What's Your Obsession

This was from Toyfair so it’s a bit late, I somehow missed it until now. Tons of fantastic info for Sideshow’s upcoming projects. This one is fairly huge so it goes under a cut!

Any chance that you plan to make the rest of the Fantastic Four members in Premium Format? My Thing PF feels very lonely

While not currently in development, there is a chance that we would produce all Four members in 1:4 scale in either Premium Format or the Comiquette line. We are working on designs for a complete Fantastic Four team-up in the Comiquette line, but they are likely to be in a smaller scale than the Thing PF.

I love the classic Marvel comics and I would love seeing Sideshow tackling more on the classic Marvel confrontation moments. Are there any plans for Dr. Doom VS Fantastic Four Diorama set from you guys? I would think it will be a great diorama and only you guys can deliver it to us with best quality!

Yes, we have several concepts for how to best represent Doom’s ongoing struggles with the Fantastic Four. It’s not in the cards for 2010, but is possible for some time after.

I love your Marvel line, and I was just wondering if you guys considered making a Thor Comiquette with the modern comic armor.

Thor is definitely due for some attention, especially with the upcoming film and current big Asgardian storyline. Thor is definitely getting a major, BIG representation this year, but we cannot confirm a modern armor Comiquette just yet.

With the AH!, Brooks and Cho Comiquette lines, it seems we have more room for female figures. Any chance of seeing the following X-babes make it to the Comiquette (or even Premium Format) line in the next year – Psylocke, Storm, Polaris, Dazzler? Also, when will the first Cho comiquette be revealed?

Absolutely. Psylocke will have her reveal very soon, and designs for Storm are in the works. Polaris, Dazzler, and others may come down the road, but no concepts for those lovelies have been drawn yet. There are several other femme fatales in development, so you won’t have to wait long for your next Marvel girl fix. At this point, we’re uncertain when the Cho series will get off the ground – stay tuned.

Shall we wait for new Iron Man products to be revealed in 2010?? Also, what about the Gambit statue?? When will it be available?

Oh yes, there will be more Iron Man product in 2010. Iron Man 2 means lots and lots of greatness – including a few pieces that the collector community has been requesting for a LONG time (1:4 scale, say no more). Gambit is available now – hope you like him!

With Bowen Designs recently Releasing a Cable statue, does Sideshow have any plans for a Cable Comiquette? Possibly with baby Hope as an EX?

Cable is in our planning for both Comiquette and Premium Format series. Both are currently in the design phase and are likely to move into sculpture soon.

I really like how the cape of Emma Frost PF turns out. The cape itself looks really dynamic in the air. Will we see more caped Marvel characters like Magneto in Premium Format? Magneto PF will look stunning with a real cape.

Agreed! Yes, in fact, our creative leads are currently reviewing another Premium Format Marvel prototype piece with a cape and working at incorporating the same sort of effect from Emma’s cape.

How about a 90’s Psylocke and/or a 90’s Rogue Premium Format? I’d also like to see a Black Cat Premium Format! And…here’s an interesting thought…how about a Tigra PF? Rowwwrrr!

You’re definitely more than warm! Psylocke is soon to debut in Comiquette form, Rogue and Black Cat in Premium Format, and Tigra is on our list of candidates for 2011 or later.

I would really like to see you guys make a Sentinel anything. A Legendary Scale Bust, Comiquette, or Diorama. I know you guys did multiple X-Men VS Sentinel dioramas, but I missed out on the best one, which was the first one. I still want more Sentinel statues and would love to see Wolverine cutting open the head of a Sentinel in a diorama. A light up feature would look awesome on EVERY Sentinel statue. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do something else featuring this mutant-destroying robot!

We agree. The Sentinel will make an excellent large-size full-bodied piece. While we’re not actively developing a Sentinel yet, it is part of our line list for 2011-ish.

I can’t exactly remember how long ago I saw this dio here on Sideshow, but I do know that I’ll never forget it. The Hulk vs. Spider-Man. The city street was all ripped up and Spidey was perched on a downed street light, ready to spring. It was jaw-droppingly awesome. The sculpting and level of detail was so well done, it was almost frightening. Since then, there have been other great dios (the Capt. America/Red Skull dio comes to mind) but none have quite matched that extreme level of radness, in my opinion. Don’t get wrong, I love Sideshow’s stuff, I just feel that the opportunities are limitless with all the super cool classic characters that have yet to be made. Are there plans for a Juggernaut dio? Anything goin’ on with Nightcrawler, Deadpool, or maybe a Kraven the Hunter vs. Spidey dio from “Kraven’s Last Hunt”?

Juggernaut, Nightcrawler, and Deadpool are all in development, most likely to see release in 2011, but not in diorama form. We certainly understand what you’re looking for, and we’ll pass along the suggestion for another mega-scene sort of Diorama.
