Are you saying Sideshow won't be at this year's SDCC too?


If so, then I missed the announcement.

I hope that's not true. Seeing the new statues in person was very helpful ...and fun.

That's a shame. I wonder why.

It's insanely expensive to have a booth there.

In some way's i'm glad that the era of 3-5k ES is over, only because SS will have to take more risk on statues. It maybe to our benefit (dazzler) or to our dislike (insert your recent dislike). They will have to release more statues to make up for what they use to sell.

I don't think its any one thing tho, saturation/bottoming out/character designs/character choices/economy/customs. Its likely all the above, those of us on here are no longer interested in 4th or 5th Joker/Harley's, the markets grown and wants at least 1 version of the core rogues. Penguin sold twice as much as the last version of the joker, since seasoned collectors came back to get it I believe. Just like they will come back for Riddler and a Two face PF.

I loved this Batman, and I can see why they will always make more, because everyone may have a difference of what there perfect batman will be. Very few will collect every iteration they make. I have room for only one batman, so for me this wouldn't be it. I wonder how many they will be able to sell of the Batman/Joker dio, since i'm still waiting for sideshow to do a Hush Batman in there style rather than the P1 batman.

I'm wondering if they benefit of the booth vs the cost of the booth/employees rooms/meals, how many sales they don't get because of lack of exposure to new potential clients.

Maybe there research showed there online presence and existing customer base no longer needs SDCC?

That is a shame, I wish they could do a less expensive off site showing for the customers, that way those of us in town can have the benefit to seeing in person statues we are on the fence about.

Or like the weekend before comic con have a showing at a made up booth somewhere near the company.

TorpedoCon takes place in LA the weekend prior to SDCC every year. That would be an affordable, convenient show for them to set up at.

Hell, I'd go just to see their booth.

Same here, the few years that I did go to Comic Con, it was really only to visit Sideshow's booth.

Waitlist converted.
