Oh ok thanks

Any chance of a new 1/4 Giger Alien from the first film?

Alex, with the announcement of the joker mask I caught myself thinking about something: what about a new 1:1 bust?! I'm a sucker for joker and I'm buying the mask, but I would reaaaaaally love a new bust! (Since I didn't get the chance to get the first one)

Hey Alex

Does Hasbro's Black Series Star Wars releases (or any other companies various lines) allow Sideshow to create the same character's that SS might not have been able to release before? With Hasbro's yearly fan voting poll we're getting characters like Darth Revan and the upcoming Jaina Solo. So then why isn't SS allowed to release the same characters in a premium format at the very least?

On top of that, why is Hasbro allowed to have an open vote from fans to have their favorite characters released while SS still maintains that everything non-cannon is still off limits? Last years Hasbro list (which lead to the upcoming Jaina Solo) included some long awaited characters that fans have wanted SS to release including Mara Jade, Starkiller, and Darth Talon (if you were to ever revisit her). Why can't SS have their own open fan voting poll?

Thanks!

I believe Mara Jade, although part of the Legends category MAY still be off limits at this time

Thanks for pointing that post out =)

So now Alex, I guess the question is if there's a master list of "Can-do's/Can't-do's" that Sideshow has for Star Wars characters? Can we ask about specific characters being available like Starkiller (Vader's apprentice), a Darth Talon redo (for fans that have been wanting one who missed the first release), Darth Revan, etc? And why can Hasbro have a fan poll asking for what character fans want to see released while Sideshow doesn't even seem interested in creating EU PF's anymore?

Thanks as always!

What is going on with the MOTU line? Been a long time since any updates....

Hi Alex, I know this might have been asked and you may not be able to say much on the matter, but will we be seeing any upcoming Alien/Aliens collectibles in 1/4 scale? Or any Alien Covenant collectibles for that matter? Thanks

Hi Alex, among the many horror characters Sideshow has released in Premium Format, is there a chance to see TALL MAN from actor by Angus Scrimm in PHANTASM? Thank you.
