So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items...

Pretend Faramir was the first character treated - would you buy LotR merchandise from SSC that was more like their other lines?

So it couldn't be anything they did with Weta - but 12", 1/4 scale figures, 1:1 busts, other prop replicas than weapons, etc.

What would you like to see and how much would you be willing to pay?

Would you buy the same characters over again in the different format?

Which characters should they do?

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

Personally I'd only be interested in the 1/4 scale figures... and if they look as good as the SW ones, i'd buy anything they released! Though I am sure that there are plenty of people who would be interested in 12" figures and 1:1 busts (that Maul is AMAZING... but busts just aren't my thing)

Wheres my 1:1 Denethors Dinner Plate Replica!!!

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

1/4s all the way!!!!! These would rock!!!

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

I would be interested in 1/4th scale but would prefer if SS did 1/6h scale statues in the format we have now. They have enough well talented artist to do these.

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

If I like it I would Buy... I have never been a big Doom fan and I was "forced" into reserving one.. No way around the fact that it loks great...

One can never have enough Orc or Uruk in my humble opinion... If SSC were to continue the line sans Weta, Im sure it would still be red hot..

Whos asking Dave, yourself or Sideshow??

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

LOTR 1/4s!!!! That would be one cool collection.:hat

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

Forgot to ask this above in my last post.

Could SS do 1/6th scale poly statues? Or would Weta have first rights to that type of line?

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

1/6 scale figures? Most definitely.

1/4 scale figures? Most probably (price being a factor)

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

I would definitely give anything a serious look. !/4 PF would be hard to turn down, 1/6 would be hard to turn down, Prop replicas would probably limit myself to Gimli. 1:1 would definitely have to be very choosey about.

But, definitely BRING IT!!!!!!

Well, since New Line owns the property, WETA would have to negotiate for a further license, just as any other company would. Granted, they might have a leg up, since they did the work for the films, and the previous pieces, but Sideshow should be able to get just as much consideration as WETA or any other potential licensee.

As for what I'd buy, I would definitely buy more in the 1/6 scale line, and possibly some of the 1/4 scale, although I would really have to limit that, both for cost and space issues. I mean, let's face it, there is a ton of SSW stuff already in most of our collections, and I am struggling to find room for that stuff, let alone some huge 1/4 scale Mumak!

Know something we don't Dave?

Sorry no dolls for me, but I would love a Treebeard, cave troll and Balrog bust!

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

O yeah and a Fell Beast 1:1 bust too!

Thats true. Well, Either way I'd be happy if SS or Weta decided to do that.

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

Reading between the lines and as a few above have alluded to, is this hypothetical speculation or is this market research?

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

I'd say its probably just wishful thinking but it would be nice if the wheels were already in motion.

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

This is an attempt to bring the forum back in a more positive direction.

I guess it's possible that SSC could continue where SS/W left off and it's possible that Weta could continue on their own as well. But I'd imagine the 1/6 statues, 1/4 busts, helms and weapon sets are a murky license at the moment whereas other types of licenses may be cleaner and more likely for SSC to take on alone.

So i'm just curious what everyone's thought on the matter are.

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

Having only seen the SSW LOTR stuff "in the flesh", I have no idea what the other stuff is like

TC :bonk :eye :bonk

Re: So if SSC got the license for DIFFERENT types of items..

How about a few lifesize statues? I would buy the lifesize Lurtz and the lifesize RWOS. I guess shipping would be a killer though plus the postman is built like a matchstick so he wouldn't be able to lift it anyway.
