I think that was just a tongue-in-cheek response to the people who were critizing the sculpt, saying that the eyes were too small.

But you never know!

 

[Darth Rage]

Qui Gon is getting a lot of love lately between MR and GG. But I'm pulling for Sidious!

 

[LOTRFan]

Aayla was mentioned too , but when will the EU figure be presented?

 

[Buttmunch]

I doubt its any of them now. Sideshow has never given that good of a hint before. So its not Qui-Gon, Leia, Lando, Alaya, or a Sith. So who is it?

 

[Wor-Gar]

It Will Be Dooku!!!..............."Sith Lords Are Our Speciality".............Said Obi To Palpantine Very Clear In EPIII Revenge of The Sith.............

You guys really do read a lot into these things. Has any "analysis" of cryptic messages in past newsletters ever panned out as a true clue?

I think the only Sith you'll see next week is the simple announcement that the SITH line will begin next -- maybe even an "Order of the Sith" banner -- but no clue as to which of the four Darths you will see at the end of March. They'll keep the suspense going on this line. After all, they only have four figures to do (and maybe, just maybe, Asajj).

I still think next week's figure will be one of the figures they directly mentioned in the newsletter and that are in the poll -- Leia, Lando, Qui-Gon.

Well... I seem to remember a cryptic clue about a little "dillemma" awaiting the first few people who ordered the Hulk vs. Spider-Man diorama. That panned out pretty well for me! Many of us have learned to take their clues seriously...

I hope you're right, tomandshell. I would love a Sith next.

We'll all know in a week.

The Emperor went bang when Vader threw him down that shaft.

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

Dooku or Palpatine for sure.

I think Dooku (Darth Tyranus) so you can recreate the duel on the begining of ROTS since Ani and Obi are already planned. Removable head exclusive?

 

[Batty]

When asked about the Sith during Toy Fair, Tom Gilliland said: "Keep your eyes and ears at the ready". This is the first post-Toy Fair announcement.

And he did "trick" people, and he did say the word "the", and that word appears in the newsletter! My god, I think we're on to something...

Brilliant!!


I think Anakin and Obi-Wan are meant to be fighting each other, not Dooku.

But didn't he also say that we'll see one more figure from HOTR or OOTJ, then...THEN we'll get a Sith.

I can't imagine SS would be willing to make us distrust what Tom says by pulling a fast one next week just because we've guessed the figure already.

We all guessed Obi-Wan and Mace at their respective releases and SS didn't pull a switch.

Unless they are announcing two figures at once.....

A sith and a HOTR.....

But what could be hotr than a Sith?

 

[gdb]

Dooku or Palpatine for sure.

I think Dooku may be this year. The time is right. I mean, he's not going to get any more desirable as time goes on. And IMHO since Ani is in the Jedi line, he and Obi are meant to be friends. If Sith Eyes Ani becomes the SDCC exclusive, I would want him to be in Sith packaging. Oh, how the MIB people would want him!

Removable head, removable hands... stumps galore!!

LOL you guys are cracking me up!!!

 

[FlyAndFight]

I think everyone is barking up the wrong series tree...

I don't think the figure will be Leia, Lando, or any of the "Darths"...

At the risk of hitting Sideshow's expected curveball, my guess is that it will be the announcement of the "Military Series" and what else to kick it off than none other than a Classic Stormtrooper!

And while I'm at it, the exclusive item will be the humongus blaster rifle (regular imperial blaster will come with both regular and exclusive figures.)
