Interesting. If they don't suck I'd get a few.

 

[kingellesar]

Noooo please don't be good...my bank balance would be killed. In fact so would I

 

[PapitoMX]

This could be interesting. What other license or figures have they made?

 

[Buttmunch]

Too bad its not from a better company. Most of their previous figures look like they could have been made by **** Toys. I doubt these are any better than DiD or the Art Figures King.

Really surprised Sideshow hasn't stepped back into Middle Earth yet. They are pushing more boundaries than they used to. And the desire is there. As are unreleased protos

 

[Husker75]

The Art Figures King figure is not that bad..

and as for sideshow?

I wouldn't bring the ring within 100 leagues of their city...

not after the way they treated us. Disgusting.

Not sure what else they did, but it seems like the Asmus Toys Jim Carrey figures were pretty nice. Likeness was good. Curious to see what they can do.

They are in Middle-earth. The statue and PF line do a good job of representing what they need to do.

 

[cstojano]

Hot Toys or bust.

Hot Toys or bust.

Still doing my "I hope Hot Toys never gets a Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit license."

If Sideshow made these it would take 30 years just to get 10-20 figures

How the heck did these guys get the license?! I bought two figures from these guys, Gutts from Berserk and Dante 2.0. The headsculpt and paint apps on these are more like they were made by novice customizers than anything else. A license like this deserves Hot Toys or Enterbay. The outfits might be salvagable though.

You think a few high quality figures is worse than none at all?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Even messed up Orcs could look good. Hope they do Gothmog.

I still have the entire line (semi-line) of Sideshow figures.

 

[The Josh]

I think the OCD crazies that hot toys attracts is not worth it and I'd prefer this section to stay calm. So I do think none at all is better.

 

[JonWes]

I'd rather have figures from Hot Toys and just ignore any crazies that come along myself. Oh well. I didn't need to get into another line anyway.

 

[Husker75]

I'd be cool with hot toys doing the stuff sideshow didn't do. A great gollum, gandalf the white, saruman, sauron, orcs, etc. I know they'd only do a few, and I'd be ok with that. We know how they work, and so i wouldn't get my hopes up.

Unlike leaving us missing a dwarf and 2 hobbits.

Thankfully, all i'm missing now is paint on merry and pip, and i've completed my own, so neener neener sideshow.

Thankfully for you though, Josh, I don't think hot toys would come near the hobbit. They would do one dwarf, and be like.. ok.. we are done!

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I don't think they'd do anymore figure than we're done when SS made Middle-earth 1:6 figures.

 

[Deeznutz6]

If Sideshow made these it would take 30 years just to get 10-20 figures

Would take them 30 years just to complete the Fellowship..
