very true, we always expect the new character release from sideshow but that's also at the risk of them putting the "ss spin" on it...unfortunately sometimes it comes out looking like utter garbage

love this joker tho

Unfortunately, I'm still anxiously waiting on a 1/4 classic Perez Deathstroke for my collection.
Don't hold your breath. Underwear on the outside and swashbuckler boots are like Sideshow's kryptonite now.

I've been waiting on a proper Perez styled Deathstroke PF since sideshow acquired the DC license. Instead of a comic accurate Deathstroke PF, sideshow gave us the abomination know as the Deathstroker PF. I used to buy quite a bit of sideshow's Marvel and DC PFs. With the exception of the last Wolverine PF, I haven't bought anything else from sideshow.


Man that's dumb. I don't know if i wanna start collecting this line now if they dont seem to finish it. Decisions, decisions lol

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

What would you consider a "finish" for the line?

After Sideshow gets through Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Joker, Harley, and Catwoman, anything else is a bonus. You'll more likely see Batman PF V3 before Deathstroke.

If you are looking to go deep into the DC roster, you might want to consider going 1:6 and seeing what Tweeterhead comes up with.

He'll most likely see Batman PF V5 before he sees Deathstroke.

What i meant was at least finish the villains that they just released in that rogues gallery art print. So at least Two-face, Riddler, Scarecrow, Penguin, Man-Bat and Clayface. But hey if they wanna do more than those, i wouldn't be mad lol

On this very board Dave Igo, Lead Art Director at SSC, stated that there is 3 MAYBE 4 new never before seen characters being made into PFs in the next 2 years!?!

If you are looking to finish a line or to branch out in character representation and are just starting out, I'd say look to Prime 1 b/c SSC will always stick to the Big names.

Out of those 3 maybe 4 new entries, I would place my bets on all Gotham Characters.

Prime1 doesn’t finish any lines too. Prime 1 is great if you are a fan of only Batman, Superman, and Joker. You won’t get a line with consistent scale and style (Arkham series line was close to finishing, but honestly I don’t think prime1 will ever do anything like this line again. They are all about Batman nowadays lol). Last Wonderfest was horrible in terms of character representation. In some ways, I think they are worse than SSC. Honestly, I think the best bet to finish a Rogue line or get character representation will be Tweeterhead. Now, that is a company all about character representation.

Sideshow actually teased that 1 new Gotham character and 2-3 new DC non-gotham characters will be made in two years. In other words, we will get approx 8+ Repeats lol. That isn’t sounding good to me, who is looking for 1/4 scale new Bat family characters. So for sure, the rogue line/gotham line will not be completed for the foreseeable future.

Bummer if that's true. Sucks if they don't make them. They would obviously sell.
