12/01 Q&A Dewbacks and Speeders? Whaaaaaaat?!?!

[sabiansix]

Crazy Sauce:

"Now that the 30th anniversary for “Empire Strikes Back” is upon us… is there a Hoth gear Han Solo in the works? (maybe blue coat like the Hasbro from the 80’s for the exclusive eddition) And how about Luke with Hoth gear? Have you guys thought about Taun Tauns or maybe Dewbacks… and maybe a Landspeeder!

Yes, we do have some special plans to celebrate Empire’s 30th. We’ve given thought to all versions of Luke and Han, including Hoth, and even the Dewback and Landspeeder are under consideration."

 

[sabiansix]

better yet, what do Dewbacks have to do with Empire?

 

[MaulFan]

Dewbacks and Taun Tauns are possible I suppose, but given how slow Jabba is to go off the shelves, and the size of those creatures, I'm not sure how likely it is we will see them, I'm sure they want to do them, but I'm not sure if they could sell enough to seem worthwhile to Sideshow, I hope so, I think they could do a really nice job with them, but I'm not counting on it. I'm still glad we got Jabba, and I'd rather see a Rancor done before the other creatures, as I have a hunch if they do another creature, that'll be the determination of whether more are done in the future based on its sales.

 

[thenammagazine]

MF's right. They should really have looked at Jabba again before considering this. He's STILL available. They'll probably try by making one, and when whichever that is doesn't sell as well as they'd "project," they'll can the idea.

As for the tauntauns, I'd just pick up Hasbro's (found one at a local comic book shop for $26). You can find it for cheap and with a good darker wash, the thing really cleans up nice. No need to drop $200 on a polystone one.

Taun Tauns, Dewbacks or the Landspeeder... I would gladly buy all 3 if any is ever made.

Start playing the lottery now then.

 

[Puay]

If Sideshow were to have any special plans for TESB 30th anniversary, I am hoping for some SnowTroopers with their cannon.

Now THAT would be a figure worthy of a $175 pricetag!

 

[Puay]

Now that would only be enough for the trooper manning the big gun. I still need the other fella behind him, who is attending to the equipment box.

Oh, absolutely. The equipment box would likely come with the gun as the Ex and the 1st Snowtrooper obligating us to fork over even more cash for a second regular trooper. WIN WIN!

Then that would be another $100 on top of the $175 pricetag.

 

[jkno]

Snowtroopers are a must, and also Veers in AT-AT armor.

 

[Lordscum]

As well as an AT-AT Driver.

 

[abake]

Yes to all of the above!

 

[Darth Cruel]

I am not seeing anything in that Q-n-A that indicates that these will be 1:6 scale. They could be any format.

However...if the do make Dewbacks, Taun Tauns, and speeders in 1:6 scale, I will be all over them.

 

[jkno]

As well as an AT-AT Driver.

Of course, of course

 

[Khev]

I want 1/6 scale Biker Scouts and Speeder Bikes! Please don't wait until 2013 (30th anni of ROTJ) SSC!

It was implied. The whole question was about 1:6 scale.

 

[Mojojoe]

I would love to have anything that can interact with the figures.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Noithing in the question said 1:6 scale. Sideshow would not be at all out of character to use the ambiguity of the question to throw the info of other formats out.

My skepticism stands.
