Oh look, my waitlist converted (along with 4 other ppl in the same chat as me) and she magically is back in stock! Shes coupon eligible though. 10% off or the $25 off

Mine too. I was hoping to hold off until we get some Ahsoka announcements but I may have to pull the trigger because...FOMO. I wonder if her being waitlisted is due to legitimate lack of availability or SS trickery.

I'm assuming it was trickery. Idk how she went waitlisted and then right back to full stock a few days later. Not even low stock, just right back to "in stock"

I thought it was showing in stock for me because of the waitlist opportunity but then I logged out of my account and same thing. So maybe I will hold off after all - at least until we get some Ahsoka annoucements as those will very likely end up hurting my wallet.

I should've done the same thing, but after it converted and I happened to be in the Sideshow YouTube chat at the time seeing multiple people's converting, I figured I should jump real quick. And plus getting the 10% off was okay. Then seeing it back in full stock...I was mad at myself for falling for the trick. But I'm sure I'll see it on sale eventually for 25% off At least wait until it's "low stock" if you really want it. She's definitely a beautiful figure with an excellent sculpt so I'm not too upset, but I just hate when they do their shenanigans

Has anyone posed Koska flipping Fett yet?

 

[Zurdo95D]

As much as I love the head sculpt, getting the figure to realistically hold the helmet in hand wasn't working for me, so she's now helmeted and the sculpt sits in the box... Glass half full, the helmet does really bring the whole thing together, with the rich blue colors.

Currently, I’ve been leaning more toward displaying the unmasked/un-helmeted portraits for fully suited characters, and so I’m gleefully going to have her un-helmeted Some also just pop the head sculpt on seamless or different bodies to make use of it too lol

Koska's here.

I love the armour colour and weathering. The body also has a good, natural shape, except for the arms that don't want to naturally lay close to the body. I managed to somehow work the left arm closer, so it's possible.

Really like the sculpt, and may actually use it on the figure.

 

[Asta]

I didn't pull the wrapper off the neck post so her head may be sitting a little too high at the moment.

 

[Asta]

I've removed the wrapper from the neck now.

Not a fan of flight stands, and especially in Koska's case because there are pleather patches right where the arms grab her sides.

She's hot stuff all right, but those flames have got to be really hot there!

Yeah at the end of the day she's a great figure so congrats!

Nice pics @Asta ! She's a beautiful figure indeed!

Agreed; I'm not too fond of them only including the flight pole. It'd be beneficial if they included both the flight pole and the cradle stand so one can have either option.

Thanks, Zurdo.

Beautiful shots indeed. I didn't expect to like this figure as much as I do. Looks great in the "Mando" section...

The Varnado sculpt is a pleasant surprise. Turned out really well, too!

The Sackhoff sculpt was never strong but it looks really bad by comparison.

But doesn’t really matter to me ultimately. Just happy to be able to have the trio.

Now I need to keep my word to @Wor-Gar and find someone to make a Fett-Flipper Koska plaque.

So uh, have you yet?

 

[Asta]

Still can't get over how well this figure came out, and how much I like her.

I love the armour colour. There's a richness and depth to it greater than any other Mandalorian I have.

The Death Watch now has a purpose since he looks like he belongs with Koska.

So Koska 2.0 with knee darts incoming?

Man, Sideshow really doesn’t want to discount this one. I’d definitely like a Koska figure, but I definitely don’t want one at full price.
