Bergholtz Goes Direct...

[Zakk Attakk]

*Zakk rips out own eyeballs*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Dude, no.. No..

 

[Zakk Attakk]

This is the worst thing to happen to the SW 1/6 line since Bespin Han.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Bummer, but Andy is going to a good home, right? Is it more stability Andy? If you don't mind me asking what put them over the top? $? Good luck man!

 

[Captain Faramir]

The saddest news I've heard all year.........

Andy! We'll miss you!!!!!!!!!!

Man im stoked to see a Burgholtz Super Girl statue!!!! Get 'er done Andy!

 

[FrankenFan]

I'd like to see Andy's take on a Gil Kane Silver Age GL — they both have/had a way with hair:



Oh. Crap. The missle is yellow!

 

[ta2215]

It is a great lost for Sideshow! I guess I will start buying some DC statues now!

 

[The Godfather]

I am speachless :hang

 

[Fubeca]

:eek what I really meant to say is :eek I mean :eek or :eek and :eek also :eek including :eek Holy :eek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Darklord Dave]

It's very disappointing, although I buy a lot of DCD stuff as well. Love what Andy did with the Shazam! head.

If you were a sculptor that could do portrait sculpts that are picked apart by fans and never truly appreciated unless they're perfect (as many of Andy's are )

OR

you could interpret comic book characters that don't really have likeness issues - which would you choose?

 

[dekadentdave]

That's BS. Most of Andy's sculpts are so good they are above criticism. I know I am very critical about each and every figure I purchase from Sideshow because of my passion for the characters' likeness but Andy's were always the best of the crop. I loved his X-Files and Bond sculpts. This just gives me even more of a critical eye to nitpick Sideshows sculpts from their less-than-Andy-talented sculptors.

Feels like someone just died. I feel empty inside all of the sudden. Depressing.

 

[Zakk Attakk]

I agree, decadent one.

 

[Lembas Eater]

Well, Congratulations Andy! Good luck to you! It will be sad for us at times but hopefully SS can pool some new talent as well.

And now I get to pressure you for a 1/4 (Neil Gaiman's) SANDMAN statue/figure!!!

And as always, feel free to continue to hang out here!

 

[Fritz]

Well that really sucks and makes me sad.

Good luck to you Andy. Hopefully one day you'll be back. I really enjoy your work.

Also, you do realise Hulk is a Marvel character, not DC? It has nothing to do with the fact the Superman defeated Hulk does it?

 

[Darth Rage]

Bad news for sideshow, good news for DC. Best wishes on continued success Andy. I'm looking forward to the ultimate batman I have always craved.

 

[galactiboy]

Aw man... when I saw this thread earlier today I really hoped that it was just freelancing. What a loss to Sideshow Not really a huge fan of DCD, but I'm sure you'll get to sculpt some really cool stuff, literal icons of the comicbook world and I imagine that would be quite a great opportunity.

Definitely wish you the best, although its sad that we won't be getting too many more of your fantastic 1/6 headsculpts for Sideshow.

 

[Bonehead15]

Sad news indeed.

Andy's SS pieces are some of my favorites.

I'm kind of glad now that I've cut down on my SS purchases.

On the other hand, I am a huge DCD fan so this is good news in a way.

 

[pjam]

Thank god AB got the Terminator figures done before he left...

And I hope he did at least three SW OT sculpts for '07.

 

[TOE]

i wonder if Ray and Andy got something cooking up?
