New Power Lords Not Moving Forward

Posted on October 7, 2017 at 9:22 am by Tony_Bacala under General Toy News

The Four Horsemen relayed via email that the new Power Lords line will not be moving forward.  They put all the items up for pre-order, and even added in some troop builders, but the numbers just weren’t there.  They only hit about 2/3rds of what they would have needed to proceed.  All of us who did place pre-orders had them cancelled and the holds on cards have been released.   We are saddened to hear this but that’s business.  Hopefully some of these great sculpts can work their way out later on in some other way.  You can read their full statement below.

Well we tried, and we want to thank everyone who pre-ordered, supported, and helped to spread the word for the Power Lords pre-order, but unfortunately, we just weren’t able to reach the milestone we needed to reach in order to be able to move forward with production. We were able to get about 2/3 of the way to where we needed to be, but even with support from outside resources, that still wasn’t quite enough to do the trick.

So, as much as we hate to say it, the Power Lords pre-orders through Store Horsemen are all being cancelled right now, the authorizations for the credit cards that were used are being cancelled, and those of you who placed pre-orders should be getting some sort of notice about that very soon.

We’re sincerely sorry that we couldn’t make this happen. Power Lords has been a passion of ours since childhood, but the numbers just aren’t there at the moment. We were able to gain some data from this experiment that will help us in some of our future sales and pre-orders, so it’s not completely a wash on our end. Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who tried hard to make this happen, but it just wasn’t a possibility this time around.

For now at least, Adam Power and the rest of the Power Lords are going to leave our solar system and go off on some top secret missions beyond the stars. Wish them luck!

-FOUR HORSEMEN-

    They waited how many years now in between waves? Way to work with the fan base Horsemen. I have to say I am supremely unimpressed with these guys. They charged for a "club" membership to get discounts and "early access" to buy the figures and then disappeared for over 3 years. They "Returned" these in 2013. I hope it implodes because these guys were uncommunicative dicks about the line making statements every 12-15 months about it coming soon.

    I wonder if they will re-release the first two waves again, I missed out on some of them and would love a second crack at them.

    I've been sitting on my figures trying to decide if I should just sell them all because the 4H abandoned the line. Now I'm back to wait and see.

    This isn't the first time they've promised big things and then not delivered.

    Yeah, kinda miffed about this (as a consumer.) That is a heavy waiting period to get some key figures. I know I was excited to see what they were going to do with Arkus and ended up being surprised and disappointed that he was never made, It seemed like a key figure to have in the opening lineup.

    On top of that, making limited runs and not refreshing the stock made sure I was never able to get what I wanted and I suspect I'm not the only one with that problem. I'll keep an eye on what they do but if they stick with the business model they are currently using I doubt I could support it.

    I don't remember this line? did they have a cartoon?

  8. deecee4's Avatar deecee4 says

    07-07-2017, 07:12 PM

    No cartoon show but there were comics and a video game.
    Was hoping the announcement was going to be that they're scaling them up to 6 inches.

    For those who are unfamiliar with the line I found an article with a good list of the products, including prototypes that were never made...

    Power Lords were cool back in the day, but from reading these comments, this sounds like a line/company that I have no interest in supporting. Treat your customers like shit and it'll come back to bite you on the ass, guys.

    Hope they can tool up a new Adam Power/Lord Power to take advantage the added articulation. I love the "power" (heh) armour but I'd like to see improved versions of the original two figures as well.

    Also, just for fun, Power Lords fan art:

    I've never heard of these and the designs don't really do anything for me. I wish I liked them better because I want to support 4". I'm afraid this will fail and put 4H off of 4" scale in the future.

    Got my pre-orders in for the Troopers. As much as I appreciate the nostalgia for 80s Power Lords and the work they've done on the aliens, I just can't get into em full on. So troopers only here.

    I know it's damned if you do, but I would really love all these in 6 inch scale. Those 2 ups look amazing in person.

    My Power Lords Club number doesn't work in the coupon code area and I can't seem to get anyone from the Four Horsemen to respond to this issue. Anyone else having this issue?

    The Light Guardian looks like a Combine Overwatch Elite.

    As a 4 inch figure collector - the space themed/suited heroes & villians in this Power Lords hase me VERY interested in pre-ordering at least 3 of them. But reading about peoples past experiences, I will likely hold off and wait ! As for companies which promised but never delivered - been there, done that, got the T-shirt and snowglobe! The best launches I was happy to be part of were the "Marauder Task Force" (Marauder Gun Runners) & also "Boss Fight Studio" Kickstarts - they show preliminary designs, then prototypes. The delivery dates did move a bit but they had my confidence & both groups delivered a beautiful series of figures. I highly recommend people jumping on the current 'Marauder Gun Runners' Kickstart which includes more 4 inch scale figures eg: K9 Dog Unit plus an EXO-SKELETON (POWER-SUIT) that fits their 4 inch MTF figures (their Kickstart closes end Sept 2017)!

    Marauder is awesome. They're totally transparent with their backers/customers, they always deliver the goods (which are always super high-quality), and their customer service is simply the best. There's no company I can think of that's more worthy of your support.

    I kinda want these to complete my collection, but asking me for so much cash at once in an "all or nothing" venture is little too much. I don't like being hard sold.

    I had the same problem.
    Are you using the number on your member card or the one emailed to members?
    I used the emailed number initially because that's what I'd used on every previous order, but apparently the card number is what is needed. Worked fine with the card number.

    I believed I tried both. I'll give it one more try. But honestly, after not getting any response regarding my several emails to them about this, its really turned me off about giving them my money. Thanks for your help.
