Sideshow interview at cooltoyreview.com!

A great read!

https://www.cooltoyreview.com/Conversation-SSC.asp

Some highlights: 12 inch ROTJ Vader, Ep 1 Obi-Wan with light up saber. Dooku.

About this light up saber:

DMM You’re referring to the light-up lightsaber you mentioned last time?

BB It’s been a real interesting go around with that. We’re balancing out between things we could do and would do if we were making one. As a prototype it is amazing, but if it were produced like this you’d have glass elements and wire. Plus the inelegant solution to power it. I think we’ve found something in the LED vein that we’re happy with. Not too far from Medicom’s but a little bit stronger than that.

I'm really stoked for this. And I hope it works well. I have to wonder, do any of you hope/want Sideshow to offer a pack of lit sabers for the figures we already own? I know its a stretch, since a bunch of us wanted the newer cloth Clone bodysuits to replace the older vinyl suits but they never entertained the idea. How cool would it be if they sold exclusively a set of lit sabers for all the Luke's, Mace, Vader, Maul, Anakin Ki Adi ETC. figures we already own?

I do!
And of all the 1/6 scale sabers Sideshow's are the best!
Love your sig dude!!

GREAT news that they scaled the new Vader body down a bit. Gonna get a replacement body for ANH Vader now. It's the little things in life.


And if he comes with a lit saber.... holy ____!

Well ROTJ vader would be cool, I never really liked the ANH vader much. The light up sabers sound cool too.

My eye scanned the name before I read the sentence and I got all but then all when I realized it was nothing.

Did they mention anything about lowering prices?

No, they mentioned raising prices.

But only for people named "DarthRazz" who post on SSF.

They said everyone else gets a 50% off "Non-Darthrazz" membership card.

But it was something.

I'm pumped to see that Obi-Wan... but he'll make Qui-Gon and Maul look hopelessly outdated, methinks.

We knew 1/6 ROTJ/ESB Vader was coming...but confirmation of the height fix makes me very happy.

I think the most exciting news in that interview was the 1/6 Baroness.

I couldn't care less about light up sabers. Why the hell would I want TPM OB1 to have one when Quigon on Maul both don't?

Yup. Light-up sabers are dumm.

It's a wasted feature, IMO. It will drive up prices by 20 bucks while doing very little to nothing for our displays. Light up anyting=over rated.

Lots of good info in that interview, sad they can't do Marvel 12" comic figures to go with the DC offerings though.

It was awesome. Although, now I need to make the Emperor's Throne a priority.
