Doesn't matter. It's still clearly inaccurate to the source material.
If they fixed it to make it more accurate, would you not like that? I can guess you wouldn't care either way.
So why are you defending Sideshow against people who want a $175 toy to be a bit more accurate than Hasbro's 12" figure? Even Hasbro's 3 3/4" version...
It's a win-win for you.
I'm not defending anything. I was just pointing out that numerous eyes I talked to at comic-con didn't notice it. Thats all.
I was just looking at pics of IG-86's and that one piece does appear to be the difference between the two. I'm not sure how that would figure though. This is not an IG-86 droid.
Well, if you want to reach into conspiracies could be LFL wanting to tie the two together. They've done stranger things.
