If we exclude armored or yet to be produced by Sideshow figures, I think Padme is a good bet for the Ep. II figure. Her AotC outfit is probably the most "action figure-y" version of her from all three movies, and as a central character, it's a good bet she'd be high on their list.
 
Maybe a SS Dooku means a new Qui-Gon since they are talking about getting the body size right. Christopher Lee is 6'5" and Liam Neeson is 6'4". Sam Jackson is 6'2", but could also use a new Mace Windu.

I'd love to see the entire line of the core humans come from Hot Toys -- OT (Luke, Leia, Han, Lando, Ben) PT (Anakin, Padme, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Mace), but I wonder if Sideshow considers it too lucrative to hand over. Crap if SS would just get their headsculpts up to par I'd be more than happy to see them keep punching away. The problem is that side by side HT kicks SS butt.

I don't think anyone can get Chewbacca right, without either making it look Hasbro-ish, or a fluffy mess. :huh

The task is set anyway - if HT can replicate Chewie's fur the way they can sculpt detailed hairstyles etc - I'd go for that option. If they go rooted - no thanks.

They did a fine enough job with their Planet of the Apes figures, so Id really like to see them tackle Chewie, but Im sure by that time we will be looking at a $300-$400 price tag.
 
Yeah.. the POTA example - I know. The difference with those however is, that they're not covered in hair from head to toe - they have uniforms.

You can somewhat control faux hair, if it's used sparingly - as in the case of those figures.. but Chewie? I have little to no faith in anyone achieving a pleasing result at this stage.

I dont see how a full body suit over a specially tailered True Type body would be a problem for HT to achieve. If they can get the head to look right is the major deal. Body with fur shouldnt be that tough for them imo.

It still says 299$ in my order total.(in the online summary) Should it say 269 with the 30 deposit?

(never ordered anything through SS with a deposit before)

Ya your deposit is included with the final sale price. So if you throw down the 30$ deposit you ow 269$ for the figure when they charge you.
 
Please let them make a non comic based announcement soon. You know what I really hate?

Those posts where they repost bloggers' pics of figures. We can see them anywhere, yeah non-board members can see them but it's bloody annoying when they waste their one post a fortnight on that.

I could see a "Future DX SW Figure" announcement to accompany the Bespin Luke Release.

Or possibily Robocop or BttF, but thats wishful thinking.

Im wondering where the hell that Ichabod Crane is that was teased last year! With Spooktacular coming he could be next? Another wishful thinking on my part...
