Designer: No KISS 'Destroyer' Figures In The Works

September 13, 2004

KISS designer Christopher Franchi of Metaluna5 has contacted BLABBERMOUTH.NET to set the record straight with regards to the report that McFarlane Toys are planning to release a seventh series of KISS figures. The original report, which was published last week, indicated that the "Destroyer" figures would be posed as they were on the 1976 album cover. In addition, a tentative pre-Christmas release date was mentioned.

Says Franchi: "This story is bogus. I should know, I am the subject of the article that featured designs for potential KISS Destroyer figures, and let the magazine KISS Kollector publish the photos of the figures that will never see the light of day.

"The images were featured in an interview with myself, about my work for KISS, and more so to show some rare stuff that fans have never seen. Those package designs were featured in print and someone somewhere didn't read the caption and ran with the rumor.

"Simply not true, however, let's see if rumor has an power of suggestion, and McFarlane DOES make them."
