Thanks again Alex, for everything!!

In a previous response to another poster I'd mentioned that a Bust was looking to becoming an actual product but that's changed and it's still up in the air whether it will or not. Perhaps one day.
A statue would be far more likely to occur than a Bust at this juncture but we'll see.
As for a print...it's possible (as so many other characters from the Underworld could end up with prints for them too) but in the end I don't have a yes or no answer...just that's it is possible.

2) Also, a lot of fans were disappointed with the modern costume choice for the new Black Cat PF and were hoping for a classic variant. Have you heard if there's been any thought or possibility of a variant Black Cat in the classic costume, or is that impossible?

1. I really don't know at this time if the current Spider-man PF line will see more additions to it or alternates, such as a spidey in a different suit. I'm only aware of what's already been released. Given the popularity of the Spider-man verse I'd imagine there will be more of him (and possibly other characters) in the future though!
2. A variant of the recently released Black Cat in a classic costume is not in the works.

Any chance of a variant of the new Aquaman print with his beard and hook hand (ie. his EX look)?

No variant of that print is expected.

Would you be able to find out the material used for it?
Thanks as always!

I won't know the final material breakdown for this piece for many months since it's only just in the earlier stages of the production process. Given the position of the arm (and since it's a switch out) it would need to have a lighter material used. Hopefully I'll have the final breakdown around August or September of this year if the item remains on track to ship between November - January.

I'm not in the know as to why he's taking longer to get to. I know he's a very liked character with many here, so it's not for lack of love for sure.

Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead)
Tessek (Squid Head)
Ree Yees
Nien Numb
Also, some bigger busts (if possible)
Jabba the Hutt
Tauntaun
thanks!!
Considered it passed along. :-)
Thanks Alex! Can you share if the next Star Wars life size bust will be up for Pre-Order in 2017?
|
There's a possibility of something for 2017 but it could slip to 2018 if it has to be delayed.

|
We're currently not carrying Hot Toys' Cosbaby items and there isn't an expectation that will change. I so want any of Beauty and the Beast ones they might release, so I'll have to be on the lookout to get them from somewhere. *fingers crossed*

I'm wondering if there will ever be one too! I know I'd want one! I know she wasn't very embraced after episode VII was released but I still have hope she'll have a bigger role to play in the series and I just love her armor/design.

looked very nice to me,
my only suggestion would be rotate his right hand (force choke) to his left.
to where the palm is facing the side more and not upward,. other han that, its killah. i NEED IT!!!!!  |
The prototype at SDCC was of The Terminator Maquette, which is available for Pre-Order now:
Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton Maquette The T2 one still has yet to be finished/released.

X-Men pieces will not be coming in great abundance but they will trickle out over time. There is an X-Men piece expected to be done and up for order in 2017 if it remains on track though!

I'm only aware of She-Ra at this time. If there are others are in the works they are beyond the time line that I'm made privy to.

I'm so sorry you were having issues getting a response back. Was everything resolved? Please let me know if it wasn't and I'll have it looked into right away.

The Iron Man teases from 2 years ago now (maybe longer actually) aren't happening. There is more Iron Man expected for the future but what suits, if they are comic or movie, etc is info I'm not in the know about.

The prototype is still being created. Hopefully it will be fully done/approved within the next few months.

It is a method that will be used on future PFs but only where it makes sense to do so/or can be used (such as the recent Green Lantern and Catwoman pieces).

Have you got an idea of how tall will be K2 ?
Will BB8 PF have a blue flame on the top of his thumb-up exclusive, it doesn't have one on your pictures like he has in the movie ?
And for Rey, do you know if her head will be detachable ?
Thank you for your time.
|
K-2S0 should be up for Pre-Order by summer or before if he remains on track. I'm not sure of his exact height but he should be pretty tall.
BB-8 will not have a sculpted blue flame on his 'thumbs-up' option.
Sorry, but I don't know the breakdown of how Rey will break apart for shipping purposes at this time. I should know when it's closer to her shipping time frame.

This is something that is being explored but not 100% confirmed as happening at this time.

Fwiw if more characters are going to be offered I would be more inclined to pick up the Superman print in the hopes of picking up a few more in the future...Cough.. Batman and WW...Cough ..  |
Future Alex Ross prints will more often than not be the normal 18x24 size offered. There could be unique offerings size wise (such as the Superman and Captain America ones) as but it would be few and far between.

So then why doesn't Sideshow release more PF's per year to get the new character's from the newer movies out of the way so we can finally get to the older stuff fans have been asking for for years? Is it Disney limiting too many characters from being made in a year? Is it Sideshow limiting themselves from creating so many per year? Is there some form of negotiation between Disney and SS on who wants what character made, how many characters per year to be made, and/or what characters should not be made? Or Does Disney dictate and Sideshow simply follows orders?
Thanks much!

We can only produce so many collectibles in any given year as there is a work load capacity for artist(s) to create designs, sculpt, paint as well as caps for how much can realistically be manufactured in a year time frame. As such each license can only have so many characters produced in any given year. Episode VII and Rogue One took up quite a few spots in 2016/2017 but there are still OT characters in the works that should be ready to show sometime this year!

I'm so sorry that you've had issues getting through via our phone system. We switched to an entirely new phone system a couple of months ago and there are issues that are still being resolved with it (especially instances in which people cannot get through to a voice mail to leave a message). These very frustrating phone issues for customers, and very understandably so, should be resolved in the next few weeks (at least that's the hope) but if you still haven't been able to get though via our phone system please feel free to email or use our live chat feature (when it's available). If you find you haven't received any response back by 5 business days after sending in an email to our Customer Service department please feel free to PM here with your customer details and I'll get back to you right away with updates regarding your communication(s). Again, so very sorry for the frustration in trying to get ahold of us via phone.

We always recommend to not keep collectibles in any really high or really low temperatures, keep out of direct sunlight, do not submerge in water or get water/liquid on your pieces, and always be careful when moving any item.

As of now codes from the same batch can only have one code per batch be used per customer/account. Perhaps that will change in the future but for now it is just one per customer/account. So very sorry for any frustration that has caused.

I'm sure there are a lot of classic DS fans that would love to own a classic PF. SSC did it for Sabretooth so I'm hoping beyond hope that the same can be done for DS.

No variant is planned for the Deathstroke PF. Perhaps he'll be revisited in the future with a different look but I don't know whether he would be or not.
