I think it would be a fitting tribute to Mr. Lee to have this figure done sooner rather than later.

That would be awesome.

It's a shame we never got to hear the full story of his relationship with Qui-Gon. Or has that been covered in supplemental material?
Freakazoid!

Farewell, my Count.
Here's my tribute image to the legendary actor.

Yes, now is the time to announce a 1/6 Count Dooku. I fear though that Disney will step in and put the kibosh on anything not TFA related.

Very nice tribute but he passed on the 7th not the 11th.

It is with tremendous sadness that I learnt of the passing of Sir Christopher Lee. He was 93 years old, had not been in his usual good health for some time, but his spirit remained, as always, indomitable.
Christopher spoke seven languages; he was in every sense, a man of the world; well versed in art, politics, literature, history and science. He was scholar, a singer, an extraordinary raconteur and of course, a marvelous actor. One of my favourite things to do whenever I came to London would be to visit with Christopher and Gitte where he would regale me for hours with stories about his extraordinary life. I loved to listen to them and he loved to tell them - they were made all the more compelling because they were true - stories from his time with the SAS, through the Second World War, to the Hammer Horror years and later, his work with Tim Burton - of which he was enormously proud.
I was lucky enough to work with Chris on five films all told and it never ceased to be a thrill to see him on set. I remember him saying on my 40th Birthday (he was 80 at the time), “You’re half the man I am”. Being half the man Christopher Lee is, is more than I could ever hope for. He was a true gentleman, in an era that no longer values gentleman.
I grew up loving Christopher Lee movies. For most of my life I was enthralled by the great iconic roles he not only created - but continued to own decades later. But somewhere along the way Christopher Lee suddenly, and magically, dissolved away and he became my friend, Chris. And I loved Chris even more.
There will never be another Christopher Lee. He has a unique place in the history of cinema and in the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
The world will be a lesser place without him in it.
My deepest sympathies to Gitte and to his family and friends.
Rest in peace, Chris.

irezumi, thank you very much for sharing that! Christopher Lee was an amazing...well, everything. He will be truly missed. Like Peter said, "The world will be a lesser place without him in it."

It's tragic that Sideshow hasn't gotten around to Count Dooku (not to mention Grand Moff Tarkin). They've mad EVERY other major Sith character but Dooku. Why? Couldn't tell you, other than a simple slip in Sideshow's organization. Hopefully they will get on this. Enough waiting already.

A superb photo:
One problem with a SSC Dooku or Tarkin is that they would be heavily reliant on the headsculpt because both their outfits are pretty simple and not much in the way of accesssories. And headsculpts have not exactly been SSC's specialty - more in paint and finish (including eyes) than sculpt. And then of course you have their new standard $200+ pricepoint...

Very sad about his passing, the man has alot of great characters under his hat. I like the Count, but he would probably have been a forgettable character if played by most. Heres hoping HT knock him out, if they decide to venture into PT land.

I have been speaking out for a Dooku figure for quite some time now! Saruman looks to be coming along excellently via Asmus, I would hope that SS or HT would tackle this with some enthusiasm.
Christopher Lee also liked Metal music. He got involved with Rhapsody doing narration and had his own project Charlemagne. I also ran across some Youtube stuff of Metal Christmas specials he did and he did an interesting song of Treebeard with the LOTR choir/orchestra where he sings rather than narrates.
