Thank you.

As you've seen, the hand is the only touch point on this piece.
The breakdown of final engineering of this piece will be known closer to the ship date of Rogue. Even though engineering is decided upon as it enters the manufacturing phase there is always a possibility that tweaks could occur to the breakdown once the various testing processes (such as drop testing) begin.

Sideshow no longer has the God of War license but we do distribute items from that franchise from time to time. :-)

Both pieces have been placed on the back burner at this time. I don't know the reasons unfortunately. I just know it was decided to not move forward with them as collectibles to be released at this time.

Sorry to say that the final breakdown of this piece won't be known until we're closer to the shipping time frame for her. Her full assembly breakdown (such as the chance the cape could or could not come off to display her with or without it) will be part of the unboxing video that will release before she being shipping to customers.

There are no plans for future McQuarrie pieces at this point in time.

It makes no sense especially when other companies don't have a problem, regardless of scale.
|
Sorry, if I had the reasons why for the delays or non-reprenstation of characters I would certainly pass them along. I know that a 1:4 Flash is still not out of the realm of the possibility but I couldn't tell you when it would actually happen.

Sorry but that is not a project that moved forward.

Unfortunately I do not work within Sideshow's wholesale division, so I don't have information regarding fulfillment of product for official Sideshow distributors. Have you reached out to Simply Toy directly to see if they have any info as to when they are expecting to receive their stock?

Thanks.

Some of the seams seen on the prototypes for these pieces will not be as prominent in the pieces folks will receive in hand.

There are some new ones (yes, even a few new characters never done in PF form before) in the pipeline but the earliest time framed they would be revealed would be at varying points in 2019.

There was a mix of prototypes and production samples on display.

Im thinking of Aaayla, Shaak Ti, Talon, Malgus.. Tusken Raider..all of them are sold out and in high demand in the after market..
How come SSC is rotating since after Shaak Ti over and over the same characters instead of reaching out to so many characters that are high in demand and not been produced yet??
(while having most of your current SW Statues still in stock and not selling)
|
A list characters will more often than not be revisited more often simply due to the fact they are A list. That doesn't mean non A-listers won't be of course. As I said above some never-before-seen characters are expected to get the PF treatment in the future but it will be a little while before those are revealed.

Re the Justice League New 52 Prime 1 pieces - I know these are 1/4 scale but are they out of scale with Sideshows own Premium Formats? I have seen pics that make their Green Lantern look like 1/5 beside Sideshows pieces.
It's cool if so, both Sideshow and Prime 1 pieces are great - would just be good to know if the 2 types cant be mixed and matched as it would just make me wait for (hopefully) eventual Premium Formats of Flash, Cyborg, etc to go with the new trinity that I definitely plan on getting...
|
Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to compare Sideshow DC PFs and Prime 1/Sideshow New 52 pieces side by side to really see if there are significant size differences. The new 52 pieces do tend to have much bigger footprint/presence bases of course.

I was a little sad to see that the Boba 1:1 bust wasn't there. Are there any updates on the production that you might be able to share?
Thanks!

It must have gotten missed on the final build of that piece. It's never been relayed to me that any changes were occurring for that part on that piece.
Sadly we can't bring everything to the show to display. I have no updates on the Boba Fett 1:1 Bust at this time.

The only thing I was truly missing was "Masters of the Universe".  I was expecting to see at least one new character, to be honest. But nothing?  I really hope that you plan to continue that fantastic line, especially since Tweeterhead announced some great stuff to come in the near future a few months back. Do you have any news regarding MotU? Any hint? Or at least the confirmation that the line will continue? Pretty please?
Greetings from Germany and keep up the good work. |
Future MOTU pieces will be coming from Tweeterhead, so I don't know what is coming down the pipeline for that line right now. I know it is supposed to continue for sure!

2. Do you know the chances of seeing anymore Danger Girl PFs? (Sydney Savage)
3. Do you know the chance that we will see more Marvel J Scott Campbell statues? (X-Women)
|
Psylocke is expected to Pre-Order sometime in September. I don't have the full/final breakdown of all that will be included with that piece yet, so I don't know whether an alternate portrait will be offered or now.
I don't know if more Danger Girl PF's are coming or not at this time. Sorry.
For now the focus for J. Scott Campbell pieces is the Fairytale Fantasy line.

There are more male X-Men characters for the future. I'm not at liberty to disclose what characters they are of course.

Thank you for your answer |
Sideshow will be at NYCC!
And for those attending I have an update regarding Juggernaut...he won't make it to the show I'm sad to say as he won't be ready in time. But he'll hopefully be done sometime in the fall.

A tweak will be occurring to the construct around his arm to get rid of the unfortunate cut off that occurred.

No tweaks to the portrait are expected for Rogue.

Sorry, I'm not part of the affiliate team, so I cannot speak as to why an outlet would not be part of the program.

I would love to know how price points are agreed upon as $1250 for a 1/4 scale piece doesn't seem right to me.
Is sideshow ever concerned they will be pricing out their customers with their new pieces?
|
Pricing is all based upon costs to produce (from prototype to final production), licensing fees and so on. Costs continue to rise in the collecting industry. If pieces could be sold at lower price points they certainly would.
I remember when it cost me $10 or less to buy certain sized action figures in the early to mid 2000s and those same type/size actions figures are $20 ore more.

Thank you and hope all is well
|
Both pieces are 1/4 scale. I'll pass along the recommendation. Hopefully the size comparisons added to sell pages as well as measurements will give people a good gauge of size for these pieces as well. :-)

2. Any plans to make PFs from Solo? Would love to see young Solo PF and Enfys Nest PF!
3. Still would love to see a 1/4 Jabba the Hutt, Wicket and Wampa PFs. Can you please pass along to the powers-that-be to make them happen? |
I'll certainly pass along your suggestions!
Bounty Hunters beyond Boba Fett in 1/4 Scale and Solo movie pieces are not in the pipeline at this time.

Seeing the Sideshow warning. I'm wondering, is it safe to sleep in the same room as statues?
I've been aware, after unboxing a new piece, the toxic smell of polystyrene, paint, possibly polystone fresh out the box. The fumes from my Prime 1 Harley Quinn took a good 3 days to clear from the room.

You should be more than fine having these pieces in the same living space that you dwell within.
