It's been photographed! Once the approval process for these photos are completed then the gallery for this piece will be updated.

when will we start to see the comiquette line of DC statues?

I don't believe there will be any DC Comiquettes in the near future at this times. Focus for now will continue to be on PF, Sixth Scale, Legendary Scale, and Life-Size Busts.

I do know what the Exclusive will be. Y'all will find out what it is very soon. The bases for each Hulk will be the same for the most part. One may not include something on it's base that the others come with.

Prime 1 Studio will have their own Exclusive version that will only be available through them and to their markets, so we would not be carrying that version.

I do not want to waste your time. But can you ask for information about this subject to the development team?

Today we remain in the dark shadow of Isengard about the status of the license of the lord of the rings.

I second that! Please do some snooping and let us long-suffering LOTR fans know if we have cause to hope for more like the rumoured Cave Troll PF or if Saruman is our last hoo-rah... Saruman looks great BTW.

Unfortunately commenting on the status of licenses is something I cannot do as things change so rapidly sometimes that what I disclose one moment could be totally different days later.

Hi, SSAlex.As you've confirmed that sideshow collectables will be distributing the prime 1 studios optimus prime maquette through their website, is it safe to say that sideshow collectables will distribute all other transformer maquettes that prime 1 studios will make in the future?Cheers!

[jinkazama]

Hello again, SSAlex.I just read on another forum that someone said that sideshow collectables has now delayed the release date of the prime 1 studio megatron maquette to june.Is this correct?

It's these types of answers regarding other pieces that makes me hopeful for Daredevil! Bring it on!

I really do not know if we'll be offering more Prime I Studo Transformer items in the future. Always possible of course but I would not know until I received word that we were carrying the next XYZ Transformers piece from Prime 1 Studio.

Yes, that item has been delayed. Prime 1 Studio noticed issues had occurred with the piece when it first started shipping and they are taking this extra time to ensure the next round of Megatrons going out are as amazing as possible when they arrive in hand to customers.

Hey Alex, thanks for taking the time to respond, but I am a little confused. Earlier on in this thread you said that SS had definitely not lost the license for LOTR or the Hobbit in response to people's questioning of the enormous lag between releases. Has something changed for you not to be allowed to comment on their status any longer? Just curious...
