NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[Wor-Gar]

"Green to go"

Silhouette may be...

GREEDO.

 

[Luis138]

Greedo? What, when, where? What silhouette?

[Wor-Gar]

The Spook silhouette that most agree is Hulkbuster for the PreOrder tomorrow.

Just a guess. Green. Kinda, sorta see "Greedo" there. The again...

 

[Star Puffs]

Now that the Gamorrean Guard bust has been released today, I really wonder if they are going to release the Gamorrean Guard 1:6 figure now too? Seems like oversaturation for a minor character.

Besides since we've all known that character is coming since SDCC, it would be a pretty lame 'surprise' for Spooktacular. Maybe the remaining 1:6 figure is a G.I. Joe or Indiana Jones, but I still hope to see an OT 1:6 (and not another damn Stormtrooper variant).

Edit. Just to get my OT elitist dig in...especially because the PF is apparently Darth Nobody.

 

[MaulFan]

I would be surprised if the Gamorrean 1/6 was ready.

If the 2 remaining 1/6 slots are SSC made items, my guess is maybe 1 Star Wars and 1 Indy, but it'd have to be something that's not going to enrage people when it just randomly goes up for order tomorrow or Friday.

Since the Darth Talon PF has an Exclusive, my money is on that for Friday's PPO.

 

[Lordscum]

The 1:6 slots could have a Reg and Ex as well but your probably right about the PF. I'm guessing the 2 slots either belong to Indy, GI Joe or
if its Star Wars maybe Medicom C3-PO and R2-D2??

Hints are building up potential for Greedo to not be too far away.

10/26 Q&A

I was wondering if Sideshow was planning on visiting the Mos Eisley Cantina for future 12” figure ideas? Top picks for me would be first and foremost Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead), Dice Ibegon, Greedo, Ponda Baba, Takeel (Snaggletooth), Wuher, Ackmena and Dr. Evazan. Have any of these been considered for 12″ or are any in development?

Yes, yes and yes. The scum and villainy of Tatooine will likely play an important role in 2010 and 2011, perhaps beyond!

10/27 Q&A

Any chance we will see Grand Moff Tarkin, Leia in her Bespin gown, Lando in his Skiff guard disguise or Greedo as an upcoming Star Wars 12-inch release from Sideshow?

Of the four you’ve listed, two are definitely happening. One is currently in development, one is currently in design. The other two are good picks, but they’re not yet part of our line list.

10/28 Q&A

My Star Wars 12-inch want-list: Callista-yellow saber (she did live and become human again), Mara Jade-as the hand and as Luke’s wife (or just non imperial armor), Exar Kuun- would be neat, Anakins apprentice in Clone Wars (her name slips my mind), Greedo & Max Rebo band.

Duly noted, and all of your suggestions will be passed along. At least one (and likely more than one) of your suggestions is going to happen.

 

[joda76]

Also just read that they are doing an ewok. Maybe 1/6th or dio,its says not PF.

 

[BuddyGus]

Any one notice that in todays Q&A they mentions Ewoks for 2010. Oh, and they mention Greedo as well.

Sideshow released the very obscure character Asajj Ventress as a Premium Format, I take this as a good thing because then there may be a chance for some more obscure Star Wars characters to be made as Premium Formats. Could Sideshow please say if any of these are on there Premium Format to do list? Gamorrean Guard, Greedo, some Ewoks perhaps like Teebo and Logray? If these are not on Sideshows to do list are these characters you would consider to make as Premium Formats? -AND- Does Sideshow have any plans for a Gammorean Guard Premium Format figure?

We would argue that Asajj is not too terribly obscure, especially with her recurring role on the Clone Wars TV show, but there’s no point in arguing because we do indeed intend to bring more of the visually arresting secondary characters (and semi-obscure characters) in Premium Format and other product lines. The Gamorreans, Greedo, and Ewoks will all get some recognition in 2010, although none will be in Premium Format. It IS very possible that Greedo or the Gamorrean might appear in 2011 or beyond in Premium Format.

And wouldn't all the OT tittybabies just start crying for their mommies if it turned out to be Ahsoka?

Ex w/backpack for Rota and reg would take up those two spots.

 

[Star Puffs]

And wouldn't all the OT tittybabies just start crying for their mommies if it turned out to be Ahsoka?

Yes, yes I would cry.

 

[thenammagazine]

Yes, yes I would cry.

*pats head* Don't. It's been a ^^^^ing great year for the OT elitists. It's time for the open-minded fans to get some love.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea, cause there are so many fans demanding a Ahsoka figure . . .

 

[Manticore72c]

It may be considered perverse being a 37 year old married man that if Ahsoka was released tomorrow, I would buy the figure straight away.

I actually enjoy her character in the Clone Wars series, but probably more so because I converted my 6 year old daughter into a huge Star Wars fan. She watchs all six movies over and over again and has her own collectables and toys. She enjoys seeing Ahsoka on screen and I enjoy being part of that experience with her. Nuff said.

So bring on Ahsoka !!

 

[Star Puffs]

OK...so some weird zombie figure is one of the two 12 inch slots which were remaining. As I recall the exclusive slot sometimes appears after the PPO, but if only one slot is in fact left that leans towards Greedo instead of a Gammorean Guard (assuming it is a SW figure at all). Greedo appears so briefly on screen that the character does not lend itself to an exclusive. In contrast someone was saying how the GGs appear with multiple weapons in Jedi, so one of those would be an easy, and typical, exclusive.

Sounds like sound reasoning to me. But I think they said the cantina patrons would be next year. My guess if for another trooper with no exclusive.

How so?? Which releases did OT elitists get this year?
Lando, Sandtrooper??

 

[devilof76]

Darth Vader?

 

[Deeznutz6]

Shipped this year, announced last year.

New announcements this year

 

[devilof76]

Yeah. It's been mostly prequel and EU. There have been quite a few since SDCC 08 though. Vader, Rebel Fleet Trooper, Antilles, Stormtrooper, Piett, Sandtrooper, Lando.

Not that we couldn't use more.
