Sideshow Collectibles has been dropping videos for a number of tours and reveals. Two of the newer ones are the Hot Toys Summer showcase, and the Tuesday Booth Tour (which as been updated). We haven’t had a chance to comb through the videos. But you can feel free to check them out below. Be sure to check out the Sideshow Con 2020 Video Playlist for every video they are making available.

Previews From Sideshow Con 2020
Great, more previews for "upcoming" figures to go with the others that have been shown off and never been released.
I'll say this: Those Obi-Wan and Anakin figures may be headed for purgatory but not releasing that classic Spider-Man would be a colossal failure.

I'm a bit surprised these were their first teases, since they're all very much wanted, but also pretty expected. So maybe that's why they showed these figures now.

On top of that HT Would rather release translucent Mark IV as opposed to Padme, Jango Fett, C-3PO and Cyborg. So no, I'm not kidding. I also said "maybe" so if the preorders go up please don't come back with "I told you so." Anyone actually paying attention to HT over the years knows a teaser or a prototype means absolutely nothing until the preorder goes up.

The first 3 should be general releases and not exclusives. Howard Chan said in an interview that they're not making Cyborg, so just forget that one totally.
Baby Yoda got a large wall for himself with a custom background lol. It’s like he is the main attraction.
I am only interested in the Ventress statue of theirs and it looks quiet good.
The Spidey looks like a beaut. Sadly, the tights will get in the way for any classic McFarlane or Bagley-style Spidey poses. Only reason I never bought any of the several other 1:6 Spideys.
I didn't watch the booth tour, but is that ~1/12th Scarlet Spider in the neutral pose a statue?

They're probably looking at the secondary market, seeing the prices that are being charged and sales being closed and concluding that there is still demand for that figure, hence the re-release...

Bespin Luke is the perfect example of what you're talking about and you completely ignored it, probably because you know it completely wrecks your argument. That's been going for over double it's MSRP for years yet the prototype they showed off last year has not been put into production. The truth is if HT re-released every figure that goes for double on the secondary market the delays would be longer than they already are, not to mention the fact that they receive no money off of random eBayers downsizing their collection, questioning why they care in the first place.
The translucent Mark IV was brought up as an example of the absurd lengths HT goes to sell anything Iron Man-related as opposed to making unique figures that put them on the map. Should I have brought up the stealth versions? The Neon ones? The seemingly endless redo's in diecast of the original suits? Pointing out that translucent Mark IV is exclusive is just semantics that has nothing to do with what I said.
And I'm well aware that Cyborg is not coming out. The question is why. Again, semantics that have nothing to do with what I said.
If Hot Toys was really looking at the secondary market you would see re-releases of Bespin Luke, Mark 46, '89 Batman, '89 Joker, Bane, Joker 2.0, TDKR Batman, AOU Hulk, Gladiator Hulk, Hela, I could go on all day.
There are dozens of HT figures going for double their MSRP on the secondary market right now that HT are never revisiting again, therefore this argument regarding the secondary market makes no sense.
And again, I never said they WOULDN'T release them, I just said I'll wait until the preorder goes up to believe it. Fun fact that you're not gonna hear from dukefett: None of the prototypes currently listed on Sideshow's Web Site as "coming soon" were shown off at the preview booth today. Maybe there are special circumstances as to why but history-that being HT's long history of showing off prototypes and not issuing them for preorder-says otherwise.

Snowspeeder Luke... glad I passed on Sideshow's.
And what is that rancor? I love it! 😍
Nothing outstanding or "worth having" yet........maybe that classic suit spidey.
I hope the Mythos Statues of Maul and Ventress would eventually come to Hot Toys line.
Can anyone ask Howard this question?
The Eternals big movies will showcase Celestials.
Can the great HT create awesome larger than Life Size Busts of these?
Imagine these large Celestials next to action figures!!

Alright those surf's up Joker and Batman figures are pretty damn great, I just hope they aren't too expensive

Jump the Shark. Would of thought a Fonz statue would go great with this. Surfer ones are intriguing. But that Silver Surfer looks real nice. Dreams of an ultimate definitive articulated version of him still linger on.
