[Wetanut]

[PosterBoyKelly]

Ooooo what ya think SW will be? Chewie to go with the table!!!!!!!!!:chew :chew :chew

I only hope.

[Karma]

:monkey2 Only 1 LOTR :monkey2


might be another diorama as the podcast last night referred to the fact the first 2 pieces in this line are different in sizes & dramatic theme

[dr2red]

I am hoping one of the Electric Tiki pre orders is The Green Hornet or perhaps
the Buffy they have been talking about

[lcummins]

Anybody else having trouble getting on the Sideshow site? I just keep getting internal server error pages...

[Darth Waller]

Anybody else having trouble getting on the Sideshow site? I just keep getting internal server error pages...

I get through just fine.

[Polystoner]

might be another diorama as the podcast last night referred to the fact the first 2 pieces in this line are different in sizes & dramatic theme

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Damn, I was hoping for a 12" announcement, besides Gandalf, there's only the shorties left for the fellowship... :gandalf_w

[JohnnyFavourite]

So there's hope for a 1/4 scale Alien:confused:

[dr2red]

I hope there are somethings I want to buy at toyfair. I was telling my husband
that if the Buffy line doesn't continue that SW is the only other line I will be buying from. Of course I like Electric Tiki as well . So please Sideshow give me some good stuff to buy!

[twistedfreak]

I wonder what Hot Toys may have in store for their Aliens line... I also hope that we get a 1/4 Alien Maquette announced.

[DarkArtist81]

I wonder what Hot Toys may have in store for their Aliens line... I also hope that we get a 1/4 Alien Maquette announced.

Same here.... any Aliens love is good news here.... I want a Warrior dammit!! In ANY form... besides 1:1...:lol

[Kabukiman]

I couldn't help but notice the severe lack of modern horror and zombies. :monkey2

[screamingmetal]

Hot Toys I think will be the Grid Alien, T2 I think will be Hunter Killers, or are those already up for sale?
Yea a Buffy announcement! Unfortunately I think it will be a PF.

[Karma]

Will previews of all products go up on the website tonight?

[Natrix]

Hot Toys I think will be the Grid Alien, T2 I think will be Hunter Killers, or are those already up for sale?
Yea a Buffy announcement! Unfortunately I think it will be a PF.

Hunter Killers have been for sale for a long time already.

[pjam]

I can't get on the SSC site either...

[Darth Madden]

Ooooo what ya think SW will be? Chewie to go with the table!!!!!!!!!:chew :chew :chew

I only hope.


They won't announce Chewie at Toy Fair... they will save the big announcements for SDCC... Chewie would be considered a big announcement.

[Buttmunch]

They won't announce Chewie at Toy Fair... they will save the big announcements for SDCC... Chewie would be considered a big announcement.

I think you are under estimating Toy Fair. Toy Fair is BIG! They need some sort of splash at Toy Fair. They won't hold things back just to annouce them at SDCC or CIV. If it is ready, they'll show it. They might just happen to work on thing so they are ready for certain events though.

[DetroitSportsFan]

My thoughts/predictions/hopes:


Monday

* WoW Announcement - Maybe some kind of environment diorama?
* Aliens Feature - Not sure
* Marvel Pre-Order - Either a PF, Vs Piece, or 1:1 Bust. Spidey 3 related?
* Musician Pre-Order - Elvis?
* Medicom Pre-Orders - 12" Spidey 3 figures
* Electric Tiki Pre-Orders - Who knows?
* Ask Sideshow

Tuesday

* Legend Feature - Maybe a preview for PF Darkness?
* Darth Maul Pre-Order
* Buffy Pre-Order - PF Angel?
* Monsters Pre-Order - PF Creature From The Black Lagoon?
* Aliens Pre-Order - Alien Warrior Maquette
* Medicom Pre-Orders - Spidey 3 VCD
* T2 Pre-Order - Maybe a T-1000 maquette?
* Ask Sideshow

Wed

* LOTR Pre-Order - Has to be PF... Right?
* Star Wars Pre-Order - Probably 12", hopefully PF. Maybe a 1:1 bust?
* Marvel Pre-Order - Either a PF, Vs Piece, or 1:1 Bust. Spidey 3 related?
* Medicom Pre-Orders - 12" figs
* Hot Toy Pre-Order - 12" fig
* Electric Tiki Pre-Orders - Who knows?
* Ask Sideshow
* Star Wars Announcement - Official 1:1 C3P0 and R2D2 announcement?


