    12" fans rejoice. Sideshow is going to produce Star Wars figures after acquiring the license from Lucasfilm and will work with Hasbro. Here's the link to the article.

    This is gonna be awesome!!! I cant wait!!! Ive gone the horror movie line of Sideshow's and think they do an awesome job! I cant wait to see what they have in store for the SW 12" line! I wonder if we'll get to see any previews... or maybe even get a preorder with Comic Con.... I know I know... I doubt it seeing as how they just announced it... but I can hope :D

    Cheers

    Thats pretty cool.

    It would be nice to see Hasbro work out more deals like that.

    Great news for 12" fans.

    Hopefully the price range will be about the same as for the Hasbro ones. If so a Fett or two would probably tempt me..

    I would expect about a $40 price tag on these similar to their X-Files 12" figures. If the quality is on the same level that Sideshow seems to put into those it will be well worth it. Hell, it might even make me a 12" collector.

    With Hasbro's recent track record this is probably the best thing that could've happened to this line.

    12" Sideshow Anakin? :eek: =P~ Yes, we MUST have pictures!

    God, I'm beside myself so excited about this. I also collect the 12" Sideshow X-Files - well I have CGB and a Doggett on the way, but their quality is undeniable and AMAZING.

    Finally, we'll get 12" figures that don't look like they're pumped up on steroids!

    PLJ, I just looked on their website for the X-File dolls and they look amazing. I can't wait to see their SW line! Yay! :D

    Nice to see the two of you happy about this...the first thing I thought when I read this news was "that might just make the Padme petition people really happy".

    While it's no sure thing that you guys will get all the Padmes you want simply knowing the 12" line isn't dead and in competent hands is a much better than the way things looked just a few days ago.

    I'm hopeful because they have a whole line based on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and they make all of the female characters. I'm sure that we'll get many male oriented figures, but I can't see them completely ignoring the female characters.

    They've done 2 different Scully figures for the X-Files line so far. They were also the only company that made the female heroine from "Van Helsing."

    Something tells me that they'll be more open to produce a couple of female characters a year. They also produce fabulous statues - I can see them producing a line of Queen Amidala statues.

    Ohhh the possibilities....

    Im sure somewhere down the way they'll do a Padme or Leia... they are important characters to not include in their line... Im actually interested to see how many they will actually make total!

    I just read over on Rebelscum that they will also be making Expanded Universe characters, and the fans will get the vote on the first one they make.

    Is it just me or does that "naked Anakin" display look like it could be hiding something behind it?

    Perhaps it's possible we'll see something a little more solid (and perhaps less "revealing") after Hasbro's Friday announcements?

    Wishful thinking, but I had to put that out there.

    ^^^^ You could be right!!! My fingers are crossed that maybe we'll get at least one 12" pre-order before the con is over!

    I would like to see an Anakin Solo 12" figure, since he is my favorite EU character.

    Depending on the results, I might just be tempted to toss out all my old Hasbro ones.

    :eek: The 12" line is coming back!? AWESOME! And from seeing Sideshow's work on their large figures,I think we'll be seeing better quality 12" figures here then what Hasbro has been making for awhile. Even if they cost more,I'd be willing to pay it if they're good quality. :D

    This is great news, especially for a Padmé-collector like me. ;)

    I can only hope that they really do something great out of this.
