Sideshow Q&A
Q. Would you ever make more musicians like you did with Elvis? I was thinking maybe Bon Jovi, Chris Daughtry, Eminem, Steven Tyler, Jason Wade, or Chad Kroeger. What do you think?
A. We used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now we’re lucky if we can find half an hour a week in which to get funky.
Q. HEY GUYS, I WAS HOPING THAT SEVERAL THINGS COULD BE CONFIRMED IF THAT IS OK. WHEN WILL WE SEE RING WRAITH ON STEED, CAVE TROLL, JUGGERNAUT AND SAURON PREMIUM FORMAT UPDATES?
A. You’ll see the Dark Rider of Mordor Premium Format figure between now and SDCC 2012. Cave Troll and Juggy are having a contest to see which beefcake, big boy will appear next, and so far it’s a pretty even battle. As for Sauron – well, a dark lord will appear precisely when he is ready, and not a moment before.
Q. DEAR SIDESHOW, I AM VERY EXCITED THAT NOW SIDESHOW HAS THE DC LICENSE TO MAKE US TONS OF SUPERHEROES AND VILLAINS FROM THE DC UNIVERSE, WHICH HAS LOTS OF AWESOME BAD GUYS LIKE AMAZO! IS THERE ANY PLAN TO MAKE AN AMAZO PREMIUM FORMAT DISPLAYING OF HIS COPIED JUSTICE LEAGUE POWERS?
A. Amazo is a fun villain indeed, and definitely offers up a number of diverse looks for consideration. He’s on our minds, and likely to come after we give the due respect to some of the bigger names, like Luthor, Darkseid, and ol’ Starro.
Q. HI SIDESHOW. ARE THERE ANY ALIEN WARRIOR LIFE-SIZE BUSTS OR OTHER ALIEN BUSTS COMING? I’D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE ONE IN MY COLLECTION. ANY CHANCES?
A. We’re in the midst of exciting design work on some new life-size versions, but mostly we’re looking at Alien Legendary Scale Busts coming soon. Mostly.
Q. I’VE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR THE NEXT SIX GUN LEGENDS PREMIUM FORMAT FIGURE! IS THIS LINE OF FIGURES KAPUT? BUTCH CASSIDY IS MY GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER (NO LIE!), AND I NEED A PREMIUM FORMAT STATUE OF HIM. A SUNDANCE KID COMPANION PIECE WOULD BE INCREDIBLE. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE MY FAVORITE COLLECTIBLE COMPANY OF ALL-TIME, HOW ABOUT A PORTER ROCKWELL?
A. It’s true, the Six Gun Legends line is on hiatus. While we love to think of ourselves as taste-makers, and there’s certainly a LOT of history buffs and Western fans in the Sideshow offices, the market has given us a clear directive to focus on other sights in the near future; namely space operas, superheroes, pixelated protagonists, and creeps and villains. We’ve set aside the Westerns, for now but there’s no telling when the winds might change.
