That looks very nice!
The Clown Prince of Crime
Super Freak
Maybe next year Elvis
Really hope this one goes up for pre order would of been nice to have a neutral sculpt.
But which version. So many iconic looks.
Personally, I'd like 50's Elvis in a suit with the microphone.
Tbh I'd be down for anything Elvis would love Jumpsuit or 50's. I did debate on using the Enterbay as mine is starting to flake :/
I would kill for a Jim Morrison.
I gave up hope with Morrison - so went to Cheungkinmen he's nailed the likeness so look forward to seeing his Hollywood bowl version.
Will go nicely along side my custom Ray Manzarek.
Really dig the fact they included medallions! Hoping to see a PO for this soon.

Met with the licensing agent for Jimi's estate back in around 2013. They wanted $50k for the license ... which is absolutely insane considering you can really only do one or two looks, and most TV shows that have a cast of characters are only $25k or so.

We have a winner!
Watched the Sideshow live video on facebook according to them it's gonna be shipping October - December this year ( highly unlikely) but the price is confirmed $289.
No alternate sculpt but still good for the price would of been nice to include the full montrey guitar or an Amp with a stage stand.

You guys can thank Molecule 8 for your Hendrix figure. Molecule 8 really pioneered the field of 60s musicians being released as 1/6th figures and proved they were much talked about with their John Lennon masterpiece. A figure so good they quit after realizing they would never make anything of that quality ever again!

The tragedy of creating a masterwork at your first attempt. Where to for the writer who picks up a pen for the first time and writes 'War and Peace'? What else to do the painter whose first daubs on a canvas produce the Mona Lisa?
So to Vajayjay and Molecule8. Weep not for the works that remain unmade, but rejoice for having known them at all.
You do bring up a very good point there. And hopefully now that a competent company is tackling a musician, that more will follow.
It's a shame no one else has tried to get the Queen license - apart from star ace who make glorified barbies 
Freddie would be a huge seller along with another Elvis. I'd love to see K.A resculpt by lennon and Bowie after Vijay stole her sculpts. Blitzway could possibly open up a new market. The fact Won has said they'll look at montrey Hendrix after this, testing the waters.
Here's hoping we see a PO for Jimi unlike last years figures that never saw the light of day.
