DMM Moving on to the Premium Format Figure lines,
what are you most excited about, and it doesn’t have to be a Star
Wars piece?
BB You know I’m a Star Wars guy… Well, we were
talking about the C-3PO and R2-D2. These have been a labour of love
for three years, so I’m really excited to see them come together
and make it to fans’ hands. The other ambitions of Star Wars PFs go
in the tradition of Darth Talon. We have a couple of great females
coming up. I think those may have been teased already.
DMM Mara Jade has been mentioned, and I seem to
recall seeing some sketches for a Shaak Ti…
BB I think we’ve shown a little of Aayla Secura’s
design. She’ll be coming up real quick along with one of her lovely
female companions. Then we’ll be getting back into more armoured
and interesting Imperial stuff.
DMM Armour is more of a challenge, isn’t it?
BB It’s a lot of fun though too. The guys have
found their balance in terms of prop remakes and sourcing the right
materials. That’s such a weird hang up in Star Warsville, to get
everything just right.
DMM What about the science of marketing involved
in that? Darth Talon sold out faster than Darth Vader and is now
selling on the secondary market for close to a thousand dollars at
the same time Jedi Luke, which in my opinion is the quintessential
rendition of the character, is still available.
BB It’s a fan-based phenomenon. Star Wars is
unique. I think everyone has a favourite passion within it, whether
that is the classic trilogy, Prequel stuff, Expanded Universe
stuff, or just liking it all. We are constantly surprised and maybe
we should say as marketing stiffs that we planned it all, but Darth
Talon was just a passion play. We love this character. It’s a great
design and we had to do something with it. And it was just well
received and even better received when it shipped. So the question
in our minds is with a success like that, how do we follow it up?
How do we sate that appetite?
DMM Well, I hope the line doesn’t go too deep into
the EU while there are still too many iconic film characters left
to be done.
BB Darth Vader
and Boba Fett are way over due for a revisit. Some
folks never had an opportunity with the original ones, and for
others, the last time was 2005. Sideshow’s approach to product
design and planning for the next few years is really going to be
around making sure we can get around to the best characters of
every property but there are so many that it is essential that we
rotation of the main characters, but in a way that’ll still allow
us to play with characters such as Darth Talon or equally
interesting stuff that pops up here and there. We want to keep the
rotation so we are satisfying moderate fans, hard core collectors,
and everyone in between.
DMM What have you done with Darth Vader? You have
the life-sized bust, which is sort of an idealized version of the
character, the A New Hope 12” figure, a Revenge Of The Sith
pre-battle 12” figure, the A New Hope PF, and two A New hope bronze
statues, as well as dioramas with Vader in Revenge Of The Sith, A
New Hope, and The Empire Strikes Back. What about Return Of The
Jedi?
BB Return Of The Jedi is going to get a
loving representation in 1/6 scale next, followed closely by a
Premium Format Figure.
DMM The PF is designed to fit in with the Emperor
and Jedi Luke PFs?
