NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[Wor-Gar]

Bye, Biggelow...

Don't let the door hit your *** on the way out.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I am pretty sure that this is the first time in the 15 or so years that I have been posting on collectors forums that I have been truly enthusiastic about the banning of a new member. Good-bye, good riddance, and thanks for playing, there, biggelow.

I recently submitted a question or message on the product suggestion page on the sideshow website, regarding if or when we'll see a 12" Obi Wan from Episode 1, here is the first response I got, which I presumed to be a system generated e-mail

Then I got another from a member of the sideshow team personally, by the looks of it

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your email and for your interest in the 12” Star Wars line.

I do know that the Padawan Obi Wan is currently slated, but there is no confirmation on when to expect it. We have a lot of great new Star Wars figures lined up for 2011 and I think you will be very happy. Be sure to sign up to our Newsletter and Facebook account
for all the latest and greatest product information.

Best Regards,

That kind of put me off a little as it doesn't sound like he's coming any time soon, however in the latest ask Sideshow there's this:

You did a very good job on the 1/6 scale figures of Obi-Wan Kenobi. You made them all (with great likeness of both Ewan McGregor and Alec Guiness), except for a Kenobi from Episode I! My question is: will you ever make the evolution of this great Jedi complete in 1/6 scale?

A.Sincere thanks! You mean Episode 1 Obi-Wan? Oh yeah, we’ll be sharing the Padawan Ewan with you, and soon(ish).

Maybe the 2nd response was to throw me off the scent a little and he is coming soon? Hope so anyway, a grail figure for me personally.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well.... nothing new in a while...

yet LOTS shipping. Basically, SS is clearing out all my preorders without adding anything new. Only CODY left and then I got nothing.

Do you think this is the "dry period" before ToyFair or the April sneaks of ComicCon?

it sure feels that way, at least for the 1/6th line.

you could always order a pf or bust to fill in the gap!?!?

 

[Anzik]

Yaddle will be next.

 

[Puay]

I am keen to see how will sideshow release the Cantina band.

 

[devilof76]

Yaddle will be next.

IG-88.

 

[Wor-Gar]

IG-88.

Ohhhhhh yeah! Where the frack is he!?

 

[Yodacappy]

Now that they are delving into non-humans and with the Yoda body skin, I have to think that Bossk can't be too far off into the future...

 

[devilof76]

He'd be the perfect follow up to the assassin droid.

Ohhhhhh yeah! Where the frack is he!?

Late.

 

[Dammage7]

I am not a big Star Wars fans but I have to say that the SW Sideshow figures rule!

 

[Darksider]

I would really like to see some 1/6ths from the force unleashed saga. I Think a nice Sith Stalker, Maris Brood, or Rancor with war paint would work well.

Did you miss the Stormtrooper Commander?

 

[Anzik]

I'd like to see some more Jedi. Its been awhile and they could easily reuse the HH molds for Corrobb, pop out Eeth Koth, or Saesee Tinn.

 

[BuddyGus]

Would like to see some more Jedi from the Council. Saesee Tinn, Eeth Koth, and now with Yoda/Hobbit body, why not an Even Peill.

Still really wish SS would bo accessory packs with Jedi robes and Light sabers. Sure that would bring in more money than partial archways.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

snow trooper or scout trooper would love to see I would

 

[thenammagazine]

!!!REPUBLIC COMMANDOS!!!​

 

[BuddyGus]

Behind Scout Troopers. Commandos are my most wanted trooper.

 

[Spartan Rex]

Female Jedi masters and EU characters from the Old Republic games and Force unleashed.
