2010 Sidehow Comic Con Exclusives

Off topic, but The Mike's footer graphic is, once again, HOT!

The DEAD Specimens are among the biggest busts (pun purely intended) in recent Sideshow history. How odd that would take up one of the SDCC Exclusive slots instead of a 1/6 figure.

My thoughts so far:
1) Spiderwoman bust (some variant)
2) Phase 1 Clone (some variant)
3) The Dead Specimen bust
4) AT-ST Diorama

Dosen't help that SS gave away butchers and Harbringers left and right during spook. Worst of it being giving away the newly released Butcher at SDCC

I hope we see more Dead 12" and that they haven't given up on the line.

When I saw the helmeted figure silouette, I thought "OMG SHREDDER!!!!!!"

The subsequent posts about Clone Troopers have shattered my hopes and dreams.

...3. Dead Head? Probably will be the most limited since SS still has stock of the original 200 left...

I don't know if I would say that; 3/4 of the edition sold out in the first few days they were released at Spooktacular, and the remaining quarter took just about 3 to 4 months to finish up. That isn't a bust to me, and a lot of other products that are considered successes, are still available after a much longer time period.

Saddest still is that those 2 are great figures... maybe the numbers were too large. Also, I think the came after the backlash against the variant overkill.

Sideshow expected the entire amount to sell out within minutes.

Also, with that limited an ES taking 3-4 months to sell out is bad. I can only think of the Elvis PF as an example or a worse seller with an extremely low ES.

I don't know if I'd say one of the worst. The thing that I hate to see with it being a bust is being a 1:6th collector and loving getting a new dead figure at SDCC. If we don't end up with one its gonna be a bit of a let down and I'm left to hope we see a new release set up for sale at the show.

If the launch of the DEAD Specimens line isn't one of the most disappointing/worst sellers in recent Sideshow history, then what is? Can you think of a worse performer with such a small ES? Like I said, I could only think of Elvis...

Its a niche line though so I don't know if expecting a crazy fast sale is a sure thing. I'm not a big fan of the busts as far as the dead line go.

Tremors Graboid maquette ES 100 (rumored only half were made)
Brundlefly ES 250 (still available after 3 years)
Martinfly ES 250 (still available after 3 years)
Blackbeard PF Ex ES 200 (60 still available after more than a year) (and this is one of the best PF's they have ever created!!!)
Dr. Zaius PF EX ES 200 (30 still available after more than a year)
Anakin VS Asajj Dio EX ES 275 (at least 90 still left)

I could go on and on...

I know... it does doesn't it? People think I'm strange for archiving product pages, newsletters, etc... and don't get them started on whether swag is "collectible" or not!!!

You should hear our convos our combined knowledge is kind of scary.

No HT exclusive this year???

We won't know Hot Toys plans for another few weeks. It is still up in the air. For now, we are focusing on the Sideshow items, and *may* add distributed exclusives at a later date if there end up being some (remember, we usually don't reveal these thing until May, so we are ahead of the game this year!)

Tremors Graboid maquette ES 100 (rumored only half were made)

This is a huge grail for me....

When was it even released?
