Is there a plan to produce a Chewbacca figure in Premium Format OR 1/6 scale in the future? Or both?
Counter to our previous statements, the answer to both is yes – eventually. We’ve started some evaluation of Chewie for both formats, and we’re going to figure something out. At this point, the PF would likely feature sculpted fur, but for the 1:6 scale, we’re pretty committed to figuring out a fur solve… eventually.

I really enjoyed your last “Ask Sideshow” answers and because they’re so good, I decided to ask a question by my own. I am a big fan and collector of your 12-inch Star Wars line, and I was a bit disappointed that it looks like that some named characters could possibly be left out in the future. For example, I have been waiting for a Count Dooku and Mara Jade 12-inch version for a very long time now. Those are characters that I think could really complete the current Lords of the Sith and Order of the Jedi lines. After reading that there is a lot of work currently going on for Max Reebo and so on for the Jabba diorama line, now I am a little bit scared that those 2 characters and others will never make an appearance in the line. Will you guys produce other characters like Mara while also doing the Jabba figures, or do some collectors have to expect a collecting pause because there will be only figures for the Jabba line in the near future?
Thanks for your question, and we’re glad to have you! Count Dooku is certainly not going to get left out, that or the head sculpt that we’ve completed is going to go to complete waste.

Any chance we might see an Original Trilogy era Shadow Trooper in black armor with silver highlights using the new Stormtrooper shell armor sculpt? I believe there is also a version from the video game Force Unleashed that came in an exclusive Wal-Mart pack in the 3 3/4″ scale that I would love to see 1:6th scale.
You’re absolutely right – we were more inspired by the small Hasbro figure than any other previous Black Hole / Shadow Trooper product previously released because of the nice use of silver highlights. We do have a prototype finished, and it is a product that we will offer at some point in the future.
