The Sideshow product onslaught

[chrismhk]

I am happy they are producing a lot new PFs. I think the issue for some people like me is that most are revisits and would like to see some new characters get produced. I am glad we finally have new character PFs like Green Arrow and Mr. Freeze after the 6 revisits lol I have nothing against revisits but I think they should produce more new characters alongside revisited popular characters. Not one or two new ones per 6 revisits.

Very happy with how many their producing.

These things are a luxury. If the issue is you can't afford them all, that's not sideshow's problem.

A better solution would be to switch to collecting something less expensive. I certainly can't afford everything, but I love all the options.

We'd never get B and C listers without the "onslaught" so I say bring 'em on.

This is my stance as well.

1) this isn't the hobby to be an OCD completionist unless you have virtually unlimited space and money to play with.

2) Just because you can't pre-order something, doesn't mean you can't get it eventually. Patience is key to any sort of collecting.

3) The fact that there is so much product is good, because it means there is enough demand for a company like Sideshow to be confident in investing in so many projects. And the more they are investing, the more likely it is that we get things we never could have dreamed of a few years ago.

So I don't really see the downside as a collector. I'd be way more worried if we saw a downturn in production. I guess there's a downside if you're into flipping stuff, but if you're in as a collector long term, this is a good thing from my perspective.

I'm on a break right now. Had to eat a couple of NRD's recently. Cancelled a bunch of stuff.

I don't see anything wrong with having options. As others have said many are a new version of previously released characters. There's no point in buying a piece just because it's on the market.

Oh man I came here thinking they announced an Onslaught statue! oh well LOL I say the more they make the better!

Its awesome... just wished they increased the number available that way can get it later when possible vs being sold out...

There isn't more DC PFs over the last few years. They are just all comic focused compared to the mix of of TV (Batman 66) Movie (Suicide Squad, BVS, Dark Knight etc) and Comic of the last few years. SSAlex as well as Igo have been hinting that they are mainly focusing on Comic for the last 6 months or so.

This is an amazing thing. Couldn't be happier. There are 9 characters pictured in the new SSC DC video yet to be given the PF treatment. Bring em on asap b/c, as mentioned above, once it's time to make another Trinity we'll be repeating all over again.
