It was said way back officially that it was due to "Unforeseen Quality Issues";

You can see over flow of industrial glue in the unboxing video as well as the paint being super flat with no detail... and the base is super plain and not even the light detail it had in pictures. My guess is the thought people would be upset with the quality issues enough so that they cancelled it (though that caused just as much if not more issues with the fans like us but who knows, truthfully I like the idea of getting it now cheaper and rarer
).
Also on a side note... they made a life sized one!!!
