A little off track, but here's a little story for Pixel. I had met the founders of Sideshow about the same time I first started working in licensing. It was at a small horror con in LA, maybe a Fangoria con, in the mid-ninties. They had a SMALL table set up and were passing out ad slicks for...

I just read this: "I suppose some jack-hole in prop production could have had a laugh painting up the mask in this lamebrain fashion." Dude. I don't even know where to begin. :lol

Everyone knows what Star Wars is but that doesn't equal sales anymore. It's crazy to think that Duck Dynasty is a much more lucrative brand to Wal-Mart than Star Wars. Can't say the same about Marvel or Turtles. That may change if they deliver a knock-out Star Wars movie in 2015-16 or...

It's hard to accept as a fan, but it's true. Relative to Marvel, Ninja Turtles, etc. How much NEW Star Wars product have you seen on store shelves this year, and actually sell, compared to Marvel and Turtles product? Hasbro's Star Wars product is DEAD and collecting dust. People blame it on...

You just instructed me to do 5 things in 1 post. I won't be doing any of them, thanks. The thing is, you don't work INSIDE the licensing business. You keep pointing everyone to press releases or google pages. When/if Hot Toys talks to Disney, Hasbro isn't going to jump in and say "But wait...

This pixelpiper guy blows me away. He always shows up in these threads like he has all the answers to EVERYTHING. Always telling members to take an afternoon off and search through all this posts and read all his golden words. Dude, NOBODY NEEDS SIDESHOW'S BLESSING TO MAKE STAR WARS TOYS...

Excuse me, sire, but I do have inside knowledge. As a matter of fact, I do it for a living. I wouldn't come on here and claim to be an expert in whatever it is that you do for a living. I have a pile of licensing deals on my desk that do everything you say is not possible. I'm actually...

What generally happens is this: Someone proposes a $200 die cast 1/6 scale R2D2 figure to Disney, along with all the business & manufacturing details. Disney decides whether or not it wants to be in the $200 1/6 scale die cast R2D2 business. They give the okay to proceed as no current license...

There was a time in the mid-late 90's when Toy Biz created prototype 6" Star Wars action figures with light up & talking electronic display stands. I was in a meeting with the Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker Bespin duel action figures. They were very cool and you have no idea how close that...

I feel I have to finally clear this up, because you're always saying this, and you're always wrong. Hasbro does not have exclusive rights to everything. If someone wants to produce a line of "1/6 scale die cast action figures, retailing for $200 - $500, for the Chinese market with global...
