SW Dioramas

Yeah I know I am thinking about it since I love R2-D2 but I am not really into the animated look. It will depend on the price.

Well, it's going to be a summer convention exclusive, so that may be a bigger factor than the price.

Yeah, ES will factor in as well.

I actually like this animated maquette. Is anyone going to SDCC and would be willing to pick it up for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Nice, but thankfully Dios and statues are not my thing... phew. Now I can save money for the Aliens figures!!!

The HT Aliens and Predator lines are some of the craziest figures yet.

I'm going to be so f'n broke!!!!!

oh yes..now thats what i've been waiting for.bravo sideshow for recognising that there is a market for these.

can't wait to order:chew

You know this line is just screaming Maul vs. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.

I thought this too right after I saw this.

I would love to see some Expanded Universe stuff once this line really gets rolling.

Well I will be at SDCC and C4 so that helps, plus I am one the premium GG memebers or whatever they call it.

With Premium Format satisfying my desire for awesome sculpts in a nice scale with mixed media and now SW dioramas displaying conflicts and scenes with multiple characters I can't see myself getting more than 3-4 more 1/6 scale figures.

Imagine dioramas of:

Vader reaching out to Luke in Cloud City

Luke and Yoda with even more Dagobah

Luke on a Tauntaun

Jabba's palace (*this* Jabba I *will* get, and it'll probably be the only Jabba setup SS will offer with a decent Slave Leia)

The Sarlacc Pit with Desert Skiff

Duel of the Fates

Yoda vs. Sidious

Luke vs. the Rancor

Obi-Wan on Boga

The Gungan battle (you bet I want this)

Carbon Freezing Chamber!!!!

Ewok Celebration

And so many more.

AWESOME NEWS!

 

[tomandshell]

The second release in this line is going to be Vader VS. Luke at Cloud City.

My top two diorama grails are announcements #1 and #2? That's got to be some kind of record.

 

[tomandshell]

I wish the scale was 1/7 instead of 1/9 but we'll see how it looks when they put it up later this week.

What surprised me about this announcement is the fact that Gentle Giant has the license to produce 1:7 scale multi-character dioramas. I would assume that Sideshow has to stick pretty close to the 1:9 scale or risk stepping on GG's license. Scale/size can be important distinctions when it comes to each company's piece of the Star Wars licensing pie.

 

[Bannister]

I don't know if this has already been said since I didn't read through the whole thread but I guess this means the LOTR dio line is dead.

If there is any justice. The Cloud City duel may not be as climactic as the one in ROTJ, but I think that it is much more iconic, what with the "I am your father" moment. The first two releases in this line should be the two most memorable and representative duels in each triogy.

(Ben VS. Vader on the Death Star shouldn't be too far behind.)

Oh--I should have said that I am guessing that Cloud City will be next. I don't know this for a fact, by any means.

But the ROTS diorama will be up for sale on Wednesday, I believe.

big thanks tom..can't wait for this

 

[scriff]

I like this one better than the LOTR one.

Shall have to wait on the price on this one!

that looks like a really great idea for a line. And the piece itself looks fabulous. I'm still going to go ahead and make myself the base for my own 12" figures like I was going to (they stole my idea the bastards! ) but considering how good this piece looks, I'm glad everyone's going to get the opportunity to buy this.

Lots of opportunities too considering how many vs. situations there are in the films. These will be a great line of statues i think.

 

[JohnyBoo]

I am so happy about this announcement. I have always loved statues better than action figures. I think the PFs are great but the mixed media still seems a bit different to me. The dioramas give you more than just a statue because action and conflict can be better displayed. This first one looks great and I cannot wait to see more. I would love to have all of them but again price will dictate. Trev did such a great job on this and the new LOTR diorama.

My spouse would like for SS to quit developing new products.
