I asked Sideshow's Star Wars project manager, Matt Bischoff, at Comic Con last Wednesday about the Vader they had teased, as well as a Boba Fett that would have been next in a series of planned sixth scale McQuarrie figures (he told me back in 2015 that the plan had been to release them in the opposite order of the statue releases), and he said that Vader and Boba Fett (and, presumably, a sixth scale McQ Stormtrooper) are indefinitely on hold. He said the McQuarrie statues sold well but not in the numbers they would need to move forward on articulated figures, which are much more expensive to make. Combine that with all the Star Wars movies and TV shows coming out and in the works, and thats apparently where Lucasfilm wants them to focus. He didn't want to rule out ever releasing the sixth scale McQuarrie Vader and the other figures they had designed, but it also sounded like the Obi Wan Mythos figure is probably the only "not seen on screen" figure we'll get for quite a while.These Live streams always crash for me, there wasn't any chance of getting the code the first time even if it was available for 5 minutes, managed to get the live stream back up and running after they announced it for the second time to nab my $3.
I asked a question in live chat but it crashed so I don't know if it was answered, any news on the Ralph McQuarrie Darth Vader Sixth Scale figure that they showed in 2015, then never to be mentioned again?
I'm getting really sick and tired of asking, I'm thinking of bombing their next live stream with the question over and over again to see if they'll finally answer. [emoji38]
