1/6th Scale Sideshow Battle Droids (Clean, Commander, Security, etc)

How well do they stand without a base?

Both of mine are OK. As you can see in the pic, one's standing while one's kneeling. I won't worry about them falling unless you're in an earthquake area.

Got mine today, and I really love them. The articulation is stiff, but fantastic. My only complaint would be that the backpacks really are a bit larger than they should be. They protrude above their shoulders way more than in the film. Take this screenshot, for example:

The backpacks in EpII as you pictured are a bit smaller. The packs in EpI are larger, and this is what the Sideshow packs reflect.

And here's good old Exclusive pack 1138

No, check again...if you look at the top of the backpack in comparison to the bottom of the prongs on the back of the head, you can see that the backpack is too big. The prongs nearly touch the backpack on the SSC figure, but in TPM and AOTC, they do not.

 

[Natrix]

Are these guys cool?

Does a battle droid ____ during a fight??

YES!!!

Yeah, I can see that. I wonder then if the Sideshow necks might be a bit too short.

Well worth picking up....







Not sure where I'm going to put these guys-- for now they're hanging out with some Ep I stuff...

Nice! I tried my hand at Tambor a few years ago, but I just didn't have the time to commit. I hope SSC makes him eventually.

I got mine today and I'm just speechless. SS did a great job on these the articulation is sick and 2 for the price of one you cant beat that. I'm really impressed with this figure, now I cant wait for IG-88, Grievous, and hopefully C3-PO.
As for the back packs not fitting I took a soldering iron and melted the tips of the back packs so they wont fall out. We need to send SS a letter and tell them magnets would do these back packs some good.

Probally my most hated Star Wars character ever behind say GL family cameo and then Jar Jar, oh and the "death sticks" character too.

It is a shame we didn't get to see Anakin slay Wat Tambor.

I'm blown away by how cool these figures are.

I didn't have any problems with the joints, but I was careful with the shoulders; once you do get them to move it's no problem at all. The head and neck both pulled up and swivel with no problems. I think it may have helped that I waited about 6 hours before actually opening them. This way they were room temperature.

More pics tomorrow in daylight.

 

[Natrix]

You don't have the necks fully extended in your pics Batty.

 

[The Josh]

Great shots everyone!

 

[Batty]

You don't have the necks fully extended in your pics Batty.

Yep, I just pulled them up.

 

[Batty]

These make me want IG-88 even more now. I can't to have it in hand.
