The Official "Ask Sideshow" Thread (Check 3rd post before asking questions)

[chaber]

Hey Alex, thanks for all your answers and for taking the time to interact with us here on the forum. Now that I've got you buttered up, when can we expect the next Star Wars PF to go up for pre-order? And if you're feeling especially generous, who will it be?

Thanks!

Hi, SSAlex.I just want to ask, will hot toys still be distributing the 1966 batmobile?[as sideshow collectables still have it in the ''upcoming products'' section].Cheers!

I'm not seeing any Harley Quinn PF variants but I really am only in the know of what's estimated to be coming in the next 6 months give or take a month.

P.S. Someone posted pics of this piece on July 4th (they already received theirs). May I ask how this happens? If the objective is to send pieces earlier in order to review it, how can I get on this list? I review pieces all the time. Thanks!

Looks like Doom will be processing and shipping from the U.S. warehouse very soon.

As to the person that already received Doom...They may have received theirs through our Hong Kong warehouse that is shipping items to certain international countries before we receive our items into our U.S. warehouse.

Thanks!

We still haven't received a final production piece to photograph. I'm hoping he'll be in soon! *crosses fingers*

Do you you know if there is a plan to release a new one this year

There are no plans for DC or Marvel Life-Size Bust release this year. Maybe next year? But I really do not know.

I know more X-Men project are in the pipeline but I really do now know what era they will herald from.

I do not see any Middle-Earth items in the upcoming projects that I'm aware of.

There should be one (MAYBE two) Star Wars PF up for order for the end of the year. As to what it will be...I'm not at liberty to say, sorry.

We've never been told it's a cancelled project from Hot Toys, so as far as we're aware it is something that is expected to be available in the future.

Did you guys get rid of the live chat feature on your website? I haven't been able to use it for awhile and now it looks like it's been removed altogether.

It's still there. You can find it through the support link at the top of the site when you click on it. It will lead to the help desk area where you'll see the button to initiate it during the hours it's available.

Hey SSAlex,

First time question asker. When will we see Voltron painted and up for PO? I know you might not have an exact date but maybe you can give us something in the ballpark.

Thanks

I don't have an exact date and month but the hope is to have it up for Pre-Order by the end of the year or early next year sometime.

Alex to piggyback off this question. I'm sure you've probably answered this before but I scrolled back a lot of pages and couldn't find it. So Sideshow will continue to be able to produce X-men statues or are they stuck in limbo due to licensing issues? I really hope they can as that is the only license I collect. If you can't answer that I understand
