I love the presence of the Predator 2 Maquette. His details are quite amazing to me. The Wolf Predator is impressive to me as well but more so for his action stance. The details on the wolf are nice as well but I've just always loved the movement being conveyed in the wolf predator.

I didn't see your reply to whether the Jean Grey and Hellfire Emma were in the works. They were both previewed in sketches in a SS video. So are they in the works? Will we be seeing anything on them soon?

If not -- PLEASE pass on to the rest of the crew that we are in desperate need of a Phoenix and/or Jean piece

--Lindsey

Jean Grey has been an on going project. I believe any kind of Phoenix project has been placed on hold for now. Given the popularity of the Phoenix storyline, I'd imagine a collectible from Sideshow would exist sometime in the future.

Unfortunately I cannot be that specific about what lines will see Pre-Orders in the coming months as product pre-orders change enough times that what I say today could be totally wrong tomorrow.

I know they are not as popular as some of the main characters from DC, but is SSC planning to make a Captain Marvel or Black Adam?

Thanks

Unfortunately I really do not know if any of the characters you mentioned above are in the works or not at this time.

You MAY be seeing one of the three characters you mentioned above in collectible form sometime this year.

P.S. since I missed out on the original Black Panther, any chance for another PF that's standing rather then crouching.

THANKS!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if another Hal Jordan comes to pass but I really do not have confirmation of a future Hal Jordan piece right now.

Movie versions of Winter Solider and Guardians of the Galaxy pieces would more than likely exist before comic versions.

Maybe you can help to reactivating the link of Ms. Marvel?

Gotcha. Unfortunately the Ms. Marvel product link will more than likely not be re-activated. So sorry.

I do believe more will happen in the future yes.

Supes,Bats,WW,GL,Flash,Aquaman and Martian Manhunter?

We hope they will be in scale for a great visual effect.

Unfortunately I just do not know if Flash, Aquaman or Martian Manhunter are lined up to become collectibles anytime soon.

I'm hoping probably just as much as y'all that an official update on this project will happen...and soon!

Instead of stacking the cape and body above/below one another, couldn't there be some way to put the cape on one side of the styrofoam material and the body on the other?

Also, I'm sure the box size is what was causing so much grief for international buyers, but even for us domestic customers just receiving something so huge was a problem (not to mention how everyone is gonna try and store it).

Has anyone at Sideshow even hinted at looking at new packaging options?

Thanks

We are always looking to lessen box sizes for products where possible but the reasoning for positioning of pieces as they are in packing is to try and ensure the product gets into the hands of collectors without damage. In the case of Superman it may end up having just as large as a box of Batman but I really do not know what the final box size for this item will be yet. I'll see if I can find out and report back.

The cape is the only mixed media piece on this item.
The utility belt is sculpted.

When can we expect to see some paint

I don't believe this piece is anywhere near being done with pain application. Blizzard pieces typically take the longest for paint application due to approval/revision process that occurs.

Thank you

A Jake Sully Bust is not very likely to happen anytime soon.

Though this isn't a bad idea the probability of it actually happening are slim to none.

Why thank you, Chris! Coffee is always appreciated.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer our questions?

Always a chance! More popular versions of the Superman character would exist before the less popular versions and would be much farther down the line.

I would imagine Batman could be a good candidate for such scale. When such a piece would see a debut...I just do not know.

SSAlex,

Is the Darth Vader Mythos replacement arm (to replace the error) still on backordered? I haven't heard from customer service since I requested to be put on the list several months back. Thanks.

The replacement arms were happening in two waves and replacements issued in the order in which requests were made. The first wave were fulfilled within the last few weeks and the second wave of arms are expected in within the next couple of weeks, so those waiting for them should have them soon! :-)

Oooo...tough one. Frank Miller...that guy has some dark, dark thoughts that end up on the page (not that Moore doesn't within his body of works of course), so you never know what he could do in the ring with Moore, ha!
