Indy 12'' line on ''pause.'' OR The Future of the Sideshow 12" INDY Line

[SwedishHeat]

Sooooo, about that ToD wave with Mine Cart environment.

What the heck happened??

They're busy waiting on the HotToys Raiders Indy to drop.

From today's Q&A:

Q:With Episode I being released in 3D in theaters in 2012, will there be any EPI Sideshow representation? A 1:6 Jar Jar Binks or Anakin Skywalker would be very welcome, and it was said in the Indiana Jones Q&A that a 1:6 “kid” body was under development for Short Round that could be used for lil’ Annie.

A:Yah, our development on the Short Round has hit a snag, so the Annie likelihood may be a bit further off too....

I bet the 1:6 line is dead in the water. If Short Round isn't coming to pass that means that even the mine cart environment probably won't go anywhere.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I saw that too!

Although I'm still hopeful that the mine cart will be an accessory to a future Hot Toys TOD Indy.

 

[Wor-Gar]

A snag? You mean the HT attempt on Indy?

 

[IrishJedi]

You guys are ridiculous.

I wish we had the chance to purchase this one, but the comments make it sound doubtful.

That looks spot on!! Bring on some love for Temple of Doom!!!! I would buy that in a second.

he posted this one too:

I'm almost mad since it looks like we'll never see them produced!

 

[steveo]

I don't have a lot of love for that film, but that is a remarkable sculpt! Great job to the artist.

[paulcarson]

Wow ! They're awesome ! I hope that they see the light of day, I'd love them as figures.

 

[SwedishHeat]

Well, this certainly looks like SS is throwing in the towel. They said a while back that they were having problems developing the kid body for Short Round.

 

[mfisher]

gaaaaahhhhhh.... noooo.... I seriously want BOTH of those... even though KOTCS was not my favorite of the series.. a Spalko would have been seriously cool..... dang.... not to mention how much of a MUST have shorty would be...

 

[SkyIScrape]

I still maintain a thread of hope that we'll see some new Indy figures - beyond all rational reason. Hell, releasing Spalko would be a great way to showcase the new female prometheus body sideshow has been harping about on and off for the last two years.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Simply magnificent. Trevor is an amazing talent.

But I have to agree that it sounds like sideshow has moved on from the 1/6 Indy line. Short Round was really the last hope, since they mentioned developing the body and the mine cart. If they aren't going forward with Shorty, then it's unlikely they'll go forward with the line.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

What was keeping SSC from throwing the Shorty sculpt on a Hobbit body and calling it a day? It would have been perfectly acceptable and better than no Short Round at all.

 

[RIDDICK]

Trevor is an amazing talent.

AMAZINGLY TALANTED MAN!

 

[IrishJedi]

I'm pretty sure at least one of those was a private commission, because I've seen the custom figure in person (it's awesome, of course).

 

[chalkyYT]

short round is essential! he looks awesome

 

[jungle jom]

Sideshow's 1/6th Short Round figure is gonna look like this...
