Snake Mountain ain't happenin'... bub!

So has spoken The Guru... But for those who are unable to read Matty posts, here's his message:

Here is the deal. While the castle was
A big success, it essentially doubled the workload for everyone involved from the Horsemen to me to the vendors. It was literally a full years worth of work. No one's salary was doubled and we didn't make double the annual revenue. We are all literally recovering from this. It was exhausting. Imagine whatever you do for a living and imagine doing your workload twice. Not exactly something we can so year on year.
That being said, we are so glad we did it. It was a work of passion, the fans proved they would support it, and it went off without a hitch (give or take needing to update an address twice for some, and again sorry for this!).
At the end of the day, it is unlikely another Epic Creations sku will happen. Although as I have always said, things in the toy industry change all the time. I thought it would take a movie year for the castle and we did it without.

Anything could happen, but to manage expectations there are no plans for more playsets, big or small right now.
Castles and Windraiders are available. Both are one heck of a toy!

I Kinda understand why it isn't happening... Believe me, I'm mildly annoyed that we're NOT getting a Snake Mountain, but in all fairness; Snake Mountain is harder to do than Grayskull.

There's 5 versions for Mattel to choose from. 4 of them are pictured here. The fifth is from the little Icon Heroes Statue. That one is like a Hybrid of Filmation and the Vintage toy.

It really is a shame that Snake Mountain isn't happening.
30+ Years and we only have 1 Snake Mountain while we're on our THIRD Castle Grayskull and that sucks!

So, since Snake Mountain isn't happening, I wish we could at Least get a small scale Diorama out of the deal...

What could we use as a Small Scale Diorama from Snake Mountain?

The Bone throne and Scrying Table, of course! I mean there's nothing else that you could make a Small Diorama out of. Also, Skeletor is able to sit... Unlike his brother and Sister in Law who are Royalty unable to sit down.

Sadly, I don't see this happening either, because Mattel will cite the quote above and the whole "Grayskull weapons rack did not sell out when its Customer Service Stock was put on sale with the castle" excuse.
 I really hope that small scale dioramas are not out of the picture, because that way we can have cooler displays. I mean, they could throw in a Filmation Havoc staff with the Throne and Table Diorama. that way if the ban on Snake Mountain is lifted, then it's one thing less to do for it!
