And you know I'm right there with all of you on the 'good enough never is' front, so trust me when I say this piece will blow your mind. This line is going to leave the 12" line in the dust of ancient history.

This is great to hear! At what point do you think we'll see a Faith sneak?
Do you know of any other Buffy statue on the horizon?
I only originally found out about this statue in this thread, though I now have some more info, but that knowledge does not include the official reveal schedule. There may not even be a planned date at this point.
I do know, but can't say who is next, but I will say this line has an excellent lineup. I just hope these sell enough for Sideshow to complete the Scoobies this time. That was by no means a hint, BTW.
This is now my most anticipated new line, and they can't come soon enough.

Yep, yep and yep...I'm right there with you in saying it WILL be epic. And WILL be the best piece that ssc releases in the Buffy line. I.just.can't.wait!

1. I think you're likely going to find out when the rest of us find out... lol.
2. Those who know, will let us know that they know, but won't tell us what they know... lol.

It's worth the wait! I to be honest, am just happy to have another Buffy line on the move. But, I am completely out of room and have no idea what to do. I certainly do not want to sell any of my collection, nor box them up.
Really don't know. I would imagine it's likely to be about 2 a year at best. It takes quite a while for sculpts to get done, be approved, get painted, everything to get reworked, get approved again, go to China, samples to come back for production approval, get returned if not good enough, and finally get mass produced before they ship back home to ship out from Sideshow. Having said that, 2 a year seems pretty quick now.

They used to be. I remember them posting the raw cast of the Bespin Han Solo and fans went nuts about the catepillar eyebrows. Not only did they change the sculpt but even referenced comments on the boards when showing the reveal. The problem is that in those days most of the comments were constructive for the most part and minimal in terms of changes, since then every release no matter what license is littered with photoshops and adjustments, amazing amounts of critiques and usually never followed by reasonings. Its caused a literal no-win situation across the board and I guarantee you that while they probably do look into threads its become the same ol' same ol' in terms of comments. Not that SSC won't put out something that they think is the best they could do but its not directly tied to what they would read here.
Makes you wonder why they would even show a pic or approve a pic to be shown. Its not exactly creating excitement for the piece...
I wouldn't count on the Eliza factor, these maquettes so far have never been branded with the "authentic likeness of...." Buffy didn't have it and I'm sure the other releases won't as well. The licensor maybe but the actress I'm sure has no real bearing on the piece itself.

Well now I'm excited for this piece, again. I can't wait to see an actual reveal.

From what I know the next one after faith is Willow with an wolf in her backpack or something you can see it on Sideshow video.
This is one statue I will not purchase. I love her character but not enough to spend over $200 on it. I would love a high end statue of "The Gentlemen"

What video?

Yeah, I'm digging it. And after seeing the Throne of the Slayer piece at SDCC, which impressed me even more in-person, I'm giving some thought to picking up some more Sideshow Buffy stuff.

The video released during the "30 Days of Christmas" (or something to that effect.) They only showed concept art though. No actual statues (with the exception of the Throne.)
