I’ve seen a lot of fandom speculation about the fate of the much talked about SK Omega line from Molten Monkey International…well, courtesy of Gyre-Viper at HissTank.com, the SK Omega folks have revealed that unfortunately they will not be in attendance at Toy Fair this year.
HOWEVER… and it’s a big however… that does not mean production has slowed, stopped, or that anything is getting in their way. Quite the opposite! Instead of relying on industry events, they are planning to push up the launch of their website and start featuring product images ASAP. This is nothing but good news!
Check out the full text of Gyre Viper’s update below:
Due to some rather untimely scheduling conflicts, SK Omega will not be attending Toy Fare as originally planned. HOWEVER, this has given them cause to punch their website into full gear, sooner than later, AND has ignited the possible approach… where they have now considered, revealing new product outside of and in between industry and fan conventions on their website. That’s not to say they won’t be attending said events, just that they do not necessarily want to rely on said events to put forth what they are working on for future release. So while it is unfortunate that they will not be at Toy Fare this year, they are trying very hard to have the site up and running in full capacity BEFORE Toy Fare in a couple weeks. The site WILL feature 3D product images.
I repeat… the site WILL feature 3D product images.
So let’s recap:
-SKO will not be at Toy Fare
-The website will be up and running (hopefully sooner than later)
-The website will feature 3D product images
-SKO is not canceled

Very cool. I’m looking forward to seeing more on this line. Thanks for the news, Justin and Gyre!
To be clear (because apparently I wasn’t according to hisstank members)… the on-line reveals will be either prototypes or finished product. That is what I meant by 3D.
@Gary – you mean I won’t need 3d glasses? 😉

Not your fault, hisstank members tend to be idiots.
Outstanding!!!
