order pricing. -lol | |
