Sorry but I don't know. There are a couple of characters you mention above that I know many around here would love to tackle as future collectibles. So fingers crossed for the future!

Thanks for passing this along. You can now find a full list of product types to search by going to the 'Shop' button on mobile and scrolling down (you'll find all types listed).

Also here are direct links to the Premium Format Figure and Sixth Scale Figure pages if you wanted to bookmark them for future use (since you brought those two up specifically).

Premium Format Figures

Sixth Scale Figures

Hope that helps in the meantime! :-)

Will Sideshow address the look of the new K2SO PF eyes? More in depth, when its light up eyes are off K2 looks deactivated. Lots of us don't turn on the light ups while displayed. Any chance of color added to the eyes? Also, when can we expect to pre order Princess Leia PF? Thank you VERY much for ALWAYS answering questions!

This has been in the process of being explored for K-2SO for a little while now. Customers will be updated if such a change ends up occurring on the piece.

Princess Leia PF MIGHT be up for Pre-Order at the very end of this year but seeing as it's almost October and a final prototype is not done I'm estimating more of a 1st Qtr 2018 Pre-Order time frame at the earliest at this point.

There are some new items for NYCC. Y'all already saw a few...Aspen and the Mark Brooks Spider-Verse line. There are some more planned as well for next week. :-)

For now it's just The Joker and Batman BUT that could change.

Today the Sideshow Facebook page asked what do androids dream of?

Do you have the Blade Runner license and are making a figure or figures?

Sideshow does not have the license to make Blade Runner collectibles but we'd so love to make some in the future. Hopefully it will come to pass at some point.

Sorry I don't have any hints but the next one COULD be announced next week!

Thanks

The Stormtrooper is still currently on track to release anytime between November 2017 - January 2018.

With a new Terminator in the works, does that mean Sideshow will create a Sarah Conner statue and possibly another Arnold.

We don't have the license to produce Halloween collectibles, so no Michael Myers or Laurie collectibles are in the works from Sideshow at this time.

New Terminator collectibles are in the pipeline but I do not know the type or character of what those are right now. Sorry.

Two questions regarding new X-Men line:
1. Will Magneto with tweaks be ready for NYCC?
2. Will Wolverine be painted at NYCC?

Magneto unfortunately didn't get done in time, so that one will not be at the show.

Wolverine did get fully done in time and will be at NYCC next week. :-)

This has been passed along. Might be a little difficult as he's in a different country but if he ever visits the office we'd love to have him join in on an episode of Sideshow Live (if he wanted to of course).

In another thread, Igo said Daniel Bel smells like flowers.

Is it true? What flowers exactly?

Thanks in advance!

Only Dave would know as I've not actually met Daniel Bel in person.

What was the change on the BvS Wonder Woman that SSC recently posted in the blog? It looks like either the head sculpt was changed or the paint on the head sculpt changed. Thanks.

Her portrait has had some changes to the sculpt and paint done.

There won't be any Prime 1 pieces at the Sideshow booth at NYCC next week. It will be Sideshow, Hot Toys and Tweeterhead pieces on display though.

Question about Darth Vader Legendary scale:

Does this carry a power adapter through the base, for the lighting of the chest and the belt?

Thanks!

The Darth Vader Legendary Scale Figure will be powered by batteries in the chest and belt for its light-up features.

Second
Can the baby Groot maquette stand with no problem if you exclude the base?

And one more.
It was said that you guys would do a Phoenix green version of the Dark Phoenix Pf. Is that dead in the water as of now?

Thank you as always your responses are appreciated. Have an awesome day.

Any edition size information for Iron Studios pieces will be directly sent from them to us. If we ever get such info from them we would update the site accordingly. :-)

More than likely the Groot Maquette will have at least one (more than likely two) keys or pegs in it's feet to attach to the base, so the ability to have it stand on it's own wouldn't be possible.

I know a Green Phoenix was back on the table. If it does happen it would more than likely happen once the Dark version was sold out though.

We don't have the license but gosh I'd still love a Tim Curry version of Pennywise one day (I know other's would love the new movie version too)!

An array of licenses will be represented in the book.

Hopefully in October. The character would be a male.

I know more Predator items are coming but I don't know what type or characters those items are.

Alex will there be new Hot Toys prototypes at NYCC or is it the same shown at SDCC?

Are there plans for a blue/gray costume variant of the Batman legendary scale figure?

Hello Alex !

Is the new Aspen PF a one shot or does Sideshow own the Aspen license and will produce other PF following her, like Kiani or Soulfire Grace ?

Thank you for your time and have a great comic-con.

Good question! I would love to see Kiani and Grace done by the same sculptor.

[Frayhor]

Hi, it's me again. Sorry I forgot one question

Regarding the Mark Brooks Spiderverse Collection, are you able to tell us if there will be more statues in this line in addition to the 3 already announced ?

Thank you again and sorry for my english

[Vince]

Any plans for a Lizard or / and Dr. Octopus PF ?

[lewisnfro86]

Hi Alex,

What are the chances that we'll see a Jubilee, Professor X, or Beast Premium format (90s era) to follow the X-men PF line?

Thank you!
