Will There Be Any New 1:6 Scale Stuff at TF?

[SportsAnchor]

Gotta admit I'm a bit concerned that when SSC unveils its display at TF '07 this weekend, they won't have anything from the 1:6 line except for the Chess Table Expansion Pack. I will be extremely disappointed if that's the case.

Does anybody know if SSC will have more from the 1:6 line... or is this new 1:9 scale line their new baby?:maul

This could mean that C-3PO and Chewbacca are on the horizon...it'd kind of be a waste of having a 1:6 scale chess table without proper figures to go along with it to show a scene!

But Sideshow said no armored figures for at minimum a year and C-3PO is somewhat "armored".

Hmmm

 

[MaulFan]

I think it'd be safe to say what they've stated will be there is it for showings at TF, but if you look at what was done last TF, they're previewing more than last year, as lil as their will be, I think the biggest 1/6 news will come at SDCC and / or C4.

I think we may get something on Wednesday since it says Star Wars announcement.

Thats going to be the Diorama I think. If you look petty much everrthing that got shown fits the daily lists.

I wouldn't expect any new 1/6 stuff at TF, the Chess Table is a tease for CIV. Even then we won't get it all. SDCC is the show and expect all to be show there....that's where we got Jabba remember....

 

[MaulFan]

It's possible more news may come over the next few days, but as far as seeing product there, I think we have been shown the full display already, but they could announce other figures relative to the chess table, like when they preorder say, and stay tuned to our newsletter for an announcement about ..... something like that maybe.

I believe we've seen just about all we're gonna see. We still have several months between the next two big shows. Plus months after that.

 

[jason2885]

Well ok we are suppose to have an announcement tomorrow which Im guessing is the diorama line, Darth Maul Preorder on Tuesday, and finally a Star Wars preorder and announcement on Wednesday. I dont think the Medicom VCD will count. So Wednesday may be the day, just a guess.

After the HUGE day Gentle Giant had, Sideshows entry seems...lackluster?

You can look at it as SDCC didn't blow there entire wad for the next 6 months at one time. I mean come on with all the stuff GG showed thats all they have for the next 6 months. Sideshow like to keep up on the edge a lil more.

That is true, but, GG basically just mounts their product on a wall and says here it is. Sideshow, Jabba as an example, makes their showings more like big unveilings and museum like display arrangements, they have big things coming for sure, they just aren't ready or this isnt' the venue to do anything with them.

But when will we see any NEW 1/6 from SS 08?
I hope for a sidious at SDCC.

There will be pretty much defintly be some sort of 12" exclusive for C4 and SDCC. They will probally anounce them a month or so before I would guess.

 

[The Josh]

I don't think for C4. I would believe they would have said something by now.

Its still 3 months to C4 and from what I can tell it was only 2 months from Sith Anakin to SDCC last year

 

[The Josh]

I ordered my SDCC Vader in April of last year and SDCC wasn't until July. That's four months from order to recieving and they had him in development before that. They've already set the same time line for this years SDCC exclusives. So if they're going to do something for C4 it better be announced quick.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

Man SS, jump up on it! I want a Palpatine and a Chewie! I hope it's one of those things that gets announced after the Toy air, kinda like "you thought we were done" but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[IrishJedi]

SSC is smoking big pots of crack if they don't have something exclusive at C4.

Why is that? They've never done anything for the ORC Celebrations as well as C3. SS isn't GG and gonna exclusive everyone out pissing off everybody. Enough folks get pissy about the SDCC Exclusives.
