Q&A
Q. HELLO SIDESHOW, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU GUYS ARE EVER GOING TO
MAKE HELMETS? LIKE STORMTROOPER, BOBA FETT, DARTH VADER,
SNOWTROOPERS?
A. eFX Collectibles is the place
to go for such helmet replicas. However, we plan to bring more of
these characters to life as figures and
busts!
Q. Will we ever see any Marilyn Monroe pieces by Sideshow, like a
Premium Format? You guys have done Elvis, John Wayne, etc. I would
absolutely love a Marilyn Monroe piece from you.
A. Marilyn is a classic, no doubt
about it, but Sideshow is unlikely to produce anything with her
likeness in the near future. She doesn’t really fit with our
current focus on monsters, aliens, superheroes, and
gore.
Q. I must give Sideshow a great compliment about the Battle Droids
and displaying the different ranks (commander, pilot, and security
droids) last year at Comic-Con. I think everyone was blown away! I
only hope you will give the security droid a darker red color and
then you are truly the best! In the movies you can see a darker
color red.
A. Roger roger! We’ll take another
look at the red coloring before we move the Security Droid into
production.
Q. Any chance we’ll ever see a Yuuzhan Vong from The New Jedi Order
in 1:6th scale or Premium Format?
A. At this point it’s doubtful,
the Vong might be a touch too fringe for our Sixth Scale line. We
considered the extremely cool armor and aesthetic design but
Yuuzhan would be a very ambitious character to realize in Sixth
Scale, and not quite as well known as some other character choices
that are likely to come first.
Q. Does the Zartan sixth scale figure change color?
A. Unfortunately no, our master of
disguise does not change color. We researched options extensively,
hoping to capture that magical effect from the best of the Kenner
days, but all modern solutions would force us to paint the skin in
a darker color, making Zartan look rather alien as the main
‘temperature’ look. In the end, we decided he looked best
without.
Q. WHY DON’T YOU MAKE MORE 1:6 SCALE SITH LORDS? DARTH REVAN, DARTH
NIHILUS, STARKILLER AND OTHER SITH LIKE THAT FROM THE GAMES AND
HISTORICAL TIMELINES? IF YOU DID, I (AND I’M SURE MANY OTHERS)
WOULD CERTAINLY BUY ALL OF THEM! THE DROIDS, CLONE TROOPERS AND
OTHER BASIC CHARACTERS LIKE HAN SOLO ARE BORING TO PEOPLE LIKE ME,
WHO ARE INTO THE DARKSIDE OF THE FORCE…THAT’S ALL, THANKS. (P.S THE
G.I JOE NINJA FIGURES ARE BADASS!!)
A. We absolutely should. They’re
all excellent characters, and would make fantastic Sixth Scale
figures. We would like to get to them all in due time. At the
moment, we’re baking up a new Darth Vader and Darth Malgus. And
thanks for the compliments on our Joes! Hey, Ninja + Sith = Darth
Maul, right?
Q. WILL YOU GUYS BE MAKING 1:6 GREEN LANTERN (COMIC VERSION THAT
IS)? BE THE FIRST TO ORDER IT!
A. Certainly! We’re investigating
a lot of cool ideas for accessories and have some rough concepts in
the works. We hope to see you at the top of our list when it
preorders!
Q. Hi, so happy you guys got the DC license! Just wanted to ask if
you guys will ever do Premium Formats or statues of Alex Ross style
Superman and Batman? Thank you for your time.
A. It’s a near certainty. We’re
big Alex Ross fans, and he has made too big an imprint on DC to NOT
represent him in our line at some point.
