Many thanks

Backstage Pass videos are more than likely not to make a return. If they do, they would more than likely be re-done in a different style (maybe shorter, different visually, etc.). Backstage Pass videos just would not viewed much at all, so continuing to create something that hardly anyone was interested in wasn't really feasible anymore.

360 videos should (SHOULD) be making a return in some way in the future though!

Recently we got the Batman PF with the loose fabric around his underarms, and all fans ever heard about these problems was something akin to "Sideshow takes notice of these issues," without giving us purchasers any real news about steps being taken towards future statues.

We've kinda seen the Harley proto with a decent fabric application around her body, and Superman looks as correct as the Batman PF proto did before the production release. But now with a statue like Catwoman coming, whose sole purpose is to be displayed with her backside out, have there been any changes to Sideshows fabric applications and how they can be tightly wrapped around bodies so the sculpt underneath isn't hidden and/or wasted? Are fans expected to have to "fix" these problems themselves by tearing apart the fabric and re-gluing them back on their own? I imagine there are a few statues coming up that will be heavily fabric dependent, and not seeing fixes to current PF releases now have a lot of collectors worried about higher statue prices for low quality production models.

Thanks!

We are always striving to release incredible products to collectors with each product and as such close eyes and hands are being kept on the products as they progress through production. I've recently seen a Superman production piece and I thought it looked pretty darn nice! I haven't seen Harley yet (a production piece that is) so I cannot speak to how she looks at this juncture.

Really excited for the New HULK PF's(can't wait for Green!)....will all three have different poses? Thanks Alex!

[Viper245]

Thanks for the reply Alex. Hopefully the 360 views do make a return.

Too bad that the Back Stage Pass videos have been retired.

They will all have the same pose but each one will have some differences about them (and it's not just color).

Hi Alex....sorry is this was asked already. Is there any word on the Don Cheadle portrait for the iron patriot?

[DynamicMenace]

SSA.
you may be bable to shed some ouight on this or not but, seems how there has been a plethora of DC PF being released.
when will we start to see the comiquette line of DC statues?

[JohnMatrix]

Dear Alex, do you know what the exclusive is going to be for the Big Red Hulk PF? Do all the new Hulks come with similar-ish bases.

Do you know if SS will offer an EX version of Optimus Prime or will it be limited to just Japan? The EX for Megatron was only available in Japan....I hope that's not the case with Prime!
