I'm surprised they even did Swampthing, it's not like he's all that popular either.

If you look at comic characters that have a large following and even might have the public eye due to other media. The Flash is the most obvious omission.

As far as Deathstroke goes, I'd bet even money you see him again in a 2-3 years.

Shazam! Is tough because he’s been around for over 70 years and still has a presence today. Nightwing is less popular than Flash, but still a glaring omission due to him still being a very popular character. It just sucks because a lot less popular characters get their dues like Swamp Thing, though they screwed it up I’m still glad he got some attention. They just redo a bunch of characters I’m not interested in or don’t need multiple statues of.

I think Swamp Thing was picked because the character design visually appealing to non comic readers which is most collectors.

The problem for me is it doesn’t look like they’re going back to classic costumes for 1/4 scale.

Maybe they’ll announce the Joker and Harley from the DC animated series collection.

So far I'm interested in the Domino PF and in the Hulk Maquette.

I understand really well that Sideshow reboots its releases for new collectors with sure hits that most want a statue of in their collection (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman...). Moreover, while many collectors on these forum ask for the Penguin, Scarecrow..., I'm not sure how well it would sell as it still seems like kind of a niche market (People that want a complete collection of Batman characters are far less than the ones that just want a Batman...).

The only point that I really cannot get and that has been driving me crazy for years is the Flash. The character is highly asked for, has his own TV show, was in the Justice League movie and was well received.

I'm to the point that if they ever release one, I will directly order it. Barry Allen/Wally West exclusive portrait ? I'll buy two. Reverse Flash variant ? I'll buy three. Black Flash variant ? Oh, give me a fourth one. I'm to the point that I wouldn't even care if the sculpt was the same on all of these characters.

I'm so desperate for a Flash that I might bite for the Prime 1 Studio one that I don't even really like.

Yeah I noticed that too.

XM Flash looks amazing, but will be expensive (s/h).

I’ll tell you what isn’t a good sign, when Prime 1s Flash has an edition size of 500 and has been up for pre order for around a year and a half and still hasnt sold out. Most pieces don’t sell out anymore until after they are released but this is a very low edition size so Sideshow is probably figuring that he isn’t in that much of a demand

Also to stay on topic, I’m officially 0-9. I haven’t even been tempted by any of the reveals so far. Domino is the best so far and she isn’t even part of the reveal yet. Show me some X-Men sideshow!

Strangely enough, he has been sold out on the Prime 1 website for a very long time. (I’d have to order there as I’m in Japan)

I would think people are just not that interested in that serie (Just like me). Superman has been on sale for a very long time and isn’t selling very well either.
