SDCC 2011 Star Wars Predictions

Heck, I'm jealous of my insider information. It kills me not to be able to run home to my computer to let everybody in on what's coming. Just recmember how much it sucks to pre-order something, and then have to wait so long to get it. Now add the time from seeing something actually being sculpted well before it's ever painted, and way before it's ever up for pre-order, and then tack back on the time to actually have it shipped.
Just today I finished painting one of my Holy Grail pieces for Sideshow, and I know I will not have it in my hands again for 6 months to a year. Give or take a day, it took me since June 1st to paint this one, too. Very challenging, but a treat to be the guy to paint it for sure. I just hope I made you all proud. At least the reveal is going to be very soon.

Curiosity Peaked again! SDCC Revelations just can't come fast enough for me at this point.....
I don't think you have anything to fear considering that whatever paint job we get will be far below whatever awesome job you did on the proto.

I don't know about that. I was at Sideshow this last Monday, and I swear I had to keep asking, "Is that the proto or a production sample?", and more often than not, the answer was "production sample". I'm telling you guys, it's getting harder to tell the difference. I've seen several samples of stuff I've painted, and they look amazing, perhaps not 100% like my work, but well above what we've seen in the past. China is getting dialed in. You guys have yet to see final production pieces of anything I've known about for the past year since working with Sideshow.
I'm not trying to take the credit; I'm just saying the game has been up'd in the last year. I joined up at just the right time. This is going to be an SDCC of legendary scale (not a reference to LSBs).
And I still have one huge hurtle to get over between now and then. Lots of pressure, but very excited about it. It's another great piece I've been begging to paint, and that I will definitely add to my collection.

I bet we'll see the Adam Hughes Mara Jade statue and the Boba Fett 12 inch figure.

I forgot about the daily reveal, since we only experienced it once so far. I, for one, like the system and am eagerly awaiting July 1st now.
I'll take a statue of this one:

Yeah, spread it out as it does make it easier on them during the event. The selfish part of me liked being the first one of many to see things up close but at the same time it allows me to plan things out.
