Thanks Atom and Saffron!

Adam, that was priceless! And Allison, thanks for your time and patience with us.
*clamorclamorclamor*
You know we love the stuff you guys put out, and every single point made in both your posts is valid, and then some. I just came off two and a half months of translating books and writing reviews under insane schedules, and there's no need to explain how much dedication it takes to do the job not only quickly, but PROPERLY, too. And as my reward is getting to meet the authors face to face, I really do my damndest to be able to look them in the eye. (That goes for both the novelists and the filmmakers, actually.)
I've long suspected that Sideshow are stretching themselves too thin with all the new license announcements, btw. Someone is going to have to sculpt all that, while the existing properties languish! So I hope for two things -- first, that more Trevors Grove and Andys Bergholz pop up in America, despite all the odds, and second, that Sideshow put a lid on new license announcements for this year. Okay, they have Indy and Marvel, that should tide them over, right? Perhaps two of the new ones are the Iron Man and new Hulk movie licenses, and this could dovetail nicely with the stuff they're already doing.
And may they never again put an Adam Hughes project on the back burner just because someone mis-sculpted the Gandalf the White PF's head! As a matter of fact, with that one as a reference, I can't imagine the stuff that didn't pass the licensor's approval.
Aragorn does rock, though. Even if it was at the expense of an AH! comiquette.
Here's to more of your incomparable work, Adam. And hug those puppies for me, you two.

yeah that is due to the problems and it is in fact one of their biggest selling lines. I said one of the biggest not the biggest

I'm sorry; I think the Adam Hughes comiquettes, while nifty and all, are no where near thier greatest selling line. 3 statues at $125 each hardly compares to all the Star Wars 1:6 scale figures, the Lord of the Rings, all the Buffy-verse stuff....
We appreciate your passion and your commitment to the line. But I don't think being mad is gonna do more than give you a head ache. Instead, relax and know that they are coming, slow and steady. I mean, if they came out once a month? Then you'd have your line completed in the next 3 months, and you'd have to wait for DC's All StarWonder Woman comic to release Adam from his exclusive contract before more statues came; and that could be a while. So perhaps we could veiw any delays as a good thing!

That, and it's easier on the ol' wallet!
btw Come chat up with us more often... you're missed Saffy!
You're right! It's just the only thing I collect and it always seems like they delay the things I want lol but you are 100% right. I don't want it right now but just wanted to know who it was is all. I have a question though from your post above. You said "Then you'd have your line completed in the next 3 months, and you'd have to wait for DC's All StarWonder Woman comic to release Adam from his exclusive contract before more statues came" does that mean more are in the works after the 6 are done? They are not the greatest selling line but 1 of I do believe. I wish Buffy was cause then I would finally get my Faith premium format figure but for some reason I think they gave up on Buffy but here's to hoping. Oh and talk Adam into making a Supergirl Statue you know you can do it lol

Of course I'm right. *snicker*
Okay: Does that mean more are in the works? No. They are trying to get number 4 done. Then I figure they will work on 5 and after that, 6. Only after that will 7 through infinity be discussed. Shoot; its taken us long enough to get this far, don't you think?
However... did Adam himself not say a few posts back that Sideshow was wanting to talk with him about other projects? Huh... HUH?!? Be excited.
As for the Supergirl statue? Sad story. Adam wanted to do it. DC Direct mentioned doing it. Andy Begholtz is at DC direct, and Adam, said "Put Andy on it; we worked together on Emma Frost!" and then DC Direct and Adam had a less than satisfactory relationship on the Women of DC mini bust line. Now Adam and DC Direct aren't friends.
Please be patient. Your waiting will be rewarded soon enough! I can say no more; there are ninjas.

I'll try. But I've got my onw crazy deadlines these days. I just finished drawing 50+ Lord of the rings cards and the same amount of Indiana Jones Cards. 50 Women of Marvel sketch cards are due in about 10 days, and after that, 150 incentive sized sketch cards for the same set 30 days later. busy busy busy....
Girl you are so right! I am very excited about the "other projects" comment. You made my day!!!

Huh. I did not know about it. And I googled and can't find an image o fit. Was it just announced?
.....I take it back; just found it. Lets see.... I think it's a noble attempt. The blue highlights in her hair HAVE to go. And its a shame that the "gold" parts couldn't have actually been golden instead of that ochre color, and that they are so bulky looking. And her face seems so... small and lost in the piece.
Its no Adam Hughes, and thats a shame. But oh well. We have more Marvel Babes to look forward to.
I know you can't say much about the next comiquette..but....now there's no one around
...is there anything decided ? as sculpt, pose, costume.....and more important... has Adam been allowed to make more decisions on the projects?ps Thank you and Adam for your attention. You're truly amazing

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhahahahahahahahhahah!
"is anything decided?". I wish I knew how much I could tell you nice folks. Its so far beyond the "decided " stage right now. Let me talk with my buddies over at Sideshow and see if I can say some more without giving anything away for them.
