I'm glad to hear that. I've enjoyed collecting Sideshow Star Wars figures since they started with them. While some of the Sideshow figures that I consider favorites in my collection would get me laughed out of here if I mentioned them, they are figures I still enjoy having and won't get rid of just because Hot Toys is going to make more of their own
There's plenty Sideshow has recently announced I'm really looking forward to and some of the recent releases have been simply amazing (still can't get over how great Grievous turned out....everything, from the figure itself to the the packaging and presentation is just fantastic).
Hot Toys will have their fair share of hits and misses...the one thing that will be consistent is the rising prices...their offerings are going to be very expensive, we can be sure....
And as many others have pointed out, it won't be surprising if the focus from HT isn't the new films...expect a "Guardians of the Galaxy" slam when the new movie hits of 5 or 6 figures with maybe a classic character thrown in the mix...
I don't know....I'm almost thinking that Hot Toys producing more stuff from what has been my primary focus on figure collecting may actually slow down for me...it may be a case of "too much of a good thing"....
We'll see....
