Q.Just wanted to know why the new Terminator Premium Format’s eye on the exclusive switch out head doesn’t light up, it should be a necessity. Can you put it under consideration just like what happened with the Thanos and Mistress Death diorama where the light up features were added way down the line in the design department? If not why?

Sideshow is always actively working on product enhancements, sometimes right up until a product ships. We enjoy the chance to add additional features when possible, like the Thanos and Mistress Death. In some cases, we haven’t sorted out the final engineering or features when a product is solicited, but we continue to work at it [...]

Q.Regarding the Terminator and Predator line: Seeing as you guys where the distributor for the HCG 1:2 Endoskeleton. Have you guys ever considered bringing us a 1:2 scale of full Arnie in his leathers half-man half machine optional shotgun, or a 1:2 scale of the original Predator w/ an optional bio helmet?? They would sell like hot cakes!!! Finally, as there will be an original Terminator Premium Format coming soon please tell us you have a 1:1 bust of Arnie with removable gargoyle glasses from the original Terminator!! There are too many crappy homemade jobs of this floating on eBay. Please guys give us Terminator fans the 1:1 bust we are all dreaming of, and pump us a decent size original predator WITH bio helmet!! At the very least please reassure us with some answers to these questions. Cheers!!!

Oh, we’ve done more than consider. You’ll be a happy camper, but bear in mind that our development process does take time, so we can’t offer you immediate gratification. Reassurance, indeed.

Q.I’m a big Terminator fan, and am very much looking forward to the new Terminator 1 PF when it hits. But will you ever release any of the other characters in premium format, like Kyle Reese from T1, Sarah Connor and T-1000 from T2, and the TX (in both forms) from T3? I think a lot of Terminator fans would like to expand their premium format collection beyond just Arnie. Also speaking of Arnie, how about a ‘Tech Noir’ version of him from Terminator 1 next time, just for a bit more variety? Thanks.

The Terminator Franchise is getting an extensive review from our product planning and design teams. We want more Terminator in the mix, and we’re interested in a bit more variety too. Some of the characters you mention will see life in the statue series. For the moment, we’re not involved with T3, so those characters [...]

Q.With you guys “taking a step back” from the Terminator franchise, does this mean we will not be seeing an original Terminator Premium Format anytime soon? -AND- I am a HUGE!!! Terminator fan, and I was wondering where you guys are in the production of a T1 Premium Format? Also, in my own opinion for a pose, I believe that a sculpt of the Nightclub scene with the uzi would be the most intriguing.

Woah, who said we’re taking a step back from the Terminator franchise?! Absolutely not true – we’re in full development on the statue and Premium Format lines, and recently announced the addition of the original Terminator film to our licensing portfolio.

Q.There is still a huge demand for the T2 1/4 Endoskeleton on the secondary market. Any hopes of making a 12-inch version or a reissue of the 1/4 scale version you put out in 2004? This is one piece I’m dying to have! Maybe you can make it better, like add an AC plug option and motion sensor that turns the eyes on.

It’s still a possibility that we’ll revisit the Endo in 1:4 scale, but not in 1:6 from Sideshow. Perhaps from Hot Toys – we’ll talk it over with them.

Q.Any chance of seeing a T-800 Premium Format figure from the 1st Terminator movie anytime soon?

Hasta la vista, baby! Most definitely in the semi-near future…