Of course, some of these will probably be bobbleheads or some other letdown. But I'm thinking that there will be a few things to get people excited.

[Karma]

Brr - It's Cold Out

Is that a hint or just a comment on the weather? :lol

[Batty]

I have a feeling we'll get droids before Chewbacca.

[screamingmetal]

Hunter Killers have been for sale for a long time already.
Oh good that means we might get a Biker Cop T-1000 or a Battle damaged T-800! :banana

[shaun-o]

I couldn't help but notice the severe lack of modern horror and zombies. :monkey2
If there was going to be a Dead figure DNAgent would have shown up by now with more video goodness.:monkey2

I hope I'm wrong but I think everyone is overestimating ToyFair. I don't remember them doing anything real special last year for it. Like I said I hope I'm wrong and we do get something speical but I'm not going to be bummed if we don't.

[choopie]

I'm most looking forward to the Elvis PF pics and, hopefully, a pre-order to follow. I'm also curious about the Monster, LOTR and SW announcements. Beyond that, there isn't much Sideshow will be revealing during ToyFair that I foresee myself being excited about.

[Karma]

are all previews going up tonight with the pre-orders to follow over the next few days?

[mfoga]

Damm what a week to be traveling all week. This is going to seriously suck.

[Sir Tristram]

I hope the Star Wars announcement on Wednesday is the 1:1 Scale Droids....that is jsut about ALL I have been waiting for since JULY!!!

I want to see the progress they made and how much they are going to cost and the rest of the details!!!!!!!!

[metaphorge]

Where's our Daniel Craig Bond?

[SideshowDusty]

Hi Lonnie and pjam, if you're around... are you still having trouble getting on the site? Let me know if so, and I'll pass it along! :duff

Everybody getting excited? :maul

[TheObsoleteMan]

Where's our Daniel Craig Bond?
The same place it has been and will likely remain, in our dreams.

[Eli26]

No. hehe

Just had to.

[gabberjawa]

The Toy Fair page is not loading for me either:

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=toyfair07&source=wp_news

I just get the "I'm sorry, there are currently no products matching your criteria." thing

[pjam]

Hi Lonnie and pjam, if you're around... are you still having trouble getting on the site? Let me know if so, and I'll pass it along! :duff

Everybody getting excited? :maul

I'm good now, thanks D! :duff

Although the fonts on the TF page day balloons are tiny now.

[gabberjawa]

Fixed now!

[SideshowDusty]

Cool, thanks for letting me know. Yeah, the fonts got really really small! Maybe Chris is going to try to squeeze something else in there :lol

[gabberjawa]

It's been a really weird day for me on SS (and I don't know if it's just me)

- Toy Fair page wouldn't load (good now)

- Crack of Doom page had only this: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/large/image_coming_soon.jpg

with all of the other images gone. (then it went down for a few seconds and now is normal)

- Toy Fair affiliate banners don't load ( ?)


:monkey5

[screamingmetal]

Hey, maybe that Universal Monster announcement is the long rumored Creature From The Black Lagoon PF?

[Jmlsuperman]

So there's hope for a 1/4 scale Alien:confused:


I think it's from Alien 3.

[pjam]

Hey, maybe that Universal Monster announcement is the long rumored Creature From The Black Lagoon PF?


If it is, it'll sellout fast, especially if Oluf did it...

[SideshowDusty]

It's been a really weird day for me on SS (and I don't know if it's just me)

- Toy Fair page wouldn't load (good now)

- Crack of Doom page had only this: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/large/image_coming_soon.jpg

with all of the other images gone. (then it went down for a few seconds and now is normal)

- Toy Fair affiliate banners don't load ( ?)


