12" figures and more. Even if it takes a few years to happen, I'm really excited about this news. :chew
Q: Does Sideshow have the rights in their Star Wars license agreement to create products based on Ralph McQuarrie’s or any concept artists’ designs? Specifically in 1/6th scale.
A: We do believe that our 12-inch figure line could include McQuarrie style figures.
Q: What are the odds we can see 12-inch Luke Skywalker from the Dark Empire series or in Jedi Masters robes as depicted in the cover of Legacy #7? How about some of the characters based on Ralph McQuarrie’s design, such as Hasbro did for their line? I know there are more (plenty of) characters we need from the movies ( I’m looking at you Jango Fett, Boba Fett, Count Dooku…etc), but one can hope for more Expanded Universe Characters in the line.
Q: Yes, we are considering almost all of the characters that you describe. We’re sensitive to how many versions of Luke are offered in our lines, so the Legacy Luke is likely to be a little ways off. McQuarrie’s designs are likely to appear within our lines, although we’re considering his work for all lines (not just 12-inch).
