Thank you!

I haven't heard about any future Batman movie items being in the works but my eye into the actual future only reaches so far. There will could be something happening but it's just not popped into the time line I'm privy to.

I haven't seen the final product yet for this piece, so I do not know.

With the recent release of the Hal Jordan statue we now have 2 Hal's and 2 Sinestro's (paint variants).
Are there any plans to expand into the Green Lantern hero and villain line? Say like Black Hand, Larfleeze, Lyssa Drak?
|
I'm only privy to products that are coming within the next year-ish and nothing Green Lantern is showing but perhaps something from that universe is in the works in the timeline I'm not in the know about currently.

She-Ra is the next one and the only one I'm aware of currently.

this will really help my decision making moving forward for future peices
Thanks

Items posted with a TBD will more often than not have a numbered edition size announced sometime in the future. Items posted with the 'Limited Edition' notation will not have a numbered edition made.

What I don't like is, Sideshow surprising us, not being transparent and upfront when I expect certain area's, like the head sculpt being one of them, to be fully polystone; Which only the portrait underneath the hood is polystone (Im assuming), and the hood surrounding it, being pvc.
Nowadays Im voting with my wallet. And the thought crossed my mind to return it. I don't like the deceitfulness, and unethical business practice that your company seem to think theyre getting away with. Our voices spread quickly through social media. And many have been cutting down our orders from 10 pieces a year to 1-3 a year with the rising costs, and the corners being cut on cheaper material, so your company can make a few extra bucks. It isn't right. These are supposed premium collectibles, with a premium price tag. I expect premium quality with these rising costs. If sideshow cant provide premium quality, then they should remove any label stating "premium" on the entire sideshow website. As of this moment, I only have one more PO left from sideshow. And I think Im done. Some honesty from your company would go a long way in keeping us loyal customers.
Just wanted to express my discontent. And it isn't directed at you Alex.

I'm so sorry to hear about your disappointment with Skeletor. PVC was used on much of his armor, small part of the base and some parts of the portrait for a few reasons:
Prevent breakage - some parts of the armor and portrait were done in polystone very early on but sadly sample after sample kept arriving with damage, so PVC was opted to be used to prevent breakage. This was also the case with the lava flow from the snakes mouth. In order to prevent any breaking the material was changed to a softer PVC.
Show details in a much crisper fashion. PVC simply shows off details better than polystone ever will and in the case of Skeletor's armor, it looked much more impressive/stunning/sleek in the end, so the switch to prevent breakage also upgraded the overall look of the armor.
I've of course passed long your disappointment and the message of wanting product pages to callout materials used. I do see that the materials (Polystone, metal, PVC, and fabric) used did not end up on the product page for Skeletor and I apologize for that..

|
Her head dress, hip/waist skirt/cape holders of her armor are not polystone. Her body/hands, breastplate, gauntlets, portrait, and base are polystone. Her staff is metal, she has a fabric cape and skirt and also a shiny red marble in her staff that I believe is made out of glass.

See my answer above to question 1 about Batman movie collectibles. This applies to this question as well.

I personally would LOVE a Teela Statue! At this time She-Ra is the only item I'm aware of that's next in the line.

I believe this was cleared up in the print thread but just in case...what was shown in those galleries were in house frames we used to swap in those prints for photography purposes. All framed artwork still comes with the same backing it's always had. So very sorry for the confusion that caused.

Many thanks for your time.

I know some of the Court characters ware getting revisits in the future but I don't know if Kier is one of them. I can take a guess and say that I wouldn't be surprised given her importance in Court of the Dead as a faction leader and such.

I am really looking forward to this reveal  |
Our focus is toward movie and comics for DC at this time. There aren't plans (that I'm aware of) to branch into the TV representations of DC characters.

Please see my answer to question 1 above about Batman movie collectibles. That answer would apply to this question too.

I'm only aware of just the turtles being made for this line. Haven't heard that it will expand past those 4 heroes in a half shell.

And my question is about Rey and BB8 Premium Format, the last time I heard of it, they should be expected for pre-order in November last year. Any news about when we will be able to pre-order them ?
Thank you very much.

That was the plan initially (to have them up for Pre-Order around that time but unfortunately they had to be delayed due to Rey's portrait getting some updates. We're now hoping that we can get them up sometime before May of this year. *crosses fingers*

Thank you! You're the best!

The only comic Iron Man that I'm aware of was already announced in the 1/5 scale Avengers Assemble line. I haven't seen anything in the future I'm privy to that has a 1/4 version. As for a Mark 3 or 7...at this time I don't know anymore. They were possibilities at one point from that tease from a while back but have fallen off the timeline I'm in the know about (which either means they are cancelled or were pushed much future into the future).

Like spider man for example

Hulk and Deadpool are the only Life-Size Marvel Busts I'm aware of currently but that doesn't mean other's aren't coming...just that I don't know at this time.