:monkey5

Wow, really weird. I'm just gonna play it safe and blame it all on Chris ;) I've forwarded this stuff on to him, so he's aware.

[gabberjawa]

DARN IT CHRIS!! :maul

(edit: the TF banners are back now too, all is well again in SS land. I didn't mean a word I said, Chris :monkey3 :monkey2 )

[SideshowDusty]

DARN IT CHRIS!! :maul

(edit: the TF banners are back now too, all is well again in SS land. I didn't mean a word I said, Chris :monkey3 :monkey2 )

Good to hear! That's all we really want :duff


Now, I'm taking a break and going to the gym... when I get back I may hop into the Freaks chat if anyone's in there... probably around 4:00 PST ;)

[Eli26]

Dusty talking about the gym reminded me that my finances will go down even further. Got to renew my damn gym membership in May, and have to prepare for June Provincials. Going to cost me a grand right there to prepare for that. Argh! For one measily day...

My collecting habits are going to take a major hit in the next few months.

[darthviper107]

Dusty, are you going to be at Toy Fair?

This will be fun. Is there supposed to be some hint today?

I'm excited. I'd like to hear more news of the 1:1 droids but I hope they aren't coming too soon.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

So there's hope for a 1/4 scale Alien:confused:
Of course there will be a Premium Format Alien!!! But you know you only qualify to buy that, if you previously bought at least one of the Lance Henriksen AvP Platters! :D It's a new Sideshow policy.

[darthviper107]

Quick guys:

Feel up for a small teaser of our upcoming product line-up for Toy Fair 2007? Well...to further the 'big reveal' Sunday, pick a number between 1 and 31 and post it in the comments below. The number that is most often chosen - we'll reveal at 5:30pm ET.

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=toyfair07&source=wp_news

Go vote for a number now, whatever number is picked the most, they will reveal the item corresponding to that number in 30 minutes (5:30 ET)

[swabie2424]

I'm very excited to see what's in store for us Freaks. I voted for #13!

[darthviper107]

So it's either 13 or 7

[Rockabilly]

Will the Star Wars pre-order Wed. be a PPO?

If so will it be at the same time as all the other PPOs?

[darthviper107]

How can we answer that when we don't even know what it is. Although it's probably just the Darth Maul PF since that's preordering that day.

[Rockabilly]

Well I thought some of the SS veterans might have some insight from past toyfairs, I humbly ask your forgiveness oh great one for asking such an idiotic question.

[olvidadero]

Darn, Toy Fair's gonna be huge!

[darthviper107]

Well, from past toy fairs it has been the same thing we've always had, they just announce the new stuff and they have regular PPO later. It's not different as far as we know. And we can't know if they want to change it and I doubt Dusty would tell us before the announcements.

[Rockabilly]

It's 5:33pm...

[darthviper107]

It's a Hostel Figure from Medicom

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?page_id=2586

[darthviper107]

Hmm, that's interesting. Looks like there are some password protected listings in Behind the Show...:monkey3

[screamingmetal]

I voted for 7, It'll be interesting to see what could've been reveled. I'm not at all interested in this figure.

[darthviper107]

Yeah, I don't really care either, but then I'm really just waiting for Star Wars stuff.

[galactiboy]

I might pick up a Hostel figure... but I'll wait and see what the retailer price is before getting one directly from Sideshow.

[Vader AL]

Ooooo what ya think SW will be? Chewie to go with the table!!!!!!!!!:chew :chew :chew

I only hope.

HAS to be...or the droids...otherwise the piece doesn't make sense. CAN'T WAIT!!

[PosterBoyKelly]

Awesome, I don't want the Hostel guy, but still cool that SS is grabbing it!

[EVILFACE]

Chewie or R2 has to be coming down the pipe with that chess set.

[Shai Hulud]

Sideshow rulz for importing that medicom hostel guy awesome !!!

[PosterBoyKelly]

Chewie or R2 has to be coming down the pipe with that chess set.


