Holy Crap!! They did it!

Holy Crap!! They did it!

Yep they seem to have got the message of "don't show "realistic" figures or vehicles and not follow up on them".

I'd still put Mando's N1 Starfighter as "unrealistic" simply due to size. But prove me wrong HT !

The inevitable question people will ask:

“Will this fit in a Detolf?”

“…sure.”

Sick weathering on the feet. That base/destructred wall is also pretty nice.

Not hard to make yourself from foam either.

Judging by the pics, I'm curious how poseable the legs will be? The folded pose obviously shows movement there, but there's no other pics other that it just standing upright, both feet firmly below it.

Probably a simple ratchet system at the knee joints and ankles.

There was one pic with Anakin and Ahsoka with Ahsoka's taking a step.

They're massive when you consider the size of a 1/6 figure !!

Missed this pic - that's a good sign there.

50cm is about 20 inches, so it’ll be about 2 feet tall with a figure riding it.

Hopefully they put some thought into making it stable long term. I intend to display one wrecked on its side but I’d like one standing as well. Would hate to come back to it on the floor one day.

I'm hoping these sell (I think they will), get a couple of folks to grab the BARC so HT sees we want more Clone Wars. So much untapped potential. This is definitely a huge step in the right direction, just hope it keeps going that way.

 

[Smudger9]

I would be interested….. if it was the Kashyyk version from ROTS. What is HT’s aversion at the moment to releasing figures from the movies?

 

[slynger]

I know the figure is on a stand, but they just about nailed the size when it comes to scaling.

Prices are not bad. Far better to get the ARF Trooper set though. Even if someone just wants the AT-RT, they’d be better off selling the ARF.

The ARF Trooper only being $145 almost feels like a mistake considering troopers are moving into $230-$235 territory.

Almost made me want to preorder it now in case they change their mind and raise the price when I saw it on their site.

That'd make a cool display. A pity you couldn't get a 3D print of one to create the wrecked version....

Okay, maybe wrecked was a poor word choice; more so gently placed on its side in a “it’s still a pricey collectible” sort of way.

I was saving all my RP, expecting it to be in the $600 range lol, I feel like this is more than acceptable, going to be around $120 out of pocket for me when it is all said and done after my "thank you" coupon and RP.

Wasn't expecting both speeder bikes to be more expensive honestly.

Up at Sideshow - $435 for the pair

I could care less about the clone trooper, but the AT-RT is pretty cool. I don't have any space, so it's not even a discussion.

I have points due in mid-dec plus 15% off so I'll be all over this in about 3 weeks.
