1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure LINK IN 1ST POST!

[devilof76]

They should have done the Hoth Rebel before they abandoned the Buck, just for consistency's sake, but that's not important now. I've been waiting to have all three forever. My plan has been those three accompanied by a Sandtrooper, a Snowtrooper and a Biker Scout. Haven't had a new addition in a while.

Sideshow's complete and total omission of anything and everything 1/6th Hoth boggles the mind. Someone mentioned wanting them to do a Probe Droid in the "Next 1/6th Star Wars Figure" thread and it temporarily made me pause the Walrusman campaign, at least for a second or two.... Still, how awesome would a 1/6th Probe Droid be?

I thought the Probe Droid was announced at SDCC. Or at least it was in the planning stages.

It would be incredible. Seems like a logical progression from IG-88 too. Same with 2-1B and FX-7.

Damn, I want more droids...but yes, Hoth. Why is there no Snowtrooper yet? We have how many clones???

You're trying to get yet another kiss out of me, aren't you, Batty?

Really though, I don't remember that at all. Hope you're right!!

Seems like a Snowtrooper would be easy... hell, they don't even need the armor body for that one.

[Natrix]

From RS, right? I know I read that somewhere...

Forgot about that Elvis PF.... Didn't Waller win a D'an? You know, it's really amazing how much stuff SS gives away during Christmas. Such a bad ass (not using that in the pejorative )
company.

Not to mention those $25.00 gift codes that went out the other day, that was really damn cool as well.

What $25.00 gift codes? I never received any code...F'n Sideshow...

Yep; Probe droids are a definite and they showed a WIP of a Taun Taun. So hoth is coming; just not positive when.

I'm pretty sure I'll buy a Probe Droid and I'd love a Taun Taun, but I think it would have to have fur to be a purchase. I'm okay with the Dewbacks strip of hair being sculpted, but the entire body would be a different story.

Pucker up!

Damn, that was so long ago I forgot... 1/6th Landspeeder too!

It was an email thanking me for being a customer for 5 years.

 

[galactiboy]

Ahh... so that is the code people were talking about. 5 years; pssh... try 10

 

[SilentSurfer]

I worked on a bit of the upcoming Hoth stuff. I've been wondering when they'll finally show it.

On a related note, I wonder when we might finally see this.

since you are no longer there,what are you up to now?

Probe Droid is a definite buy for me. I wouldn't mind a sound function either.

[galactiboy]

Yeah, that would be very cool if it had a sound function I was pretty happy to get a loose Kenner probe droid in a lot of figures a couple years ago... I always wanted the one my brother owned, but was too lazy to buy the turret set it came with

 

[Batty]

It could even have a motion sensor so it goes off when you walk by.

Wonderful news, Nathan!

Hopefully they leave off the self-destruct! While a cool feature, it would only work once and be pretty costly

I have to say, I was pretty lukewarm about the Star Wars environment pieces after Jabba's throne. But so far I've got Jabba's throne, the Imperial Throne, Yoda's Hut and the Dewback is en-route. And honestly I've been very impressed with all of them.

I don't plan on getting the Cantina ones mostly due to space issues... but I've really come around to these.

From SSC customer service manager three hours ago -

"as soon as the items are arrived in the warehouse we will get this shipped out to you"

Not in the SSC warehouse yet...

 

[galactiboy]

Odd... I didn't think they charged until the items were in the warehouse Oh well, its coming soon and that's all that matters
