Han will Pre-Order first....very soon. Luke will follow up about a month later.

Both had multiple sculptors attached to each of them. Trevor Grove sculpted the portraits on them with other's having their hands in other parts that make up each piece.

2 questions..

with the upcoming CoTD 1/4 scale mask/helmet will they be detachable from the base?

noticed theres an upcoming variant for the hulk v wolverine print, will there also be a variant for the Thanos art print?

thanks!

Yes the mask will be detachable from the base. Please note that they will not fit on a Premium Format Figure.

I'm not sure if a Thanos variant print might happen or not at this time. Sorry.

I don't know the final product display list for SDCC at this time. I would think that piece would be considered for the show.

I recently received my first SS piece from you guys, HvW and I couldn't be happier! My question is will you be doing other VS pieces and if so, what time frame-ish?

Also, I did see you are carrying some Factory Ent items, will you be selling their Captain America vs Ironman statue when it's avail for preorder too?

Lastly, I just PO'd PCS MKX SubZero from you, will you be carrying other characters as well to pair w this one??

Thank you.

More Vs pieces are being worked on but I don't believe it will be until 2018 sometime that one would be ready to unveil.

I don't know what and what we will not carry from Factory Entertainment. Sorry.

For PCS it seems we are carrying more and more of their pieces but I don't know what any future ones will be.

I believe there is a possibility that the line will extend beyond the first 4 but nothing is set in stone right now.

First and foremost thank you for continuing to provide answers to the questions you can.

I was wondering if you can provide an update on Lex Luthor? Is he still tracking for Oct-Nov?

He's still on track for an Oct/November release currently.

He should be up for Pre-Order sometime this year if all remains on track with the item.

There are no plans for future Disney specific Premium Format Figures. I know I really wanted a animated Belle Premium Format Figure but sadly the line didn't continue beyond what was made.

I hope that you love the Captain Hook and Evil Queen pieces. :-)

I honestly don't know if we'd ever do a Legendary Scale Chewbacca with real hair. Sorry.

Merci

There's a chance it might be but nothing is locked in at this time.

Thank you!

Still no plans at this time but maybe in the future since more Legends characters are becoming cannon.

This is great news! Trevor is the king of portraits. Han and Luke are now on my radar as possible purchases. Thank you!

Alex, when is Juggernaut coming??? Please tell me soon.

Hi Alex,

When can we expect The Hulk from the 1/5 Avengers line?

Thank you.

Hey Alex

The 1/4 scale mask for death in CoTD.. it seems too small to wanna be collectible.. unless it was swappable with the upcoming death PF masks which would make the most sense. Any reason why sideshow isn't willing to make this possible?

I still don't know if or when a Juggernaut is happening or not. I sure keeping hoping there will be one in the future for fans though!

The prototype still isn't finished yet, so it's still a few months away. Hopefully before SDCC. *crosses fingers*

This is a new line that is much like 'The Lord of the Rings' helms from many years ago, so they are being made as stand alone pieces.

On a side note: I loved the LOTR helms, so I was super excited for this new line because Court of the Dead is full of interesting helms, crowns, headpieces that I'd love to see make it to the lower price point collectible.

Hey Alex

That's an interesting reply you gave about the Legends line and more Star Wars characters becoming canon. Does that mean Sideshow has a master list of what characters they can/can't create based on them being canon or not? Or is it just a shot in the dark as to who Sideshow wants to make at any given time and whether or not those characters can be released?

Thanks!

Non-canon characters are off limits. Since there continues to be some changes of once non-canon to canon that could bring about some kind of revisit in the future with the line.

@SSAlex - Aside from Magneto, can we expect any other X-men to be revealed this year? Are there any in the works right now? Also, are there more characters planned for the fully sculpted Spider-man and MOTU line?
