Exclusives are never winning battle for most companies. Make something too obscure and it’s not wanted. It’s it’s too desirable people are upset it’s not a general release. Even with a good choice like this, having it pre-made and ready to go you run the risk of making too many or not enough. If...
Well they also stole Sideshow’s Grievous statue photo for the CW Obi-Wan so it seems to be a growing trend with them lately as both Obi-Wans seem to have photography elements that weren’t theirs their products. They could have had an understanding with Sideshow but it doesn’t sound like they...
Yeah I’m not a fan of making thinks unnecessarily heavy. Weight holds no value visually. Never understood why some people felt a statue was a rip off if it wasn’t heavy. I’d rather take a durable plastic statue, base, or diorama than one made of heavy, brittle polystone.
At nearly $600 I think I’m ultimately going to have to pass. Nearly $2,000 by the end for the trio. It will be a mighty fine display but I just don’t know if InArt is for me.
I think the only real nit I have seeing them side by side is the fabric choice is off on the figure. The hood has a much shinier, silk like appearance on the actual costume. The figure has a much coarser, rougher looking fabric. Palpatine was a snazzy dresser before he gave up and exclusively...
Looks like he’ll coming with the red coin at the event (guess this is still going and apart of it?) and the gold coin for select markets (aka Sideshow).
Other than when telling young Skywalker he was going to die, the Yoda fight might have been one of the few moments we really saw Palpatine enjoying himself and grinning. A smirk here and there for sure, but not a full on smile and cackle. It’s very fitting for this outfit.
Aphra needs to come ASAP. If they don’t, I fear they’ll never release her. Santy has a decent chance coming in under the Book of Boba Fett banner. I’m a little surprised they haven’t done him yet, but it’s been a while since they did a Wookiee. I fear they’d make him an ‘Artisan’ figure now...
At the rate HT has been pumping out Star Wars figures over the last month you’d think they’re losing the license or something. Kinda crazy numbers but some really unique and interesting figures and choices happening, even if a couple of turds like the chrome Cody and Goldie came from the batch...
It’s very much something I’d have expected from Hasbro, but HT beat them to the punch. Still expecting Hasbro to do this for the 3 3/4” line since they just did Jango and are on a Mando repaint kick.
I always assumed this and that CW look were the same outfit. He wears the same red/maroon outfit as the office duel throughout different CW episodes. I just assumed they borrowed those outfits rather than designing all new ones for him. I’d almost have preferred a single release with both heads...
