Disney premium format !!

[usswanker]

I was excited thinking that this was actually going to be something cool

Oh well

 

[The Josh]

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 company this is something that gives them great exposure to be associated with a giant like Disney.Great announcement.

There is a tone of possibility with the Disney license. They have done a ton of work over the years and many films I've enjoyed watching. There are products I will be tempted to get depending on how they come out. I just think this was something better served for a newsletter announcement than a build up over the last several weeks.

Business wise its a great move as it will pull in a brand new set of folks who are all about Disney. I know I will make sure to tell my friends who are major Disney collectors.

 

[choopie]

Awesome announcement! The possibilities are endless. I can't wait to see what Sideshow produces.

 

[Fel9]

Come on a classic b&w steamboat mickey would be really cool...

Well said. I think a lot of us were looking for a "toy geek" announcement, and instead we got an "excellent business strategy" announcement.

 

[Deeznutz6]

What a waste, all hyped up for this garbage.

 

[Josette]

There a few Disney characters that would tempt me...like Jack Sparrow, Scrooge McDuck and Darkwing Duck....but I would pass on all of them at this point. Financially I've made the decision to stick with my 12 inch figures so that I can continue to collect.

Anything from this line is a pass for me, no matter how awesome it might be. I do see why Sideshow chose it, though.

 

[Agent23]

People are awesome.

Arguably the BIGGEST license Sideshow has ever acquired and people are complaining. Disney, should of been in the regular newsletter? Are you serious?

I think this announcement is excellent.

Some people on this board would complain about winning the Mega Millions Lottery.

 

[kl241]

Watch they will only release one item under this license and squander it like they did with Jurassic Park.

Oh and whatever happened to World of Warcraft? Exactly.

 

[choopie]

So what exactly would constitute a big announcement like this if Disney doesn't qualify? Given Disney's legacy, Sideshow has quite a world of characters and movies to play around with. If we are talking starting from the days of Steamboat Willie and moving forward, this will be a major license for Sideshow for years to come with characters that appeal to a wide fan base.

I didn't expect this, but what Sideshow could potentially produce is really exciting.

Fairly. If it's not interesting to me its not gonna mean jack squat to me. Don't expect me to be excited for the Mousketeers. Would be different if I was on the selling side, I'm sure the company is excited, they have a right to be, it's probably a good new revenue stream, but to get me all hyped up just for some mainstream licensing victory is well, boring. To get me excited you have to announce something that I want.
Oh, and I'll take the lottery win over Disney.

 

[JRSly]

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.

I'm not gonna argue, cause like I said..I know nothing of licensing arrangements. Just from my layperson perspective it seems monstrously expensive to have a deal that covers absolutely everything with a Disney sticker in front of the brand name. And, again..I'm no historian, but I don't recall seeing a lot of other companies with an all-encompassing license arrangement, and if it was a possibility I wonder why not.

Yup, in my eyes this announcement is huge. Not only 'cause I'm hoping they do Pixar stuff, but just look at the catalog of classic characters disney has, animated or not. I foresee many a great thing for this license and I will be following it closely.

Dosen't GG have the Pixar license? Like I said, if they (Sideshow) can't get rid of the Disney stuff they already have for distribution, they won't be able to move their own creations. Reason being, theres just waay to much Disney (main characters) out there as it is.

Gentle Giant's statues are only 12" at their tallest and consist of only polystone. Sideshow's license I believe is for Premium Format Statues, which are much bigger and are mixed media.

My fingers are cross for a Rocketeer PF sooner than later but my wife is excited for a possible Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Narnia, Pirates and other possible princess offerings.

If they made a Davy Jones PF I think I'd crap my pants. While a quick letdown really thinking about how expansive of a license and how many different options there are its fairly interesting.

I also wonder...

What if they are possibly doing something for the newest Kingdom Hearts game?...Or would they need permission from Square-Enix?

Yep, but they won't bother with most of it, I bet you. It's only going to be what SS and Disney (you know they are bound to have right of approval) perceive as profitable.

I'm as serious as a heart attack. Their QC is continuing to go down so it won't matter now will it?

Its a cool announcement. Some ideas for loved ones as gifts I'm just not that super excited about it.

I wouldn't complain about winning the lottery. I may be picky but not that picky.
