So we don't have a single thread to talk about Sideshow products so I figured I'd create one 
Come in here to discuss Sideshow's ever increasing and impressive line of SW products ranging from 1:1 full on busts (Darth Maul and Greedo) to their 1:6 scale statues, to their ever growing line of 12" collectible figures!
Here's a recent article on them from SWshop.com

Well I think individual threads are fine for when new figures are released, but at least we can chat about all of the different figures, etc in one thread 
I got my Obi-Wan ordered today, missed the exclusive version but I don't care. I got the exclusives of Luke and Anakin.
I have 3 X-Files Sideshow 12" figures and none of them are exclusive versions, I certainly don't feel cheated because I'm missing one tiny accessory
I have a feeling that even though this isn't a film year, it's going to hit my wallet hard...thanks to these guys

I've got all three of the 12" figures on pre-order, too (only exclusive I didn't get was Luke) and I'm really feeling addicted to them. I was also looking forward to this being a non-movie year for budget purposes, but if they keep rolling these things out that might be a moot point. I KNOW I'll buy any Jedi characters and any Padme or Leia dolls, so I guess the real test of this possible addiction will be when a character other than those is released.

Damn, these look awesome. I especially love the Vader one. As per the focus of my collection, I'll be saving up for the Vader doll, looks incredibly detailed. These things are awesome.

They mentioned in that article above that dark villains are on their way at some point in the future. You know when I saw Obi-Wan was next, I said "can you please release a clone or a Fett or someone that I don't want to buy so I can save some cash?"
Characters I would buy:
Any and all Padme and Queen Amidala figures w/ Handmaidens
Any Leias
Mara Jade
Jaina, Jacen or Anakin Solo
Tenel Ka
EU older versions of Luke, Leia, Han
Old Ben - I passed on all of Hasbro's versions of him and only have a vintage 12" but I would take a Sideshow Old Ben.
Mace Windu - with their details to robes and costume, his is a must. Hasbro's outfits were just too blah for him, although I do love my snarling AOTC 12" figure of him.
Aayla Secura - because she'd be too much of a pain to customize to make
Luminara - needs to go w/ my Barriss Offee
Kit Fisto
Ki Mundi
Darth Vader
Zam Wessel
Darth Maul
The Emperor
TPM Palpatine
Han Solo
Lando Calrissian
Chewbacca
Biggs Darklighter - Tatooine version
Bleh - there are too many to list out.
So ones that I would probably pass on:
Qui-Gon, I'll probably pass on him since I have the Hasbro Portrait Edition Defense of Naboo Qui-Gon that I LOVE.
Greedo - Again, I love my Hasbro version, don't need a spiffier version of him - my GG Mini-bust is nice enough.
Tarkin - I like my Hasbro Version
Any bounty hunters...and clones...except for Zam
Count Dooku - again, I love my Hasbro version, I don't really need another unless they do a ROTS version, then I might be tempted.

They really are doing an impressive job. I've ordered only the Anakin Skywalker 12" so far...if they ever do a line of Leia and Padmé dolls, my bank account is toast .

They are not the actual dolls they are just the premium format figurines but there will be a vader 12" coming very soon I suppose. It is not really a big loss on the exclusive obi wan as its only a grievous blaster, I would have picked him and anakin up myself but I am sticking to my word rotj 12" dolls only.
It has just made me think of something that I know they are mainly focused towards collectors but say they did a bikerscout I wonder if they have the rights to say make a speeder bike to go with the doll.

Humm I don't know if they'll offer huge accessories like that...yet. I haven't seen them offer accessories that are larger than any of their figures as of yet. But who knows...if they do, those babies will cost A LOT more than their Hasbro counterparts did.

I do like the grievous sideshow statue as I saw the exclusive at comic con with the cape the downside to it I think is the lightsabers look very easy to snap off.

If they offer a Dooku, or Sidious, I'm going to have to buy them.

I really like the 12" figures so far. The statues are nice, but they are just too expensive for just 1 character. I already pre-ordered Luke, Anakin, & Obi-Wan. I might cancel the Luke one. I'm still 50/50. Here are the ones I plan on buying if they are released:
Anakin Skywalker (2nd Qtr 2006)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (2nd Qtr 2006)
Mace Windu (???)
Yoda (???)
Emperor Palpatine (???)
Jango Fett (???)
Anything else, no matter how cool, I will probably have to pass on.
Plus, they recently announced 12" Lord of the Ring figures too. Talk about a company doing everything possible to kill my wallet. They are releasing the Aragorn one in a few weeks. However, I was really hoping for the King Aragorn outfit. I already have the 18" figures of Aragorn & Gandalf The Grey released by NECA. And the Sideshow Aragorn looks almost identical. For tLOTR, I will buy the following if they release them:
King Aragorn
Gandalf The White
Sarumon
Sauron
If I end up buying all 10 of those figures, then Sideshow has over $600 of my money. I guess it is better then being addicted to alcohol.

The LOTR line does look really promising. But I think the only character I would ever actually invest in is Sam.

I bet they'll do a great job on the LOTR line. That doesn't excite me too much, although I might be interested in Eomir and Faramir figures 
Now if they get Indiana Jones and Harry Potter licenses I might be in deep trouble.
