DC and Sideshow

[jml969]

I imagine this has been brought up in the past....but what are the chances of DC and Sideshow making a deal the way they have with Marvel? The DCDirect Batman and Superman would pale in comparison to a Sideshow Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman,etc...
Oh well I guess I can only dream...

Sounds like DC is keeping everything in-house.

zero.

zilch.


nada.

niente.

DCD believes they can do things themselves much better (and cheaper) than any licensor could.

Yup. This time Dave is right on the money )) DCD believes that they can do it all and will not be outsourcing to an American company anytime soon.

Too bad SSC would do a great job for them.

Whatever, They can keep telling themselves that, Sideshow are the best there is!!!!!!

I hope Sideshow never gets to produce DC items....It would take the focus off their beautiful Marvel lines.

DC is also convinced it can make a decent Superman movie.

I am not with you on this one, I must have a Sideshow Bernie Wrightson's SWAMP THING 1:1 Scale Bronze Bust like their FRANKENSTEIN.

However their Marvel lines are AWESOME!!!!!
If I only had more money, I would collect them as well.

True and they should realize that Superman has other villains other than Lex Luthor.

There was a lot of talk on Jinx World and Statue Forum a little while ago that Randy may be getting a DC License in the future. Maybe DC is relaxing their position.

True but even the Marvel line is very limited. If Sideshow ever did DC we'd only see Superman Batman and Wonder Woman. We'd be lucky to see anyone beyond that.

So what's the deal with distibuting things like the Batman and Joker Hot Toys figures? DC just now wanting anybody in the U.S. distributing figures, or is it becuase Sideshow deals with Marvel?

 

[jml969]

Good pt... why the love to Hot Toys and not SS?

DCD quality, as far as sculptures, compared to SS is pretty poor. I wonder if SS has even gone to DC and said, "this is what we can do with your characters..." and then show them some kickass prototype of Batman.

 

[EVILFACE]

If they would make figures in a proper 1/6th scale, they would sell far more.

The Hot Hoys DC figures are technically Asian exclusives with no official U.S. distributor (which is why Sideshow can't carry those).

Shame because their stuff is really lacking IMO.

 

[Darklord Dave]

There have been exceptions - NECA did the V for Vendetta statue. I'd imagine that was due to some licensing thing in the movie contract though.

And I'm sure SSC has approached DC and Warner Bros. about it - but there's been little positive response.
