More Alien projects are in the works and could be up for Pre-Order sometime in 2017 (if said projects aren't halted/delayed to a later time frame for some reason). What they will be I am not at liberty or allowed to say.

No Mongul that I'm aware of, sorry.

We all really appreciate you being back in the ask anything thread! Thank you!

These items are far too new to have an update regarding any additional light-up features. I'd ask again when those items get closer to their shipping time frames.

Like Boba Fett

Always a possibility characters will be revisited in this format. Vader was (for example).

I honestly do not know about a future Nightwing. I know there are some Sideshow folks that really like that character, so we'll see a PF in the future!

The only X-Men related piece expected up for Pre-Order this year is the Hulk Vs Wolverine Maquette.

But here goes another one.
I know people ask about this in the past, but do you know/ can you tell if those court of the dead 1:1 bust will eventually turn into products that we can buy?
|
There's a possibly that one of the two Busts will become a product...specifically Relic Ravlatch Bust (the crusade knight character).

|
Yes, your order (and anyone that received a refund and hasn't cancelled themselves after their refund) is still active. Reward points were not refunded as the orders are still considered active.

It should remain stain free and not turn yellow if the correct upkeep is done once the piece is in hand (i.e.: only touched with clean hands, kept away from areas that would get dirt or debris on it, etc).
The prototype is done at this point and is just starting the manufacturing process, so changes (such as changing the fabric skirt to fully sculpted) are very unlikely at this point in the pieces journey.

Sorry about the confusion that caused but the preview was off the site for a couple of days in preparation for the updated preview (that can now be seen on the site).

1. Hope ya liked what you saw with the reveals of Bane and the turtles at SDCC.
2. Bane SHOULD be up for Pre-Order before the end of the year but that's just an estimate at this time. Until the piece is fully painted and approved then it's exact Pre-Order time frame is in estimate mode and not in a locked mode.

More such faceoffs are being looked into (as stated by Igo in another thread) but I'm unaware of what licenses they will be from or what characters they will be.

Or has the original T2 maquette been switched to the T1 maquette and we won't be seeing a T2 version. Please see pic of the initial T2 Endo announcement.

Thank you in advance for the clarification.

It's still happening. This recent release just ended up being done before that one.

Just the one head sculpt was shown at SDCC. But y'all should be able to see the full alternate head sculpt in the future (if ya already didn't see part of it in a behind-the-scenes photo blog that went up just recently).

They were just made specifically for display purposes at conventions. There aren't plans to make them actual products.

Thanks!

Since the introduction of Court of the Dead the story of Mortighull changed and that particular version of him was deemed a later incarnation of him, so another version of him is being worked on for reveal and release on Pre-Order in the future. The original look of him (as shown at previously) is an on hold item at this point with a TBD for Pre-Order release.

The queen could be revisited in the future. The Queen's Embrace artwork is an artists interpretation of the character and shouldn't be seen as a design of a future statue.

Thanks!
|
I don't know the breakdown as to how this item will ship to customers, so I'm unaware if the blades will be removable or not. I will know that about 2/3 months before the item begins shipping to customers though.

Prime 1 would have made that decision between them and DC (regarding having her displayed at their booth). DC also had a large display of various Wonder Woman costumes on display, so having their Wonder Woman statue there seems very appropriate. That said, we wouldn't have had the room to display her at the Sideshow booth (they used every display inch they had at the Sideshow booth), so we are of course very happy that they were able to have that item on display at DC. :-)

Once we have a final shipping sample in house (which should arrive a month before it begins shipping to customers) we'll take new photos to send out to customers to see what has changed. I have seen an early sample and the change that occurred is the paint scheme to the construct part of his base. Hopefully people will like the new color scheme that's used.

A Venom has never been officially confirmed on the site through an official preview/announcement, so I don't know of what Venom you speak. I do know that he is a very beloved character for some round these parts, so I'm sure he'll be revisited in the future for sure!

I have a few questions to ask now that SDCC is coming to a close.
1. I know that back in 2014 Sideshow renewed it's DC license for a further 3 years. That would make 2017 the final year for the current license. With certain pieces missing can we be sure the DC license will get renewed?
2. After Catwoman (Black Costume) POed in 2014 it has been a two-three year wait, assuming Croc/Bane go up for order late this year or early next, to see another Batvillain/Family member. Do you know if the wait will be the same in between PO's for the next Bat characters?
3. The Flash was surprisingly absent from this year's Comic Con. We've already had multiple iterations of the trinity, two Green Lanterns and Aquaman. Do you know if he's being worked on and if there are any issues with the design that might point as to why we haven't seen him?
4. Jumping to Marvel, We've seen quite a few characters being made that are lower tiered as of late but one omission in 1/4 scale being a comic Ghost Rider, an news on if that is being worked on?
5. Sticking with that theme, most of the major Avengers villains have been done but a comic Loki is still missing, any word on that?
6. On the horror front, With the reveal of Hellpriestess, if she sells well, is it possible to have more Hellraiser themed statues in the future? Side bar, Has Sideshow thought about getting input from Clive Barker? He does live in California.
7. Last question, With Jason/Freddy/Pinhead/Leatherface all being in the Sideshow horror stable and now shown, does Sideshow have plans to gain more horror Characters such ass Michael Myers, Pennywise(new tv show on the way), Regan McNeal(new Exorcist show on the way) or any others?
Thanks in advance you're the best!
|
1. The DC license should extend beyond 2017.
2. Besides recently announced Bane, Killer Croc, Huntress, and Black Canary..there aren't any new Batman-verse related characters expected to be up for Pre-Order in 2016 but more are in the works for the future!
3. I don't know any news about a Flash PF, sorry. I do know that he's a possibility.
4. Ghost Rider is a possibility for the future for sure!
5. Loki (comic) isn't off the table but isn't one I'm aware of being in the pipeline for the next few years. Maybe sometime after 2018.
6. More Hellraiser items are a possibility if Hell Priestess does well. Hell Priestess is a piece that was done with input by Clive Barker, so we certainly do like to partner up with him when it's his property.
7. We do love horror and there are more items within that genre on the way. We do not hold the license for Halloween, Exorcist, or IT, so no Michael Myers, Regan, or Pennywise at this time (nor expected for a few years) but who know what could happen in the future.

They don't form a diorama but they each have a sewer themed type base that should make them look really good when displayed altogether!

Can't wait to see what you have to show next year.

Rocket and Groot should be up for Pre-Order in 2016. Star-Lord is more of a possibility of an add to the team at this point then Drax or The Thing.
And so very happy to hear you enjoyed this year's reveals!

All those items SHOULD be up for Pre-Order before the end of this year unless they have to be delayed for some reason.

It MIGHT be up for Pre-Order in 2016 since it ended up being finished far earlier than originally expected but I wouldn't be surprised to see it up for Pre-Order in 2017 since it coming in early doesn't mean it can start the manufacturing process early.

Sorry, even with Hot Toys with use during SDCC doesn't mean they will share their solicitation plans with us. We'll know that piece is available for Pre-Order on the day they put up news about it. :-)
And thank you for the congrats! Glad you liked what was shown off!
