OK, let's get this party started...
collectsideshowOur April 30th Newsletter reveals our 7 SDCC Exclusives!
Sideshow's Twitter has teased me!
But clicked the link and no new newsletter there... YET.
The Comic Con Exclusives are going to be password protected... check the link in the banner of Fantacular.
Newsletter will have the code I guess.
Of course, someone here will figure it out first.
What the heck is taking the newsletter so long tonight? I'm getting anxious.
I don't want to be a downer, but the sales haven't really proven Indy's popularity at a higher level... we experienced many cancellations from retail stores for the regular edition RotLA Indy (both 12-inch and PF), and they are both still available on our site and through all our retailers. We got a TON of exposure for those items as well, so that wasn't the problem - picked in many 'best of 2008' lists, debuted at Toy Fair 2008, displayed at Comic-Con 2008, cover spots on ToyFare and other magazines, carried by many retail shops, etc. Plus, we've got Belloq's, and most of the Medicom Toy RAH figures still available on our site and through our retailers as well. (I can't speak for other company's but perhaps this has affected the Indy items from other outlets as well?)
Please understand that I am just making these observations AS A FAN, not as an employee - I really have no idea what the master plans are for Sideshow's Indy license, just observing the trends in the market and the perceived *popularity* of the license. Us Indy fans may need to adjust our perception of popularity when the most popular version of the main character doesn't sell as well as hoped for. BUT, on the bright side, we have some cool stuff to offer new collectors (as usually all the cool stuff is long sold out)!
I DO know that there are definitely other Indy characters in the works (at least at the development stage right now) and we are NOT abandoning the license!
Greatest post ever.. !!!! I am happy to know that Sideshow will be soon abandonning the INDY licence to concentrate on more Marvels,I.E.: STUFF THAT SELLS.
