Sideshow Will Have SEVEN SDCC Exclusives this year!

[The Mike]

OK, I suppose you are right. It still is a dumb variant though. I mean if you are going to make a grey version, why not try to make it War Machine-like? It just seems poorly executed to me. But if that is just how that guy wanted it, then I guess that is how he wanted it.

Right. That is how he wanted it. I wish I had enough money and clout to call up and request a figure. War Machine like would be more than a repaint, it need tooling and if you look at the Phil Saunders War Machine concept from Iron Man 1 it'd look completely different.

I just don't understand why Marvel would approve a figure like that. I mean, they have to approve each figure right? Its one thing for Hasbro to make a scubadiving satalite blowtorch Iron man figure, but I would think they would hold a collectibles company to a higher standard.

That I can't argue with, I don't know why Marvel would approve it because it is a higher collectible but then again they approve bust and statue variants for things in similar pricepoints for stores and etailers. So go figure.

CCC is at least based on another figure. Even if that figure is less than a year old. Plus it actually looks cool. Gunmetal Grey Iron Man is too much along the lines of a poorly constructed Mark II.

Its actually a Mark 3. Ironically the paint apps and light weathering are the best done of the versions produced so far.

That is a little tough to shallow but its definitely something that I'm glad I can get locally and not have to hunt Asian sellers and a pricetag around $400 for....but then again I'm an Iron Man who would have done that.

The new Dead shirt that is free this week may actually be a hint of this? The Collector? How cool would that be? What accessories would it come with? Sideshow Grails in 1:6 form? 1:6 Balrog statue, grey hulk, PZ, etc.

I would have myself come with a mini PZ to hold and scaled Doom PF Exclusive, an original DEAD T-shirt and the biggest smile.

Honestly, that Ironman probably looks the most realistic of the 3. Too bad it wasn't in the movie. Should have put it in as the Mark III just prior to painting.

I thought it was kinda cool that they used a Sideshow employee for a nameless character's sculpt.

I did too. My point was not whether I liked it, my point was that a lot of whiners caused a rukus about it.

 

[The Mike]

Now come on....if we stopped things because of whiny ruckus progress and processes would stop dead in its tracks.

I dont remember that, but it has been a LONG LONG time since I frequented the Star Wars section.

I dont see what the big deal is

Who said anything about stopping something? We were talking about whether or not the identity of the dead baby sitter was Dusty. Irish said Tim Miller had remarked that it wasn't based on Dusty and I said he more likely doesn't want to give the identity away to spare anyone the grief Brant must have gotten from whiners.

I think that is one of the attractive things about the dead line is ferreting out who is who.

Yeah, I knew it was on the Mark 3 body, but colorwise it seems like a poorly made Mark II. Just unfinished you know. This is more like the Mark 1.5

But that weathering is nice. I wonder if it was a test for a future Battle Damaged Mark 3?

And what I meant about War Machine, is if they were going to make a grey one they should at least try to get the coloring similar to War machine. I know he has a bunch of extra guns and other gizmos, but its the thought that counts at lot of the time right?

Its amazing to think weird variants like this get approved and works of art like Andy Berzholtz's Bespin Luke sculpt get rejected.

I think Brian Dooley (who we haven't seen in a while) said he based Patient Zero on himself. And I think we figured Subject 5 was Oluf. After that it was harder to identify. Although the Spooksman was flat out revealed through the press conference video, I never saw the "likeness."

But I think the Dead is one of those lines that nobody should be getting upset about them using Sideshow employees as the subjects. I think any of us would jump at the chance to be apart of the Dead line!

And without a employee likeness, this pic would never have been possible (and for the record I like that they use employee likenesses and yes I would kill to have my face done in 1:6)

I don't think so, man. It was totally off the record and he seemed genuinely amused that people actually thought it was based on Dusty.

During the same conversation, Tim did admit to sculpting the 1:4 Crystal Skull for the DVD release.

Well however you took Tim's words, Dusty herself hasn't exactly set us strait in this thread.

And I don't think she ever will. I think she enjoys seeing us debate about it

 

[barryo]

i kind of still like the mystery of it all..............is it or isnt it...........................funner that way....

 

[The Mike]

Bingo. Dusty likes screwing with us because we fury up into a Nerdstorm with every comment either way.

Her only comment on it was quite the tease.

"fury up into a Nerdstorm"!! LMAO

And I can neither confirm nor deny that I like screwing with you guys

btw, sometimes I get WAY too caught up in the Nerdstorms for my own good and it gets me in trouble - but hey, it's all worth it for you Freaks

 

[The Mike]

"fury up into a Nerdstorm"!! LMAO

And I can neither confirm nor deny that I like screwing with you guys

Which is ironically screwing with us.

 

[barryo]
