1/6 Hot Toys -TMS102 - The Clone Wars: Darth Sidious

[BoosterGold06]

They'll make him. But it could be years from now. Like 5 minimum before in-hand. And that's being extremely generous with the time frame.

Just my opinion.

Disney doesn't prefer licensing out rights to SW content they didn't have a hand in. It happens, but very much with a guided hand from the House of Mouse.

They want THEIR version pushed, before all else.

This post is kinda funny now that Savage Opress is up for order already.

I couldn't find this guy on Sideshow's site at all. I ended up ordering from BBTS. Anyone else not able to find this at Sideshow? Even sold out items usually show up...

Odd that when I search it doesn't come up as one of the options... He's on waitlist at Sideshow but I was able to pre-order one at BBTS...

I ended up canceling my fully paid off (flex pay) PO for this guy, unfortunately. I needed to fund my HT Batmobile...

I'm on the waitlist now but I'll fall back to PopCultcha if all else fails. He's still a necessity in my collection.

Chopper was all over the place in the Facebook app. I had to open Facebook in a browser to see Sidious. Annoying.

Glad I found this at BBTS recently after the Savage announcement. He looks amazing!

Same. Weird that it came on the day the blogger photos hit.

Though, their batches of Tech still haven’t gone out and he released about a month ago.

It’s still listed for sale on SSC site . (Both this and the OT version are available..}Be waiting a while on BBTS

I’m thinking of using this as my chancellor palpatine representation. Not doing a clone wars display other than a few figures. Not sure about how the sculpt works for the chancellor in aotc. Hopefully review videos pop up soon.

It was waitlisted on SSC for quite a while. Interesting.

It was waitlisted on SSC for quite a while. Interesting.

And this is why people started to ignore them. And believe it was a pressure sales tactic. Happened before with several other figures.

SO either

A, it having sold out and waitlisted was BS so people PO early or jump on wait list immediately.
B, they had so many people join the waitlist they decided to do another small run. Especially after Savage release.
C, lots of cancellations from people who decided they want the ROTS version instead, and just now they are opening this back up for PO
