Hi Alex,

Any anticipated delays for the Man of Steel PF or is he still scheduled to ship next month?

Sometimes additions to items aren't possible and other times they are. If an item is too far along in the process adding in a newly sculpted feature or paint change may not be possible due to time constraints/already locked in product details.

And since you're asking my opinion on adding features versus not adding features...in my opinion (not Sideshow's...just my opinion)...the lack of a star on Captain America's back or lack of Iron Patriot's deployed arm weapon doesn't detract from these pieces at all. I've seen both in person and both looks very nice to me and to not have them added doesn't seem wrong at all. When I look at them I see Captain America and Iron Patriot in really cool action poses, great costumes, and accessories.

Should anything change with these products, we would let customers know of course but as of right now it's my understanding no changes are planned.

I do believe it will include sixth scale figures in the future!

It looks more and more like a project that may not be possible to bring to the masses. Far too big and intricate.

I haven't heard of any as I type this.

SSAlex, are you going to be at SDCC?

[BurningRage]

Will there be a month long online comic con event like last year?

Hello Alex,

Can you tell us how tall will the Sentinel Maquette will be? The Galactis Maquette stands over 33". Will the Sentinel be taller?

Thanks Alex. I remember the star on the back of the Cap was brought up long time ago so not sure why Sideshow was reluctant to add that... Well it is what it is and I do appreciate you coming up here trying to ease the pain

There will be a month long event but most new teases/announcements and any Pre-Orders should be up by the time Preview night hits on July 23rd.

I don't know the exact measurements of the piece but I saw it in person yesterday and it looks to be about the same height as Galactus...maaaaybe a smidge taller or shorter. It's hard for me to tell for sure without them being side by side.

It's far too early at this point to showcase anything from those two licenses right now as there are no finished prototypes.

What's going on at the ports ? Why the Sups are stuck there ?
