Disney premium format !!

Wait... what... what!?!

 

[theguru1]

Umm yes they do. They bought Pixar in 2006.

hmm, so they do, I stand corrected, guess that one just slipped past me, or I just forgot.

I wonder how you'd make a PF Nemo, haha.

 

[The Ringer]

I smell more pirates!

I am afraid of the costs though. IMO Disney is worse than Lucasfilm.

 

[theguru1]

Disney's live-action and animated film library is staggering. This line could have AMAZING potential.

Yes, it is, just from an animated point of view.

However, I just though of something else, if this is a FULL possible Disney license, from memory, Disney own the Jim Henson company, so say it with me....

The Dark Crystal PF's

At the end of the day, we really need clarification from SS as to what exactly they mean by "Disney PF's", otherwise the mind could just boggle.

 

[Aerosmith]

Disney just owns the Muppets. The Jim Henson Company still owns The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Fraggle Rock. Which sucks becuase I want a Jareth PF.

 

[Ktjn]

Aren't they already selling/distributing animated disney stuff from other companies, to which they can't get rid of?

POTC was good, until they made a sequel. If GG,NECA,ect can't get rid of their sculpts/products, SS won't.

The muppets would probably sell.

ahh, ok, they split it up, bugger. O'well, can't have everything.

 

[The Ween]

Fingers crossed for rabid Old Yeller getting shot dio

You are sooooo bad!

 

[The Ween]

I'd be interested in a Jack Sparrow, but that would probably be it as far as a Disney PF. And you can figure since Disney has their hand in it, the cost would be $500.

 

[Darklord Dave]

This was my thought as well.

I really doubt Sideshow has the right to absolutely everything under the Disney banner. I'm no licensing expert, but I doubt things would be sold like that. That's just too many franchises and characters to be sold as one gigantic package.

Yes, I'm expecting this to be about the animated films. No Pirates, no Pixar.

Actually the licensing means exactly that - just about anything that's a fully Disney production is possible. Anywhere from Snow White to Cap'n Jack with Buzz Lightyear thrown in for good measure.

Disney actually dumped the Narnia franchise today
It's being shopped around to other studios, so I'd guess that's a no-go.

They decided not to move forward with the 3rd film - but they still own the distribution rights to the first 2. However that was a co-production with Walden, so it's possible Narnia isn't under the umbrella.

And yes, I forgot about Jessica Rabbit, love a PF of her, Mulan would be cool too.
This could really hurt my bank balance and display space, will have to wait and see what comes up.

Jessica Rabbit, Maleficent, Captain Hook, Ariel, Mary Poppins, Belle & the Beast - there are a ton that I'd want.

 

[Silent December]

Doesn't Disney already sell large 1/4 scale "big figs" like the Jedi Mickey and these?

https://www.register123.com/event/profile/web/index.cfm?PKwebID=0x85786a607

I've seen these at the Disney parks for 150-175$, How much is a PF nowadays? 250-350$?

 

[theguru1]

Jessica Rabbit, Maleficent, Captain Hook, Ariel, Mary Poppins, Belle & the Beast - there are a ton that I'd want.

Could you just imagine a full 1/4 scale Beast, with full real fur, sculpted under body and face and then complete costume over the top.
Unfortunately I can also picture how complex and expensive it would be, but still.

I'm just a huge Disney animated feature fan, in fact I remember even sending in a product suggestion email for the likes of Ariel and Belle in PF format, so its sounding like just maybe I could get my wish.

Only down side is that this could really hurt the old bank balance.

Anyone sayin ''yawn'' at this obviously hasnt checked all the possibility of this annoucement.POTC obviously but theres so much more...I think its one of Sideshow's biggest announcement in years,bigger than anything SW or Marvel related...As a collectibles compagny this is something that gives them great exposure to be associated with a giant like Disney.Great announcement.

 

[Nocturne]

Would be great if it caused some high end Nightmare Before Christmas collectables to be made making them closer to the actual maquettes used in the making of the film.

 

[Memnoch]

I'd actually be down for a Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey from Fantasia.

 

[Bonehead15]

This announcement is awesome!!


I can think of tons of characters that I'd buy as a PF.


NBX and POTC are defintely on the top of my list.


Who knows...this could possibly lead to other Disney lines in the future like dios and busts.

I totally agree!!!! I would think that signing up with a MONSTER like Disney would cost a FORTUNE!!! Congrats Sideshow!!! Can't wait to see what is to come

 

[creature4000]

This is a very cool anouncement!!!!!

That said I think the price of these will be huge just because of the Licence.

 

[Shai]

Yes, I think so too.

 

[Nocturne]

a 1:1 scale malefacent would be excellent, just imagine the size of those horns
