This character has not yet been revealed on the show, which may explain why the pre-order is now gone.

While Kapow does not list a specific series for these toys, another UK retailer Toyz and Gamez lists the figures under the Generations line. The figures are set for a May 2012 release, according to Kapow, ahead of the Fall of 2012 release date for the video game. We do not have images of the figures just yet, but we are expecting some first looks at the figures at Toy Fair 2012, where we will be reporting live on February 11th!
