[Asta]

Going up for pre-order 28th October.

News at 24:05:




He'll be a "very limited" Sideshow Exclusive.

I now see why they chose him with that head of development guy saying Labria was his all-time fave from the cantina, but it's such a strange choice for a SSC revisit to the cantina versus Hammerhead 2.0 and/or Snaggletooth.

Even Labrun Leids (four arms + gas mask/goggles) would have been a strong choice over Labria if you wanted to stray from Kenner like they did with Garindan and Labria.

Evazan is fine as he's a nice duo with Walrusman and has maybe the second most prominent cantina creature role behind Greedo.

I really worry that poor sales of Garindan, Labria and Evazan (weak character choice at time of too many 1/6 choices, and as always with Sideshow, price, especially because people know what they're getting) is going to whittle back the ROTJ line-up by half.

I'm probably in for this as that close up in the cantina is really memorable for eight year old me. I've already got Ponda and Greedo on pre-order so will likely snag this and Garindan and just acquiesce to the fact that I'm going to go in on these and the Jabba's Palace figures despite their price tags. "This is why you fail"

Is he even in the movie anymore after all the SE cuts...?

Just popped out to Disney plus to confirm. He is indeed still there!

I've watch A New Hope, at minimum, 50 times in my life. I legitimately cannot recall seeing this character. I guess I'm going to have to watch again and pay really close attention in the cantina.

It’s because he’s essentially a blink and you miss him character. He doesn’t do anything. Looks cool but that’s it.

He was just a guy in a devil mask to fill out the cantina.

I'm pretty sure the actor was a woman, unless it's a guy with great eyelashes

By George, you're right!

However, according to Wookieepedia...

Pronouns He/him

Labria was his alias, real name Kardue'sai'Malloc.

Behind the scenes​

Filming and costume​

Kardue'sai'Malloc's mask was created by Rick Baker.

Kardue'sai'Malloc was portrayed by Penny McCarthy[16] in the original trilogy film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope,[3] which was released on May 25, 1977.[17] The character's shots were filmed during additional photography[18] in post-production where supplemental footage was created for the cantina sequence[19] on a sound stage in Dovington's Hollywood studio between January 24 and 25, 1977.[20]
Makeup artist Rick Baker created the latex mask used for Kardue'sai'Malloc for an early 1970s John Landis film pitch that was never released called "I was a Teenage Vampire," and it was then used in "The Thing in the Attic," a Halloween show by Bob Burns in 1974.[21] By the time it was used in Star Wars, the mask had been altered by shortening the horns and removing a beard.[22] The character was called "Louie," "the Devil,"[18] and "Devil Guy" on set.[22] The mask was later gifted to Burns and his wife, Kathy Burns, who then had it partially restored for display by Tom Spina Designs, as it had become distorted.[21]

The pleather tunic is probably the dealbreaker for me on this fig. So many PT Anakins and Star Lords with the same tunic/coat type - peeling.

What a curse pleather has turned out to be in 1/6, and you'd think after 15+ years of very high end 1/6 figs the issue would have been solved by now.

How could anyone forget/not notice this shot (not to mention the cackle sound effect)?

I'd venture to guess RandomHero is not a detective or a cop.

The video is still up. Watched that part again and Guy just said it would be today.

About​

“The band is good, eh?”

Sideshow presents the Labria™ Sixth Scale High-End Collectible Figure. This officially licensed Star Wars™ collectible is running from a wicked past life into your collection.

Evil wears many faces. Crooked and cruel, the Devaronian known as Labria escapes the large bounty on his head by skulking through cantinas. But it’s difficult for a vicious army captain to stay hidden with huge horns, red skin, and a row of yellowing teeth that show every time he smiles at someone else’s misfortune… Still, if Labria’s home planet doesn’t want him, the beings that linger at sketchy space ports could definitely use Kardue’sai’Malloc’s skills!

Inspired by the character’s appearance in A New Hope™, this fully articulated, highly poseable high-end Star Wars figure wears cut and sew clothing befitting a disguised man of his distinguished station. His costume includes a dark gray cravat, a navy-blue shirt, and a black vest, cape, pants, boots, and gloves. The Labria™ Sixth Scale High-End Collectible Figure comes with a blaster, blaster holster, and a hand for holding the blaster. Additionally, the figure features a pair of relaxed hands and a pair of gesturing hands to increase display options, allowing fans to recreate his most memorable moments in Mos Eisley.

The Labria™ Sixth Scale High-End Collectible Figure is the latest addition to Sideshow’s Scum & Villainy line of high-end collectibles which bring your favorite outlaws all the way from a galaxy far, far away to your nearest home space port. Keep your senses sharp and be on the lookout for more infamous characters in this delightfully dangerous series of limited-edition high-end figures.
