Interesting THE DEAD news on future products

[Le Fantome]

It'll be a bummer if the 12" line disappears...

The thing I'm most concerned over is this means we would now be down to just 2 active 1/6 lines from Sideshow (SW and GI Joe). While Indy is rumored to make a comeback it doesn't seem like there are any new ones coming from Sideshow.

For some time I've had this gut feeling that Sideshow will be getting out of the 12" business altogether - and probably sooner rather than later. Though I hope I'm wrong, it sure does seem like the writing is on the wall. They make so much more money with PF's and statues they probably plan to devote full time to that. And there is only so much time. Again, I'd prefer to be wrong on this one.

For years, I had naively hoped that they were going to produce A Roy from F13 part V

Used to feel the same way, but now only an ***** would think otherwise.

1/6th is the gateway drug!

1/6th is the gateway drug!

Although 1:6 products have never led me to wanting to buy different formats of collectibles, I've seen it happen on many occasions.

I absolutely felt like SS was going to get out of the 1:6 biz altogether, but then look at the list of all of the new bodied Star Wars aliens they said they are releasing this year (Gammorrean, Hammerhead, etc), and SW environments, and even 1:6 SW vehicles they are talking about. That's some serious coin to drop for such a cheap company, so they are at least sticking with their cash cow.

You'd think SW would help them to continue to do the smaller things like the DEAD, particularly since there is no license fee with that.

It seems like Star Wars and GI Joe are their only 12" lines anymore if the Dead is indeed dead
