When I thought about the potential line, I came to the conclusion that many of the team cartoons would be better as figures not statues. Unless they are iconic like the turtles. Also let's face it, He-Man from PCS is proving to sell. The Thundercats line from PCS didn't sell that well and it was modernized. I don't see Sideshow trying Thundercats and making cartoon versions. They seem to like to put their spin on things. And if Thundercats didn't go well you know Silverhawks would be even worse. So what else could Sideshow have in mind?

Shows like Voltron, Galaxy Rangers, and others have groups with similar costumes. If you make one costume you basically have the others with slight length alterations and details. It would be easier as figures. But remember Sideshow made a Baroness 1/6 figure with I believe a new body yet couldn't release Scarlett. We still don't why but Scarlett should have been easy to make and a top seller. I don't see people paying close to $200 for Voltron, Galaxy Rangers, Bionic Six, Gatchaman, or other similar team figures. Saber Rider would be awesome but that's a little known show I think. I would like to see all these myself but I only see them happening as PVC statues from Japanese companies. A show like Jem, I don't think Sideshow has ever made a character almost primarily for a female audience.

Also these shows with transforming elements, does any one really want a non transforming Voltron and random beast? Same goes for MASK or Robotech, non transforming cars or a veritech and a battle pod or Zentradi? And there are tons of options for Transformers out. I just think static versions of transforming toys just wouldn't be that popular. But I don't know how well those statues of the new Transformers are selling.

I think Sideshow will choose Dungeons and Dragons or something more classic like a Space Ghost or maybe Jonny Quest.

Freaking loved that cartoon as a kid, watched it every Saturday morning.

It had one of the catchiest theme songs too:

true, threw it in just because. Yeah I have fond memories of the toy light gun ship.

It would be awesome if Sideshow could just make Captain Power as a statue. But then they haven't been great on the metal finish with a lot of Iron Man statues. So I would go with Hot Toys for that. And Hot Toys would probably find a way to make the whole team. But still at $200 per figure, it won't be a top seller.

Absolutely, without a doubt, 100% factually yes! I have absolute zero doubt about that if done like I said. The reason being is most Transformers look coolest in their robot modes.

That is not to take away from their transformed modes, but Optimus? You are going to have a statue of him in truck mode???? Makes no sense Rep. Bumblebee in VW mode??? Uhhhh no!!!! A big fat no!!

Fact of the matter is, when people get the toys, sure they can pose them and transform them in and out of different modes, but the joints get loose and are prone to breakage. Most if not everyone has Transformers on their display in their robot modes. The only exceptions to this might be the Dinobots (look great in any mode and maybe the Predacons).

Many statue collectors don't want Toys...they want a static aesthetic and cool reminder of the characters they grew up loving as a kid.
