1/6 Scale Sideshow Bossk Figure

[TaliBane]

Damn!!! I was also hoping for rooted scales!!

Well, you DO get scaly sausage-limbs though.

Unfortunately with v.2, they'll cost you $50 more and you'll only get one headsculpt, not two.

so TaliBane will you be getting this new version of bossk?

One thing I didn't really notice before, does anyone think that his arms and legs look a bit out of proportion? They seem a tad too long for me.

Probably. Waiting for better pics/vids.

Especially after IG-88, which seems to have been a total disaster. The extra $50 and minus the bonus head for Bossk I'm not happy about though. If you're re-releasing old figs with tweaks and charging 33% more, you REALLY want to deliver.

And I swore the Luke Snowspeeder was my last SSC fig.

I have a super heavily modded Hasbro Bossk that's half complete I'd stick with if this SSC one doesn't work out.

The legs have that "pants rolled up at the beach" look. It's the thing I keep harping on about with this figure - the arms and legs look a bit strange. Hoping a really well posed and futzed set of in-hand pics will convince me.

That youtube reviewer really made no effort at all to futz the outfit. You'd think he'd do an ESB BH classic pose seeing how that's what the fig was re-made to resemble more closely.

Isn't that the same crazy Youtube guy who burns his figures? Sounds like him.

The video is a little grainy even on HD and the lighting is pretty gloomy and warm, but the color on Bossk still looks noticeably too dark. The V.1 release wasn't very accurate to ESB movie Bossk in terms of sculpt, but the color seemed very close. Hopefully new videos/pics in better lighting will show it's not as dark as it has seemed in all the pics so far.

V1 color is nowhere near how it should be. It's just completely off.

got my shipping notice should be with me by monday

I'm not a fan of the v.1 figure, but it has that mustard-ish look he has in ESB (though he needs a touch of green.) Guess it varies on what pics you are looking at.

I'm hoping the v.2 is closer, but it looks so dark thus far (admittedly with some quite crappy pics and vids.)

In-hand pics are going to be great for the v.2.

 

[Futurion]

V1 is too light. V2 too dark. Seems like SSC isn't able to match the right color. They are hopeless sometimes.

 

[medicomsucks]

Another variable is the film itself, when I watch the bluray of esb, and look at production stills, the colors on everyone are a little darker or brighter, so that could also be a reason.

Mine should be here Tuesday. Can't wait!

Got tracking last night. Mine should be here Tuesday as well.

reminds me of like when you get off the toilet and you're looking at your poop and you're not sure what color it is...

Looks off from the prototype. Too shiny.

mine arrived couple of hours ago and just put it on display and has such a presence on the shelf with the other figures absolutely love it ! and could be my favourite out of the 14 hot toys/sideshow figures I have bought since I started collecting them earlier this year ( would be 16 but sold my anh leia and anh han solo and 17 if you include k-2so I have had bought for me for Christmas )

the skin tone seems a little lighter inhand still quite dark but I like it , the spread out claw hands suck a bit and really wish they had included another headsculpt like with the v1
