remember this is the most important line for Sideshow...
Its really time to see at least a peek at something...assuming that anakin is the next one, why no show a sneak previews ....... I believe that some problem between Sideshow and Hot Toys , remember this is the most important line for Sideshow...in the last Comic-Con Sideshow no show anything of hot toys....is rare... .....maybe professional jealousy....
Sideshow should really pull there shot together. Forget hot toys. They have the means to get it right. Tell me one person on this board who likes Star Wars that would t buy more figures from sideshow if they would just get their head outta their asses, stop making clones of clones and step up the production paint and base body. They've already got Trevor grove. They used Nathan Eakins for paint. Those two are the pinnacle of their respective talents. They could hire kato. Hell they could go out and find some new licenses and go to town. I'd pay hot toys prices from sideshow of they gave me hot toys quality! . PLUS there's the added benefit that there an American company (even I the figures are manufactured in china) and I love supporting made in the USA businesses.

As for professional jealousy? Highly doubt it, cause what ever HT does with Star Wars, they are putting money in Sideshow's pocket.
With Episode 7 to 9 on the way , this license is gold....... Remember that Sideshow lost 1/6 license in Hot Toys hands: Marvel Avengers, Iron Man 1-2-3, Captain America , Thor......I don't know.....for me Hot Toys will fight in the future for this license.....
As others have pointed out the license belongs to Hasbro and I doubt Hot Toys could pay more than them with all the stuff Hasbro puts out. SS has the sublicense for the 1/6 line from Hasbro and although HT could try to get it, the question is can they pump out the number of figures that SS does when they have all those other lines. They would need to do that in order to outbid SS.
And if there's any justice in the universe, someone will go to hell for that.
By the time the next figure is announced, it will simply be:
DX 17: Luke Bespin 2.0 which will now include the Dagobah backpack.
