I think the target market is different enough for these two pieces that they won't worry about losing PF sales by announcing this.

No doubt. Plus, we're talking about a significant gap in price between the two.
The LSF line is priced above the comfortable range of many collectors.

If this piece has a similar pose to the life size figure, it's going to be very tempting. I'll be finishing the original trilogy today with ROTJ and it's given me a serious itch for Star Wars collectibles.

I really hope they have just made this a nice simple pose. $2k is always going to be hard to swallow for stuff like this but I'd be tempted if he looks good.... And has an ES.

I agree, simpler the better. But I'll probably get this one even without an ES, as long as everything else comes out good.

I'm hoping that they have it on display at Star Wars Celebration

Here is the latest on this guy, he hasn't suffered the same fate as the 1:1 version fortunately.

I hope they're spending the time to come up with a pose where he does NOT have one foot placed higher than the other:

Can't deny they look great though...
I think people are a bit too over-focused on the "Captain Morgan"-pose. Sure, there's some truth to it. I mean, you can't deny that one foot is physically positioned higher than the other. But so what? Why does it matter so much that two statues from two completely different franchises both have their one foot above the other? If it still looks good in and on itself - I really don't see the big problem. I think this argument mainly comes from collectors that have a tendency of buying everything that is released. But I think the far majority of people don't care.
Just my opinion, at least.

I say it only because it is becoming well played out. A room full of these looks uninspiring, as if it was the same sculptor who did them all and ran out of ideas.

Some characters look best in a museum pose IMO. Vader is one of them. More of a symbol than a man. Give the dynamic poses to the lower level characters that need that "something extra".

Well technically Boba and Vader have one foot BELOW the other 
I actually think that there is merit to that.

I agree with the simplicity of a base and having them be more like museum poses. I know people complain against museum poses, but I think it goes along with what makes a great statue is a great display pose and keeping the huge bases and weird poses for the posable lines. With a statue you got one shot at making the one great pose that makes it powerful. Sideshow's have been a real hit or miss and can ultimately make or break the sale for me. I think a simple base and one great museum pose keeps it looking classiest for me.

Is he on display at SDCC? I would think he would be considering no one even knew about a Legendary Iron Man AOU and its on display.

Yup. We need more info on this piece. I hope they haven't scrapped it.
I didn't see this. Legendary scale IM and Prime 1 Dark Knight Joker were the only 1/2 scale pieces I believe...
