Still no closure on the DC classic PF line, even just for the Big 7.

Shame Sideshow, SHAME!

I can take a wild guess that we'll probably revisit Doctor Doom in PF form again in the future (perhaps even fully sculpted) but in the end I don't have a definitive yes or no answer for this guy at this time.

No Drax or Star Lord that I'm aware of at this point in time. Sorry.

Thanks!
I'm not aware of a Cyclops being in the works but I'd take a guess that we might revisit this character at some point in the future too.

Just passing along the explanation to y'all that was given to me. Sorry it wasn't the answer being sought. :-(

i think i can speak for everyone who has an issue with how the armor is now when i say, can you PLEASE tell whoever it is in charge for this trooper to make the proper adjustments to the armor.
after all SS does do this from time to time, and for the better. for example, the first superman poritat. that was scrapped and a new one was made. for the better mind you. this situation shouldn't be any different. becasue this is most definitely one of those times where things need to be fixed.

forearm and upper arm pieces need to be a bit longer towards the elbows. lower leg and thigh amror needs to be a bit longer towards the knees, and the collar on the chest armor needs to be raised up more towards the neck.

PLEASE WE ARE BEGGING SS TO FIX THIS....

example in the image below, how it is now on the left, how it should be on the right.
The leg armor and blaster are areas that received adjustment post SDCC. Pictures on the site are also of the adjusted Stormtrooper. Thanks for passing along suggestions though! I'll get them passed along to the appropriate parties for consideration (no promises of course given this piece has been finalized for several months and started the manufacturing processes already).

If you're asking about a possible Slave Leia Figure from Hot Toys...I'm unable to answer such a question since myself and everyone else at Sideshow is not privy to what they have coming down the pipeline.

As for your second question, if you're asking if Black Heart will be making PFs of Universal Monsters...that is another question I'm unable to answer as, just like Hot Toys, Sideshow is not given such information.

I don't know the final breakdown this piece will have for shipping purposes (it's a little too early to know since the piece is so new), so I'm unable to confirm at this time if some or all of the spikes will be removable. I'll know that information closer to the time when it starts shipping, so if folks want to ask this question again later please do!

Thanks again for your time.
Taarna is the only Heavy Metal character in the pipeline.

The cape can very much drape forward over the shoulders/arms/hands.

This is on our dream list of videos for the future! Great suggestion!

They will be removable. But note that there will be a key hole somewhere on the back of the piece (I'll how big and the location of the key hole closer to when this item is actually shipping) for those pieces to be placed on and off the PF.

Too soon to have an answer as the piece is pretty new in the manufacturing stage. The final materials chosen will be something that will give longevity and stability to them.

I think she's already seeing someone else sorry to say. She's not much of a conversationalist nor moves around at all, so not sure if you're really seeking a medusified type lady or not. ;-)

The piece was not made bigger based on the adjusted changes. They were simply parts worked on that were already there. I would love to hear a reason how Sideshow justifies its ok to change it to Maquette and charge it that high? Thanks
Sorry if my past answers to this question were missed previously, but to reiterate...Magneto should have been branded a Maquette from the get go and as such was updated accordingly later on. The piece simply breaks out of the mold of most Premium Format Figures (his complexity is larger/more involved than the majority of other Premium Format Figure offerings).

I'll certainly pass along the suggestion!

Though I don't have 100% confirmation on this (the piece is very early in the manufacturing process) more than likely the head would be removable to ensure safe shipment of piece to customers.

I've never posted before. Thank you for what you do for us.

I do want to share some disappointment in that there won't be a classic Flash museum pose premium format figure. He has been my favorite character (what's your favorite character and do you have a favorite statue?) since I was a kid (and crisis on infinite earths/episodes of super friends).

I've had to watch my spending since premium formats are over $500 now but would have easily bought version. Any real chance demand would change those that make decisions for which characters to produce?

Other question related to this line is if zatanna is the last in the classic museum line being produced?

