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

[LoveMinusZero]

The only other versions announced are the security droids with the red paint aps. They previewed the pilot droids way back, but no announcement yet.

Well I just found an online seller in the deep dark corner of the internet that had a couple of pairs of the infantry droids at less than sideshow pricing and bought a few sets...first 1/6 I am not really sure about...just not too sure about their construction...but when they get here next week, I will open one and see what they are like in hand...I am sure I will have no trouble finding them a new home if I need to without losing any money...

...and they are here...not bad...they feel fragile....have to play with them a bit...

I noticed that the names on the backpacks are not the same as the photos on the Rebelscum site...what is the story with them?

There was a regular set and an exclusive set. The exclusive set as seen in Rebelscum's photo archives had a variant backpack with the identification numbers "1138" which is an easter egg found in all six Star Wars movies (homage to THX 1138).

I know the exclusive had a thrid backpack, but the standard two they show is not the same as the two I have here, did they have more than one letter / number set randomly packed?

Can you post a pic?

I checked online and there seem to bee several different names on the backpacks, I got one of the : DDD but the other one is IUD: which I haven't found a picture of that one yet.

I found so far about 8 different names on the backpacks, not including the 1138 exclusive one. (UUIC was another one in a review online) and I don't know what the others packs are yet, I only opened the one box since I am not sure I am keeping the droids yet...so I haven't checked what the others are.

Wow thats cool adds a bit of variation I guess

If you go back to around page 100 (post 1001) Darth Cruel had a list going of all the different numbers.

Anybody have suggestions about moving the arms at the shoulders...these guys do not have strong joints and I really don't want to force anything on them...their shoulders won't turn, and I am sure they are supposed to...and I can only get the necks about 2/3 of the way up...their chins still hit their chests...any thoughts about "softening them up"?

 

[jedibear]

On the necks....grasp the neck as close to the body as possible (don't grab by head!)...it will move with a little force (sorry, bad pun).
That's the trick I've learned with all of the droids, from Ig-88 on through Grievous...move or position it holding as close to the joint as possible.

Good luck...

Anyone getting the security droids from SS? I don't have any droids but saw they were shipping so I was thinking of ordering them with the May coupon as my first ones.
