01-22-10 Q-n-A...some good stuff there!

[Darth Cruel]

With the re-affirmation that Grievous, R2-D2, and C-3PO are not a million parsecsaway in the 1:6 scale lines, Sideshow knocked out a killer Q-n-A today.

The Max Rebo band being worked on to add to the 1:6 scale Jabba display is pretty exciting as well.

I am particularly excited about Sideshow's interest (not intent...yet) to do the Probe Droid and some vehicles or creatures (they were not specific about which ones) in the 1:6 line as well.

I do hope the Wampa finds its way into the creatures line up, I love the design.

 

[FLOSI]

Hammerhead is getting a little love this year, but the love is definitely smaller than 1:1 scale (so far). He’s definitely a possibility for a future life-size bust but probably not this year.

Damn Cantina Aliens are going to break me....

That would be good, yes.

I was a little disappointed that the cyborg Maul from Visionaries is not intended for the 1:6 line. But if they do it in PF...it will look awesme with Talon!

I'm as big a fan of the EU as anybody else (who enjoys it), but I wouldn't buy a PF of that.

I wouldn't get that Maul, it's too crazy for me, but I would get a concept Maul.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Wow! That was a very impressive array of answers! Very exciting!

 

[Customikey]

Oh, hell no. The REBO BAND!?!?!? I am gonna be so broke. I cannot pass them up.

 

[UTtoyfan]

Anything that completes my Jabba 1:6 diorama is OK by me!!
Max Rebo band AND Gamorrean Guard!!!

 

[Memnoch]

Glad to hear about the Rebo band being with the original Sy Snootles. Now, no excuses Hasbro.

 

[MaulFan]

Here are the highlights I like for the 1/6 line.

- R2-D2 and C-3PO in development and likely for 2011.
- Episode I Obi-Wan and Episode II Anakin high up on to do list with likelihood in 2011
- Grievous in development
- Imperial Prode Droid good chance
- Gamorrean Guard not too far away from unveiling
- Sy Snootles and Max Rebo band moving into sculpture phase soon with a green light to use the 1983 Sy Snootles design
- Jango Fett will include Morrison portrait, and any Clones where the face is seen in Clone Wars or film

 

[agen_kolar]

Just about all of this is fantastic news! I'm especially excited for the Max Rebo band. Where am I gonna put all this stuff??

 

[Shropt]

Ice cream?!!? For me?!?! Oh man, you guys rock!!

 

[Isildur's bane]

And more importantly

Is a Chewbacca Premium Format a possibility?

Yes, it is a possibility. The more we discuss Chewie for the PF line, the more we lean toward a sculpted-fur version.

 

[galactiboy]

For some reason I'm not finding the full Q&A, just the specific section on C-3PO and R2 D2?

 

[Khev]

1/6 scale Rebo band (with original Sy Snootles, HECK YEAH!), General Grievous, and Hammerhead? Wow. We have some awesome previews ahead.

 

[MaulFan]

For some reason I'm not finding the full Q&A, just the specific section on C-3PO and R2 D2?

Yeah, it's not up yet or something, but you can did for it. I went to the ministry and found the Ask section and you can see it there.

[FlyAndFight]

The droids, Hammerhead, Probe Droid, Jango Fett and E1 Obiwan are fantastic to hear about.

The band and Gamorrean? meh...

 

[galactiboy]

Thanks!

And wow, what a lot of information to absorb!

Awesome to hear that they can do the non-SE band members

 

[MaulFan]

Yeah, I'm not sure why the change in format with the Q&A's but I like it, better to have lots of posts on one property, I never liked reading through the properties I didn't like to get to the stuff I wanted, now it's just Star Wars or just GI Joe, I hope they run with this as the new structure.
