Ask Sideshow from July 2nd 2010

Posted by: Dr_Teng In: Statues

Any chance of seeing a T-800 Premium Format figure from the 1st Terminator movie anytime soon?

Hasta la vista, baby! Most definitely in the semi-near future…

In all reality, so we can put this to rest, could, would, will there ever, be a day when Sideshow will produce a 1:1 or even a 1:2 scale Queen Alien Bust from James Cameron’s Aliens?

It’s difficult to imagine that many collectors have the space for a true 1:1 Queen Alien bust, or that we could safely ship one, so we’ll go ahead and say no, it’s VERY unlikely. A 1:2 scale piece could be very interesting, and it’s something we’ll give more serious consideration moving forward.

I’m wondering in what direction you will be going with the Predator species in the near future…I have to say that I have been very disappointed that you guys have only released one true Predator maquette so far, and only two Predator busts (Predalien is more alien). Will you guys be producing more Maquettes and Life-Size busts at a steadier pace any time soon? Also, is there any chance you guys will visit the Lost Hunters from Predator 2?

Very good question. We’re very keen on bringing some new visions of the Predator species to life, both film-accurate and more imaginative. The new Predators film will have us busy for the remainder of 2010 and into 2011, but we’ve also started work with Steve Wang on some very interesting work. In short, you will see much more of the Predator species from Sideshow moving forward.

I was wondering if there are any more plans for more statues from World of Warcraft, or some Premium Format figures?

We are developing new product based on World of Warcraft, but like Blizzard’s game titles, the development can’t be rushed. We hope to have a new statue to show you in early 2011.

Fantastic job on the latest Snake Eyes diorama! How often can we anticipate the G.I. Joe Dioramas to be released? I think Zartan on his Chameleon Swamp Skier with sunlight shining on part of him showing off his “blue” skin would be a great way to show off his uniqueness as an action figure!

We’re likely to announce new G.I. Joe dioramas roughly once every three months or so, and the next will be Zartan vs Flint, and should be ready to unveil at during our Comic-Con celebration in July!
