At Toyfair 2006, First4Figures announced the "Baroness and Ravage" statue to much anticipation. Since then, however, the company has been mum on any details of this surprisingly absent statue. However, thanks to "Rquiem," we now have an update.

The reason for is the lack of retailer support, according to the provided e-mail correspondence. The status is now slated for a first quarter 2008 release and will receive minor modifications including Ravage's pose to show more struggle with the Baroness.

The following is the full e-mail that was provided by "Rquiem":

Why is it taking so long?

First4Figures: It was a lack of retailer support. However, we have never actually put up the baroness and ravage model on our site at all. The images that are on the internet are actually were not authorized by us, but the retailers put it up anyways. There still hasn't been a strong demand for this, but like you, we want to see this go to production.

Are the pictures we saw on the net still deadon? Has the figure been changed from its first appearance? updated, downgraded?

Will be similar, though we intend to change ravage's pose slightly to give a more pulling on his chain pose.

When should we expect to welcome the statue home? Doesn’t have to be exact day and time, however if it can see a Christmas release would be great!