That's what I'm hoping. I'd really be blown away if we get a Chewie!:chew

[Seretur]

Aside from the next SW piece (which will probably be another 12" figure, which I don't collect -- even though it's wonderful they're finally doing ANH) and my very guarded optimism for the remaining LOTR announcement (go PF anything!), I'm actually looking forward the most to...

...the Electric Tiki news.

Their stuff is wonderfully designed, and really made with love and care. I've learned to expect greatness from Tiki. :inlove

[pjam]

That's some ballsy ^^^^^ for Medicom to do, I'm not interested in the fig but it's damn ballsy and I like that...:monkey1

[Bardoon]

I'm not into it but I think it's cool that Medicom is making the HOSTEL guy as well...very nice moves there!

[SideshowDusty]

Just FYI, if there are any special ordering instructions, they will be posted on the preview for the item (like on the Darth Maul PF preview and Holochess preview)... if there are no special notes, that means it's just straightforward pre-order. :duff

[Buttmunch]

I don't think there is one Sideshow 12" figure out of all of the announcements. Very sad. I'm only ordering the Holo Chess set from Toy Fair :monkey2

[galactiboy]

I am a bit dissapointed that there doesn't appear to be an 1/6 SW figures... although I think there are some announcements later in the week. So maybe its not just the 31 slots we see for all releases. At least I hope so.

But even if not... Warrior for Aliens and a Power Loader more than make up for it!!!

[Sir Tristram]

I'll pick up the PF MAul, but nothing else....I really was only looking forward to hearing the progress on the 1:1 droids! ...A bit laid back, this TF seems to be!

[DetroitSportsFan]

Anyone know what's up with the Saw Puppet square on the preview page? You click on it and nothing happens.... :confused:

[swabie2424]

It would not surprise me to see Sideshow pull an extra item or two (especially Star Wars and/or LOTR) before Toy Fair is over. They always seem to have something up their sleeve!

I'll be getting the three Star Wars items....

[Seretur]

Some amazing stuff there. More than I can possibly ever get, unfortunately!

My favorites:
The X-Men vs. Sentinel Diorama #2 (even if I don't have #1, and already have Emma on order);
PF Darth Maul (but of course);
Alien 3 Maquette (Giger's preferred design, looks amazing);
Anakin vs. Obi-Wan Diorama (my biggest and happiest surprise).

The Tiki pieces are very lovely, too!

[SideshowDusty]

Anyone know what's up with the Saw Puppet square on the preview page? You click on it and nothing happens.... :confused:

There is no preview page for that. This is a new life-size SAW puppet just like this one: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=4336 but without the sound chip :duff

[darthviper107]

Hey Dusty, is this all of the figures that will be talked about/shown at Toy Fair or will there be some other stuff too?

[wookilar8]

Well so much for cutting back this year. So far this is what I think i'll be getting from ToyFair.

1. Elvis PF
2. Darth Maul PF
3. Darkness PF
4. Star Wars 1:6 Holo-chess set
5. Aliens Power Loader
6. Punisher Medi-com 1:6

I'm on the fence on...

1. X-Men Vs. Sentinel #2
2. Blade Medi-com 1:6
3. Frankenstein Bust 1:1
4. Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin Dioramo

And that's just what i've seen on the preview day from SSC & friends.:monkey5 :monkey2 :monkey5

[Sir Tristram]

There is no preview page for that. This is a new life-size SAW puppet just like this one: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=4336 but without the sound chip :duff


Speaking of life-size....any word on the Star Wars Droids? (Begging is entirely feasible for me at this point, so you name it! Whatever you want!) :o

[Alice Adrenochrome]

There's some very exciting stuff at this years Toy Fair. Have to say thanks for importing so much excellent Medicom and Hot Toys stuff! And the Sideshow material is sweet also. Sideshow continues to surprise! Lovely Alien3 maquette, and the Sauron legendary scale bust makes me regret I cancelled the Morgul Lord bust.

If it weren't for the Darth Maul PPO faux pas, I'd give you an "A" Sideshow, but alas...

[shaun-o]

Hey, anyone else have a hard time finding the Ape-O-Nauts and Medievil Kurgan previews on the new product page?:monkey2
