Hi Alex!

Will the LSF Catwoman be going up for pre-order in 2014?

SSAlex, I know youre not in charge of this but please drop a hint to the powers that be... a DREDD license would pretty much be guaranteed money in the bank

Alex,

Is the LSF Batman still in the works? Will we see it this year or during SDCC?

I love collecting large scale states, but at this rate I'll be dead before I get to order whatever is next in line.

Alex,

If this question has been asked before, I apologize. When a product is put up for order, what stage is the sculpt at? Has it been started or do you wait to see what the initial orders numbers look like to start the production process?

Thanks, looking forward to the Wonder Woman PF, will be my first buy since the Evil Queen and Maleficent PFs.

Thank you.

I haven't any Termniator news to share right now. I would bet more will be coming in the future but what and when I just do not know...right now.

When would we see the doom pf teased at sdcc?

Also any info or teases soon on a flash pf?

Thanks

Doom Premium Format Figure is coming! When will something be teased? Hopefully in the next few months.

As for a Flash PF....no news, sorry.

Without pigeon holing you into an answer, would it be safe to assume that we will get some some sneak or even just an official announcement that the mythos line is at least definitely continuing at SDCC or before? If you can't answer, I get that too! Thanks, I'd just like reassurance that my "MYTHOS FIVE" will be getting company, even if it's a year or two away!

I don't know when future Mythos items will coming, so not sure when any more news will be coming out in forms of teases, etc.

No, you cannot switch a Credit Card as payment to PayPal on already existing orders.

Do you have any non-Sideshow statues displayed on your work desk?

Statues...no. I do have some more toy items scattered around (army of mousers from TMNT, 1966 Batmobile Hot Wheels, a couple of LOTR Play Along figures. I actually don't even have many Sideshow items around my work area (save for a PF and a couple of Statues that's it) since I have minimal room to have things on display.

That's the hope!

I believe that it still is. Whether it will be at SDCC or not...it's too early to say. The final product line up for SDCC is still very much in the works and will be for many months to come.

I'm not privy to where every single new item is in production when it goes up for order but of the ones I have known about every single one was already in production (some very far along and some in more infancy stages).

SSAlex,
why wasn't the chest symbol raised/placed higher up on Batman's chest as you stated a while back?

as you can see its still in the same position as it was from the get go. do you know why it wasn't placed higher on his chest?

or is this just how the first batch will be and that this will be corrected for the rest of the statues? or for the Reg versions. any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The symbol was raised on the piece. What is occurring with these new final pieces is a shift in the costume material during shipping. People can raise the symbol up higher (where there is little to no gap between the top left hand wing of the bat ). With some gentle pull/push up on the costume (before the cape and head choice are place on the piece) one can raise the material up and viola...little to no gap. I futzed with a production piece in the office less than 30 minutes ago and achieved a no gap between bottom of the cape (were it flows onto his chest) and the top of the left bat wing. Once can try futzing to pull/push the costume up once the cape is on the piece as well but I found futzing before the cape was on easier.

Hope that helps!

absolutely it does SSAlex. thank you so much. figure as much but wanted to hear it from you

[equi-nox76]

Will the new Doom PF be classic or a more modern or detailed version like the LSF? Or is it maybe the white one?
