Also, I saw that the Iron Studios Black Panther 1/10 scale diorama is being carried by you guys. Is this an indicator that you guys will be carrying all their products regardless of scale? If not, what determines if you'll carry certain 1/10 or 1/6 products but not others?? (Batman v Bane, but not Superman v Doomsday; Black Panther diorama, but not Thor Ragnarok v Hulk or Spiderman dioramas, etc)
|
The next VS piece COULD be unveiled in the next several months. *fingers crossed*
As for Iron Studios 1/10 scale items, we will carry what we're able to carry. Some items have region restrictions due to their license, so not everything is available for Sideshow to distribute at this time.

How do you think Sideshow will deal with the nudity of a statue that they'll probably sell on the website? At the recent Wonderfest convention in Japan, Prime1 revealed a popular character from the Berserk franchise who was very well received by fans (Slan). But it's a female character whose design is based on being topless and completely bottomless (she has a mid riff vest on, and that's it).
I was just wondering, since this is a character from a line of statues SS sells on the website, will photographs of her be blurred or maybe even given a black censor box? Or would SS take their own photos that specifically angled all the nudity out? At the convention, Prime1 put single black feathers on her chest and crotch areas. But those feathers were noted as not being a part of the statue's accessories, and were only put there to hide the (frontal) nudity from the underage convention onlookers (her bare rear was still on full display).
Would SS just re-use any official display photo's Prime1 supplied them? Would SS edit said display photo's if they had nudity? Or would SS simply take their own photo's for their own website?
Just curious =)
Thanks!

Looks like this answer was basically answered with the recent release of this item on Pre-Order. We used to the photos that Prime 1 Studio provided us for our website, emails, etc.

I'm not in the know for this line as to whether there are more pieces coming or not. Sorry.

thats where a lot of people are unfortunately, is there any chance lion-o will be reworked for the sake of keeping people interested and saving the line?
|
Lion-O will not be getting any changes.

There might be one new Court piece to unveil during SDCC this year but it is neither a demon or angel character.

Is this line dead? Will you ever continue the Legendary Bust Line for Marvel. More specifically X-Men?
There are so many characters I think could be great additions to this line. Maybe make limited runs, no exclusive. Please pass this on if you can. These are so cool in my opinion. It would be sad if we don’t ever see some of my favorites in this form. Nightcrawler, Mr.Sinister, Juggernaut. Think about how cool that would be. I’d be very happy. Thanks a lot for reading.
Also when will we get an edition size for the magneto maquette?
Lastly can we get an estimate for Wolverine Lifesize bust?!
|
There are currently no plans for more Legendary Scale Busts for Marvel at this time but that could always change in the future!
More than likely you've seen that Magneto has a 1250 edition size for the Exclusive.
The Wolverine Life-Size Bust should have it's grand unveiling during our online SDCC event. That event begins on July 1st!

The collectors can easily hang the strap across the body and the hair can help keep the sword and shield in place based on the prototype pictures that I've seen.
Giving collectors the option to display the statue with or without the sword and shield will be a great bonus that will make a lot of collectors very happy including myself. Mr. Harbottle's sculpt of the back muscles looked so nice on Sideshow's Instagram page that I do not want to cover it up when I display the statue. Remember, happy customers = more sales for Sideshow.  |
That's been passed along. Unfortunately with this item already in production the likely hood of such a change it mighty slim as the items is already engineered.

Thanks!
|
A 1/4 Jabba would be HUGE! Though I can't say it would never happen, there is a very small chance it would at that size.
I know I'd love to see some Ewoks and Bounty Hunters get some PF love in the future! I don't know that they will but I'd love to see it!

Like my comment about Ewoks and Bounty hunters above, I'd also love it if Sideshow could revisit mythos statues again. Perhaps one day darnit!
Currently focus is on classic cannon at this point in time for the larger scale items.

Thank you so much.

The final breakdown of materials for Jabba is not 100% locked in as it's still in the earlier stages of production. The only info I have regarding the piece at this time is that it will be mixture of various materials that are TBD. I'll have a much more locked in material list from our production team in a few months.

That tendril is a more supportive part of the piece.

Unfortunately I'm not privy to information outside of the retail side of Sideshow, so I do not know why orders for any items would be cancelled and such. Sorry.

What's your reaction about this new project lead by Hot Toys?

Hot Toy's Obi-Wan Kenobi is fantastic! Myself and all at Sideshow love Hot Toys' pieces!
I wouldn't assume that there's a hate for the prequels here at Sideshow as you've probably seen that quite a few prequel characters have been made in the past (Darth Maul, Asajj Ventress, Grievous, Anakin, etc.). In the end there's just so much bandwidth to focus on each license. A prequel Obi-Wan isn't out of the question for the future even if it's not in the planning currently.

Old Han Solo and Luke Skywalker statues seem like sure-fire best-sellers. Is Sideshow still planning to continue the Star Wars PF series?
|
The focus is on classic canon at this point in time, so I wouldn't say the PF line isn't continuing as it most certainly is!

B. the MOTU license where there are additional characters in the works and/or planned beyond what has already been teased/revealed?
thanks!

Cheetara is currently the only other piece planned as of today. That could always change of course. New unannounced items are added (some unannounced taken away from time to time too) frequently into planning of product line up.

There are no new Rogue One items currently in planning. And sorry for sounding like a skipping record (as I know y'all see me saying this in answers to other questions) but that doesn't mean that won't change. The future is not set in stone.

Decided to give this ago the other night. In some ways I came away far more impressed than I’d anticipated. From start to finish the movie is green screen CGI overload.

Sergeant Laureline (Cara Delevingne) would be a sell-out. Major Valerian (Dane DeHaan) would make for the ideal companion piece. There’s many other interesting looking characters also.
Story 4/10
Effects 10/10

Nice review! I still have to finish this movie myself. I only got about half way through it thus far.

This has been talked about and is on a long list of things we'd like to implement in the future. There is a lot of items before a wish list feature though, so it could be quite a while before something like that appeared on the site.

Angela EX sold out?
Angela CE low stock
Captain Marvel sold out?
Gamora sold out?
Groot EX sold out
Groot CE low stock
Rocket still available
Thanos screw it

I still have no news on Star-Lord and Drax and whether they will be products in the future sorry to say.

It's possible it could be a product in the future but as of now it is a piece that was simply for show at past conventions.

Bossk is my favourite bounty hunter, visually at least, in the Star Wars universe.
Boba Fett steals much of the lime-light when it comes to statue form bounty hunters.
For the moment i make do with the 10cm Bossk from Kenner

Please see my answer above to a similar question that was asked regarding bounty hunters. :-)

No Doctor Doom that I'm aware of is being planned but that could change given the popularity of this character!

Sideshow's focus for DC is more comic based for the most part, so there is no Superman from BvS or Justice League in the works currently.

The Rebel Terminator is the only piece of its kind happening for its license. As for more mythos type items from other licenses in the future...always possible for sure!