And my last question is that I am eagerly awaiting a preorder for J Scott Campbell's Alice statue. Do you know when there will be a preview or preorder for the statue?

Thank you again! Appreciate your time and answers.
I would like to suggest to you and others to wait and see how future DC Premium Format Figures will look. The newest Wonder Woman PF that seems to satisfy a lot classic and modern fans of the character, so it's very possible that the future Justice League team members may end up fitting right into collections of previously released DC PFs.

As for the Campbell Fairytale Fantasy line....Tinkerbell will be the next piece made available for Pre-Order (hopefully within the next few months) and then Alice will follow. I don't have an exact time frame for the Alice Pre-Order but currently I'd estimate it be sometime during the summer OR early fall.

The only reason I ask is because I'd like to see a double layered cape, similar to what was done with the Darth Vader PF. I'm not sure how the other collectors feel about it, but in my opinion, the material used looks a bit lack luster.

I'd love to see a similar material used for the outer shell on the Vader PF, as well as the satin inner layer.

I think a double layered cape will add more richness to an overall excellent piece.

Thanks for the suggestion! Sadly at this stage such a change would be pretty difficult as all material would have been sourced/purchased and the process of having them created would already be rolling along. Sorry.

I'll of course pass along the suggestion to the right folks though just in case!

I know are more in the pipeline with one POSSIBLY ready to show off during the summer sometime. No guarantees though.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I received an update recently in regards to shows that Sideshow will have a bigger presence at and sadly we will not have a booth at Monsterpalooza this year. There will be several of our artists there on display to show off their own work though. The next show in which Sideshow will have a bigger presence will be SDCC and more than likely Wonder Woman and Superman would be on display.

The pictures seem to be causing a strange illusion on this piece and that head as her hairline is not a straight line. It definitely has more definition.

Can we expect the New Captain America PF to go up for order/preview before the end of the month? Also, how about Daredevil. When's Matt Murdock joining the party....

Thanks as always.
I don't know the final material breakdown for Captain America. Like what I said about above with Wonder Woman, the material chosen will be one that will keep the item safe during shipping and for a long lasting life.

Daredevil is 100% complete and will make his debut in the next couple of months!

Is there any chance that sideshow has plans or can plan to do complete lines from the go? Like "we will do 7 total avengers to fit in with this new line started with Black widow and Captain America!". Then the sales can determine ES size instead of if the line continues. I know that's a risk if an item totally tanks, but in my 5 years as a fan, I don't think I've seen an item that has totally been unsuccessful.

Just thinking out loud. Thanks Alex.
Yes, that does occur (i.e.: recent announcement of the six new DC Premium Format Figures for example) from time to time. But for the most part any new line will mostly be limited from the start either due to only having so much bandwidth to create X amount of products (overall...not just a single line) in a year (or years), only having so much bandwidth to create X amount before the license expires, and so on. So though some lines may continue beyond an initial offering, and yes that can depend on how a line does sales wise, there are other reasons why or why not a line would continue as well.

Sorry but as others have said my time to respond back is limited. More than likely I'll have a chance to answer once a month...possibly even several months will go by before I can answer. It just depends on my work load (which is incredibly busy) and personal life (also additionally busy).

Many issues with the piece were addressed. Should you find you receive a piece with issues, please do reach out to our customer service team directly and they'll help you out with replacement or refund needs. Thanks!

I know more Spider-Man products are in the works at all various sizes but I really don't know what characters they will be at this time, whether they will find in with the last few that were released, etc.

Sorry to say that there are no new Indiana Jones pieces in the pipeline. That Indiana Jones Legendary Scale Figure has been abandoned and will not be released.

Hey Alex, thank you for answering our questions. I recall seeing on SS live a few weeks ago that you guys were working on a DC vs piece. When will you be making it official, announcing it, previewing it, displaying it, etc?

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)

Hey Alex

Kind of a random question here.

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!

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?
