Sideshow Collectibles Elaborates On Further Troop Builders
Sideshow Collectibles has answered more questions as part of their May Fantacular event. The latest G.I. Joe-related questions focus on 12″ figures, as well as other collectors items:
Q: I was wondering if you will be making a line of Premium Format G.I Joe? …. AND …. How about G.I. Joe Dioramas (not just the environments like Recon at Waypoint 12, but full dios)?A: We do have some news to share on the subject of expanded GI Joe licensing. Stay tuned to the Sideshow website, especially around the time of San Diego Comic-Con (in late July).
Q: I love your G.I. Joe 12 inch figures. Do you plan on making newer characters like Cobra Red Ninja, Ninja Viper, etc?
A: Thank you! Our design & development teams are really enjoying the opportunity to work on the Joe line! Our initial focus will be on the more well-known and recognized characters. If the line continues long enough, it’s possible that you’ll see more Cobra troopers & ninjas incorporated into the line, but they’re not yet in any stage of development.
Would you like to see the Ninja Viper or Red Ninja in the 12″ line? Let us know by clicking the discuss button below! [Read more…]
