Hello everybody, I am a huge fan and a collector of the Premium Formats and my question is do you intend to do more Lord of the Rings Premium Formats, and if you do what characters will be?
Keep an eye out for mysterious, dark, hooded figures with lovely singing voices. They see me rollin’, they hatin’.

The Boromir maquette looks stunning and the only thing I can possibly think of to make this masterpiece even better would be the addition of a 2nd headsculpt. A closed-mouth headsculpt that more resembles the conceptual artwork the maquette is based on. A headsculpt that most collectors believe would go perfectly with the ‘sword down’ switch-out arm. What do you say SS…is a 2nd headsculpt something you would consider adding to this marvelous maquette?
What you see is what you get, with regard to the Boromir Statue. We agree, it’s a LOT of fun to have the different emotive options, with heads and arms, and we’re in the midst of a very active conversation about how to provide the best options within each product.

Hi, could you tell us is there any chance of Rohan Royal guards will ever be made in any scale?
That’s a tough call. They’re maybe a little too obscure for the PF line, and we’ll have to see how deep fans want to go with the Statue series. We love them too. The costume work is INCREDIBLE.

Hi, I was looking at your pre-orders for Legolas / Gimli / Gandalf Maquettes and had an idea. Unlike a lot of previous LOTR items that sell out very quickly, why don’t you do more characters that haven’t been done that collectors would love to see made? For instance, I can’t believe that your not even considering statues like Haldir/Denethor / Skully, and with nothing of Gondorians or Rohirrims. What about Wargs riders and any other riders? I would just like an answer as to why not? Are you prejudice against such statues?
We are, in fact, considering MANY characters for the LOTR statue line! Especially the Rohirrim dudes, we’ll be taking a ride with them at some point. We start off new lines with strong, well known characters, so that the line can seed and sprout and grow, and have the best shot at longevity.

Hi, will you be making any Uruk Hai Maquettes in a Helms Deep style pose?
We are brewing some rad designs for more Orcs, both Uruk and regular.

I would like to know if in the new LOTR statues line, Eomer and Mouth of Sauron are being designed with or without steed. Thanks!
Designed, yes, Eomer without Steed, and Mouth… we cannot state definitively yet.

Will you make some more busts (small ones) of the LOTR ? So many other characters left to make – Denethor, Faramir, Eowyn, lots of orcs, battle troll (who almost killed Aragorn in battle on black gates), Celeborn, Smeagol (hobbit version), etc. Do you have plans make any? If yes…when?
No plans at the moment, although we agree that there is some rich territory yet to cover.

If I keep asking the same question will the squeaky wheel get the grease? Where, oh where, are the LOTR 12″ Merry and Pippin????? I know all those things about viable sales and understand, BUT now with The Hobbit coming out it should renew interest in the whole series since it is a “prequel” to the other three and viola! Merry and Pippin become stars again. Remember, without them the Ents would never have been instrumental…you know the story.
Where oh where are the Lord of the Rings 12-inch figures, eh? Hobbitses, sneaky filthy hobbitses? Rest assured, we review Lord of the Rings product planning regularly, and there IS a contingent within Sideshow that is dedicated to returning to Middle Earth in Sixth Scale at the earliest opportunity. That day is coming, but it’s not here yet.

Regarding your upcoming Sauron piece in collaboration with Jerry Vanderstelt, I was wondering if you could comment officially on whether it will fall into the Premium Format category (even if not officially 1/4 scale), or if it will in fact be one of the first (if not the first) baddie in the new maquette line? This is easily my most anticipated piece, and I know everyone is eager to know more!
It’s going to be BIG. It will be done in approximately 1:4 scale, true to the Premium Format line. If all goes according to plan, this will be a major centerpiece for the LOTR line, a very singularly impressive statement piece.
