Sideshow Military at SDCC?

[GI GENE]

Did Sideshow reveal anything new in their military lines at the San Diego Comic Con?

Well judging by the pics released and the lack of replies here, I think it's safe to say that there are no military figures showing at SDCC... :(

Nada. Nyet. Nonce. Not a one. They had Wayne, Washington and Ermey displayed though...

Thanks Guys!

dstephan,

Were you at the show? Are you going by the pictures or lack of. The coverage of figures at the show in picture format from Sideshow Toy and actionfigure.com was abominable to say the least.

Judging from the below picture, they also had Custer who's head is highlighted and another figure that I am not sure of.

Also looking at the schedule of events for Saturday, it looks like military figures will be discussed.

Saturday, July 16th
1:30pm - 3pm - Military Figures and Art. S Buck

If they have any new one's, I am sure they be discussed and hopefully pictures taken of them.

This is coming to you from a person who's only interest is in military historic figures and who care less about all that star wars and weta stuff although the Dr. Doom was a cool looking figure. With Star Wars figures announced, It looks like the other lines will be suffering the same fate as the military line did a year ago with now only one or two figures offered a year.

What website specifically is that photo from?
I looked around and the only photo of that display other then the one you're showing (I can't find it) is this one:
www.sideshowtoy.com/php/comicCon05Photos.php?action=viewImage&set=photos_from_preview_day_thumbs&pic=IMG_1035.JPG (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/php/comicCon05Photos.php?action=viewImage&set=photos_from_preview_day_thumbs&pic=IMG_1035.JPG)
The only other figure in that case not known is the 1:6 scale Scar Face.

It is this one:

Sideshow preview night (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/events/sdcc05/photos_from_preview_day_large/IMG_1019.JPG)

If you look real close at the picture you will see that the 1/6th scarface is in white directly behind and a little to the left of the 1/4th scarface. Now behind the 1/4th scarface and a little to the right is another unknown to me figure that I have a question mark on. More to the right is the back head of custer with his hat on and his uniform and in front of that is Washington.

The other close up photo you saw does not incude all of the figures that were in the display case.

Actually after looking back at the closeup, I can not see where the two figures I pointed out could be. Perhaps they are 1/6 ghosts :) or maybe they were placed there after the close up picture was taken.

Here's a magnified picture of the two figures in question not seen in the close-up:

West Dan, I found these photos over at the Men with Dolls board. There doesn't appear to be anything where you're pointing:
Some Comic-con Pictures (http://p223.ezboard.com/fmenwithdollsfrm1.showMessage?topicID=17353.topic)
I guess the desire to see new military products there at the con made us see things that where not really there.
Unless..... Sideshow changed the displays after the Preview night to hid something!?! I smell a conspiracy a' brewing! :p

Whoops, just saw this thread. I was there - there were no new ones announced. But had Custer, Wayne and Washington displayed.

It's a pitty these don't sell better - I really dig Blackbeard and Vlad and Washington looks to be a killer.
