That would make sense. But if it's true I wonder what kind of rights issue it could be, since they have been in some EU stuff.

i believe its likenesses of the actresses - not the characters themselves

Yes. More aliens Sideshow. They are your finest work.
If that's it then it makes me curious as to what happened, since I thought GL had all the likeness rights pretty well wrapped up
. Although I'm no expert, that's for sure. It's kinda funny that 33 years after watching the original I'm still finding out new things about it

Chewie...PLEASE! 
I've been wanting a GREAT Chewbacca 1/6 scale figure for a LONG time! I got the "poofy" Kenner one back in the 1990s. I didn't even open it up for display. I would've been embarassed. It looked like a bad Muppet gone wrong!
Then I got the slightly better molded plastic Chewie from Hasbro after that. It's decent enough for display so I did. That's where I'm at now....
Is it that hard Sideshow to make a decent Chewie? I guess and hope Hot Toys anwers my call for a good Chewie in their newly announced Star Wars "DX Masterpiece" line....
Here's hoping for the best that Chewie finally gets a great figure.

I think how to do the fur is the biggest issue, obviously
Might have to be done manually which would really drive up the cost. I would guess Hot Toys might be the ones who could do it and get away with charging $400 to $500? Some people in the star wars custom section have taken the hard hasbro figure and applied fur manually and come out with a decent looking figure.

I would be willing to pay HT prices (but not $400) if Chewie was done extremely well, like eyes popping out of my head good
. I could see HT doing it and using that Avatar body as a base. Maybe a couple different versions could be made, like one with real fur and one that was sculpted for a little cheaper. Then collectors could decide which one they wanted to get. Of course you would have the completist people that would have to have one of each
, and yes, I'm ashamed to admit that I would fall into that bunch

I can relate to the completist people comment. SS suckered me into ordering a regular set of battle droids in addition to the exclusive. Why you ask? Because the regular set has a different number on the back of one of the droids than the exclusive...

Yes. It's that hard for anyone, Hot Toys included.
Absolutely. And an Ackbar.

I'll call, and I'll raise you a Tusken Raider.

The Avatar body is way too tall for Chewie.

Now we're rollin'. I see your Tusken, and raise you a Death Star Droid.

Agreed, but the tall armored body used for Vader would probably work well. Its got skinny arms and legs that would look good in a fur suit.

Oh my! You cheeky bastard.... I see how you roll now.
I'll see you, and raise you one Death Squad Commander/Death Star Trooper.

Did I miss something? Did Hot Toys give Star Wars it's own line with them, now?
