I just read at the Side Show website that they will be tied into the new Star Wars prop license with an outside company. Does anyone know more about this new venture?
Side Show tied into the SW replica license?

Museum Replicas Joins With Lucas Licensing
February 29, 2008 | 4:26 PM EST | Mark
Museum Replicas Ltd. announced February 22 an agreement with Lucasfilm to create licensed Star Wars products. The new line will include full-sized, wearable clothing and armor replicas from a wide range of iconic Star Wars characters, scheduled for debut at the 2008 Comic-Con International this July.
Sideshow plans to support Museum Replicas with distribution, and will be offering the Star Wars costume and replica line for pre-order once details have been released. “We’ve been long-time fans of Museum Replicas product,” says Sideshow President and CEO Greg Anzalone. “This new category will allow for expanded opportunities in Star Wars collecting, and Sideshow will be proud to offer these costume replicas to passionate, discerning fans.”
Some collaboration in life-size character representations may even be on the horizon with the creative influence of the Sideshow Collectibles Design and Development Team. Sideshow Creative Director Tom Gilliland was pleased to hear of this new opportunity, stating, “It was nice to read the good news of the Museum Replicas license, and I look forward to working with them to bring not only their core product of outstanding full-scale costume replicas to collectors, but also the items that result from the combination of our talents in the potential life-size character arena. A good team-effort is invaluable, and our combined creative efforts should produce some great pieces.” Looks like some long-awaited high-end Star Wars costumes are on the way, so keep an eye out for these highly-anticipated releases!

That is so interesting because I thought that eFX was picking up the license, their "teaser" site now features Stormtroopers and reads HELMETS. And as I understand it they too are going to debut at Comic Con. What gives? Master Replicas could not continue with the Star Wars line...and now just like that there is going to be two company's producing SW props...? I guess I will believe it when I see it :confused
This is not exactly old news but there has been a fair amount of
discussion already about it here:
http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=39519
efx will be doing more of the non costume stuff such as studio scale ships.
eFx can do helmets so there will be some overlap. But that is nothing
new for Lucasfilm licensing - eg GG and Sideshow have both been making
statues for years now.

You're right about the statues being produced by both GG and SS but I was basically referring to the high end props...blasters, sabers, helmets, armor and so forth. That makes sense that one would focus on costumes while the other on weapons. Thx

My understanding, is that EFx will do the props. Helmets, weapons, SS ships and the like.
Museum Replicas will do Costumes. These costumes may well include some 'prop' items. While MR may/will part out some of the costume peices, they may well be unable to sell the 'props' individually, such as the helmets, and weapons so as not to interfere with eFX's license.
