It's great that they're making this available to the general public after all.  [ghost_smiley]

This is certainly good news. I was just confused because they originally said it was going to be a limited edition but it seems the company will be producing more than just 500 units.

Though they do have the disclaimer: "Can't make it to Comic-Con?  Order now for shipment after the convention (while supplies last)." I took that to mean that even if you order one online, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that you'll receive one. But it would be great (at least for DS fans in general) if Spectre is making more than they'd originally intended (though collectors who'd prefer a greatly limited amount to increase the value of their own figure might not be happy if Spectre does  [ghost_wink]).

It seems from this interview in the last paragraph the company will make over 500 if need be but who knows for sure. I will order it soon and hopefully it will still be available.

The comment that they don't want their figures to be impossible to get is reassuring.  [ghost_smiley]

It certainly is. I guess one could ask this question? When is a limited edition not an limited edition? Collectors need to know the size of a limited edition for the reasons you mentioned above. And how then will the company differentiate the 500 limited SDCC figures from the extra production? It's a little bit confusing especially if they are not individually numbered. Either way I plan on getting one, or two.

It's the same image that's on EntertainmentEarth's order page.

From the EE site:

"Now you can celebrate the classic supernatural series with this incredibly detailed 8-inch tall Werewolf action figure, based on the character portrayed by actor Chris Jennings."

Chris Jennings was my favorite actor on the show!   [ghost_cheesy]

Mybad, I've only visited the Spectre site for info/pictures so I was unaware.
