I'm hoping she's coming, but I have my doubts. And it's unlikely Sideshow will do any of the other figures you mentioned above. They are very minimally doing any 1/6 scale figures now since Hot Toys dominates that market. They already did an off-model Asajj Ventress figure years ago and blew their chance to do Cad Bane, instead cheaply sculpting his head to stick on a clone wars body for the episode where he was disguised in clone armor and never bothered revisiting that headsculpt to put it on a proper Cad Bane body. I can't see them putting forth the production expense of doing unique sculpts for Savage or Pong either unfortunately.

There’s the holo accessory and the larger image of Obi and Anakin with Ahsoka on the large Holo screen. It’s not teasing the prototype by inserting her shoulder into an image like HT does but I interpret it as SSC saying “Yes, we know Ahsoka is a vital ingredient to this set” so, if sales are good, I don’t see why they wouldn’t delve further into this line.

The POS Asajj they made years ago is absolutely not a reason to dismiss them producing an updated and vastly superior version in this new line. They’ve updated Joker, Batman and Harley when the original issues were nowhere near as bad as their Ventress.
Pong Krell is totally wishful thinking but everyone loves a good Maul and CW gives a few brilliant iterations of the character and, if you’re doing Maul, why not do Savage?

I’m just looking at it with more positive expectations. Hot Toys rules the roost and their Star Wars figures are of such a higher standard than SSC that it’s probably smart of them to not even try to compete with the live action characters anymore but, HT doesn’t seem interested in the animated style at all, so SSC can carve themselves out a nice piece of the Star Wars pie if enough collectors show interested in these two.
