So I take it Sideshow will not be making figures in 2011? Maybe HT will take over GI Joe as well and SS will focus on statues and busts. This would be for the best.

Sad thing is, HT doing this pretty much guarantees we'll see 3 Indys and they'll be done with the line.
And you'll only need to buy one to get a figure that looks like Indy this time.

I don't see HT taking over GIJoe.

Yeah exactly.
Besides, I wonder if HT will venture into all the side characters, or just stick to the main ones. I'm inclined to think the latter, since HT usually makes just a few figs from a license.
I'm actually hoping so as well... I wouldn't want to see Star Wars becoming the main license, with everything else being pushed aside.

If SW indeed goes to HT, SS will likely call it a day with 12" Star Wars themselves though right? They wouldn't try to compete with their own income? So whats left just Joe?

I'll be curious to see how successful this is, given most have already spent a ridiculous fortune making an Indy figure that would rival anything HT could deliver.
Sad thing is, looking at what happened with Hell Boy, HT doing this pretty much guarantees we'll see 3 Indys (dupes of RotLA and KotCS) and they'll be done with the line.
If they at least to Mola Ram I'll be happy.

Not really. Collectors will cut back on other lines to focus on the the new ones or core ones, given HT's higher prices. HT will wind up losing revenue in the long run and so will Sideshow. Remember, the economy is still in the ____ter and there aren't miraculously millions of jobs created overnight to restock collectors' wallets.

Hellboy? They did 1 Hellboy and an Abe Sapien.

I suspect we'll see a few other characters. Henry Sr., maybe Marion. Hopefully a few villains, but I don't really even want every little character, I'll take quality over quanity.

I would see it as both of them making figures together, not against each other.
HT will prolly make the Droids.

What insanely unexpected and incredibly wonderful news.
I need a minute hear to drink this in.

Maybe but number one is already a DX and all I'll ever need.
DX figures so far have been from larger lines no?

Nice revision of your previous post.
It'd be more like Batman or Iron Man then.

Exactly the same for me. Even if they made 3 I'd only get the one personally.

Because lookie-loo eyes, a metal stand and a pretty box are worth the extra $50.
PERS are to me, I don't care about a metal stand, but it maybe something better then that. Maybe they'll include a sculpted desert base or the Ark. As was pointed out in another thread, Eye placement can really animate a figure. Being able to revise it to match your pose sure won't hurt.
We'll know in a few days which is incredible.
