Hi everyone,
Got the new Entertainment Earth catalog today (Winter) and there's an interview with Scott Schellhase (C3 Executive VP). Here are the highlights -
EE: Have there been any vehicles from Star Wars that Code3 wanted to tackle, but didn't for any particular reason?
C3: Since the day we started we have always wanted to produce a complete set of vehicles and starships in one scale of the entire Star Wars universe as we know it. I "pffffffuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit !"'t imagine a more definitive collection than a single scale set. Of course marketing and business plans don't really gel with this idea but I would love to do it anyway.
EE: Do you plan on doing new versions of old favorite vehicles, such as X-wing with Dagobah Dirt Deco, or will these spacecraft be more or less one-shot deals?
C3: That is a great question and I wish I could show you our sample department as we have already created these deco's as well as many others that just haven't made it to the marketing department yet.
EE: How do you decide when to include miniature figures....
C3: Starting with the Republic Gunship we will probably feature figures in all future Star Wars vehicle/ship models. Just wait until you see the number of figures inside of the AT-AT that is coming out in 2006. The X-1 Advanced Tie Fighter features the Dark Lord himself in the pilot's seat!
EE: Is the rumor true that your 2006 AT-AT will also include a appropriately sized Snowspeeder as a bonus item?
C3: The Snowspeeder was included in the hand sample process but has not been approved yet. I think it is very likely that it will be part of the final production set.
EE: Last question: Giant Die-Cast Death Star?
C3: It is pretty far down on our list for the obvious reasons of cost and ability to make it so it could be life styled withing existing collections. I think our AT-AT will raise the bar on what collectors expect from a model so I don't want to say 'never' to any project.

There you have it. Good stuff. All I "pffffffuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit !" say to Code3 at this point is
