doing it...for all of us
I think is clear where Sideshow's focus is right now: Court of the Dead and DC Comics.
The Hobbits coming to Sideshow.

Fair enough. I disagree 100% but it is what it is.
Well, that is what would make them the most money. DC sells like hotcakes, while COTD is all original and requires no licensing fees, while simultaneously allowing for complete creative freedom. It doesn't help that recent LOTR pieces have stayed in stock for ages.
I sort of agree with you here. They look fine but not worth the money. This is evidenced by the bath sellers take when they list them for no reserve auctions on eBay and I am happy to wait for people to sell these from their collections to pick up the ones I need.

Edit2: I admit prices are all over the place.
Yep, BBTS has been putting them on clearance or deep discounts pretty regularly, even the "popular" ones like Thranduil and Tauriel. Probably a combination of fans caring less for these film's characters and too high a price for what is offered.
Man that was cheap, and no doubt at the really low end of the selling scale.
Still, this was always my issue with many Open Editions, prices bottom out, it removes a lot of the hype and rush to get stuff and things just putty along.
Give or take the few exceptions, like Azog.
As for Sideshow, where are all those LOTR is alive and well threads......

Wheeeeeeeeere?
I ordered the Tauriel with the store credit I got for my issues with my Azog. Haven't shipped it yet but excited to get it.
How is this still a thing?

Makes me wonder where all the old trolls are who we're saying with every Sideshow release- "Weta owned again!!"
Oh that's right.... They bailed from here just before SS just about finished with LOTR

Me thinks jackson & producers have an agreement with weta because of of the relationship to the movies.
And we will see sideshow stuff once the last installment has been released
then we should see the awaited pieces we have longed for

Odds are you're right. At least I hope you are. Irvy you're right too man. WETA makes great statues but not like the PFs Sideshow does

Or a combination. I'm hoping for some good PFs and maybe an awesome maquette or two

This one is on top of the gold,the one in the movie is sleeping under it.
Technically, Weta have already released a Smaug statue, I've got this one:
Smaug Front by theguru1, on Flickr
And I can assure you, 'tiny' is the last thing one can call this statue. Sure, it's not an exact statue of what's in the movie, but it's still Smaug.
Personally, I half expect Weta to make a resonable size, open edition Smaug from the film.
