People on the page are questioning (quite rightly) how a small poll of a closed niche group could possibly determine demand for a product like this. It does seem very odd.
According to the comments on the page, it seems the largest fanbase on First 4 Figures are Zelda fans, who seem to be voting 'No' to anything not Zelda-related. Apparently what F4F makes seems to be some kind of collector community decision, and the majority would rather the company's time be spent making more Zelda merch instead of something new.
If OWI want to make a statue, another Kickstarter would no doubt be a huge success, given the popularity Abe's Origins and ESCtoy campaigns.

The part about F4F FB members voting "No" on non-Zelda polls is true. Zelda fans are easily the most vocal and active in the group. Kind of sad, me being one of those Zelda fans, but still seeing alot of other franchises that could use the spotlight for awhile.
We all know that recent Kickstarter for the Oddworld: Abe's Origins Artbook has been very successful and that the demand for Oddworld merch is big in reality.
Gathering from this, I do think that it should be an attractive choice for most statue companies to aquire the Oddworld license.
The demographic of the
active voting members of the F4F Collectors Group might be niche and most probably not representable of what the demand would be if F4F or any other statue company for that matter, launched a statue line based on the Oddworld license.
This is also why I see it fit to try and spread this information to you fans as an opportunity that
could result in something positive.
