The Horsemen have insisted that all the Figura Obscura figures so far being holiday-related has been a coincidence, and now they're proving it:
Are you ready for Figura Obscura's return? Then head over to StoreHorsemen.com tomorrow at 9am EST (or also at 8pm EST) and prepare for an adventure like you've never seen before - ONLY from Four Horsemen Studios.
Even the teaser image of rolled-up maps didn't let anyone guess this figure was going to be Journey to the West's Monkey King!
It's made from Mythic Legions parts, with a plenty of new bits to capture the classic look, and as of this posting, it's not sold out yet (though the "all in" bundle with the pin and metal water bottle is). If it does go before you get a chance to place your order, there will be a second drop tonight at 8pm EST. This isn't a preorder; the figure is ready to ship very soon, so get the figure for your display now!
They explicitly state the figure won’t ship until the end of June. And the morning allocation is now sold out.
I do believe that speaks to the popularity or fan engagement, eh?
Hm. Wonder if the Four Horsemen's stuff has gotten to the point scalpers go after them?
They limited these to 2 per person per drop. I’m sure some scalpers got around the limit with multiple accounts. But the morning drop lasted a few hours so there was plenty of time to get them. And the afternoon drop just happened so more chances if you missed out.
