Cranky Girl Geek Is Cranky

So I occasionally buy things through Sideshow Collectibles, and I’m subscribed to their newsletter so I don’t miss any information about upcoming Rogue figurines.

Today I got the newsletter and it had a “go vote for the Avatar character you’d like to see as a maquette!” poll, and so, gleeful, I went to vote for Neytiri, because I’d buy a Neytiri

Really? I figured it'd be a slam dunk that they'd make her first and then offer some others. And don't they already have a maquette of Col. Dickhead? I seem to remember seeing an ad on AICN...

I still haven't bought anything from SideShow, though everyonce in a while I think about snatching up the Moria environment (when it's offer or reoffered). Out of curiosity, which statues do you have? Mostly Rogue? :)

ETA: They do have the Col along with a mech. http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=300032&utm_source=listing-300032&utm_campaign=listing&utm_source=online

Still no clue as to why Neytiri isn't on the poll. Maybe she's already in production?

I thought it'd be a slam dunk, too, which is probably part of why it annoys me SO VERY MUCH that she's not even on the list. And I did think of the possibility she was already in production, so I did a search on the site, but no love. 'Neytiri' wasn't recognized. ALLGHGGH.

Yeah, mostly Rogues and Gambits. I haven't bought anything in quite a long time--there are at least two or three figurine/statue/maquettes out that I don't have, including the Adam Hughes one. If the actual statue was *half* as great as his drawing I'd have snatched it up, but I think the drawing's expression's adorable and the statue's is totally evil.

Isn't that the 'Sideshow Exclusive', the one in the drawing? Or is the whole thing the Sideshow Exclusive?

[mizkit]

The whole thing's the exclusive. The sculptor just wasn't good enough to translate the cute of the drawing to the mold. Or opted not to, but given that very few statues reflect their original drawings 100%, usually to the statue's detriment, I'm inclined to think it's a difficulty in translation. (Not that I could do it. But nevermind that.)

I hope that you have frothed directly to them on the matter. Because WTF?

[mizkit]

I did, actually, yeah. I both left a comment on the page (which may or may not survive moderation; I wasn't profane, but I was sarcastic) and I emailed their production line address. Because *glglglghggh* *rattles them*!

[gows]

Good on ya. *firm nod*

You. Sarcastic? This can not be. LOL
