Hello Alex,

Do you know when Rey and BB8 will be on pre order and do you have any clue about their exclusives ?


Thank you for taking your time to answer our questions.

There's a few I'd like to see, specifically, even though I know you can't give specifics, would be The Flash, Catwoman, a New Joker and Pinhead.

Thanks!

It's very slim that there will be any Horror related Life-Size Busts in the future but who knows.

As for DC, sorry but I haven't heard any news.

There's been no talk regarding acquiring the Dragon Ball Z license. I believe other companies do have it though, so hopefully you'll start seeing more representation on the collectible market in the future!

We are not making any 'The Hobbit' collectibles. WETA has put out and continues to put out collectibles from the films though and doing a fantastic job with their item IMO.

Bane will either be up in late 2016 or early 2017 for Pre-Order.

Venom and Carnage - Carnage should be before the end of the year and Venom either before the end or early next year.

Sadly, there just wasn't room to bring many items, including the Predator Maquette.

Venom will have a switch out head while Carnage will have a switch out hand option.

When will Death from COTD be available? I am lookiing forward to preordering it.

That piece is currently being made available through the Court of the Dead: Underworld Rising kickstarter. Once that is over, when he'll slot in for non-kickstarted solicitation will be decided.

Thank you for taking your time to answer our questions.

They should both be up for Pre-Order before the close of this year (MAYYYBEEEEE November...but that's a big maybe).

Is the Catwoman lsf cancelled? Will the Flash 1/6 figure go up for order this year or next?

[jokecool]

Hi Alex,

I've been told by a very reliable source that a Danger Girl statue (maybe PF), and some Fairy Tales figures are coming soon. Is that information accurate?

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

Im a little concerned with the sewage hanging off of Donatello's base, and it looking like a possible breakage point if it were made out of polystone. Might be a good idea to use more of a durable material like vinyl or pvc. Can you confirm they'll be using something other than polystone for that area?

Thanks!

Both of these projects are on an indefinite hold pattern and I do not know when they will be taken off hold at this time. Sorry.

Sorry but I don't have any news on such projects being in the pipeline or not.

That portion of the sewage would be made out of a more pliable material for the final production pieces to prevent breakage. Polystone would be far too fragile to use.

The harmonized code was changed based on feedback from customers and after having meetings with our shipping company reps about the code. If you have further questions about the code change and/or shipping please do contact our customer service team directly by:

Email: support@sideshow.com
Phone: 1-805-214-2100
Live Chat: Available Monday - Friday from 8:30AM - 4:30PM (PST)

I don't work directly in customer service, so I won't be able to assist beyond confirming that the code was indeed changed. They can help with other questions regarding invoices sent to custom offices, etc.

We haven't heard that it's a cancelled project from Hot Toys. For now we consider it a future product until we're told otherwise from Hot Toys directly.

Hopefully before the end of the year.

That's good news. Thanks for the answer, Alex.
