SS figures def still holding it down in the collection... only regerts I have is that I departed with all my SS Sandtroopers thinking HT was going to come fast and steady with their versions after the orange pauldron squad leader set the tone... but I still have supporting cast members even outside cantina and jabba aliens from SS that hold up as background display characters not to be focused on, heads low etc. such as Endor troops and rebel troops, behind center characters like Leia standing in front of the blockade rebels, and Endor Luke & Leia leading the Endor rebels
I've still got the Probe Droid, E-Web, and Skiff Lando but that's about it. My first 1/6 figures were all SS around the time I joined here: Han/Luke Hoth, Vader, TaunTaun. Was quickly hooked.
I'm not sure how much of that is actually a hurdle. The likeness issues aren't typically handled separately for a fabricated character and an performed character - Disney (or whoever holds the rights) usually manages that along with everything else. It's possible some actors hold some likeness review - and that might add a bit of time - but it wouldn't typically affect the cost to a third party like Sideshow.
If there are more waves, wave 3 could focus on the bounty hunters for esb.
Yes, It is. As always both versions are very likely going to have their pros and cons. Judging by these first-look photos the v.2 suit is a tighter fit for the body, but the onscreen costume always came accross as being oversized so It's not necessarily a more "accurate" take. The v.1 Headsculpt is very good i.m.o. and the skin/eye colors (while pretty simplified and one dimensional) are fairly close when compared to the movie screenshot. I'd definitely recommend a repaint/touch-up before putting it on display though...
Hell yeah, Wolfman!Interestingly Skeleton Crew might inspire HT to drop a Wolfman, new Ree-Yees and Klatoonian?
He actually reminds me of the lackeys from the Netflix MST3K series.^ Phantom Menace extra?
LOL he missed his cue, everyone else "following" the speeders looking left to right.
Reminds me of the Scooby Doo and the Spooky Space Kook
If he gets a figure I seriously hope they call him that!
Yeah, Just saw the absolutely ridiculous prices on the Sideshow website (Especially for overseas import). I'm going to skip the entire Mos Eisley batch and see if there's maybe a couple of figures from Jabba's Palace worth adding. They're gonna have to outdo the fan customs I already own by quite some marigin though for me to bite at these rates...
I feel like based on height and silhouette, bottom middle could also be Yak Face
