Damn! just as impressive as the Han sculpt and arguably better than the DX sculpt

I think that Luke easily beats out the "clean" Hot Toys one. . .now, will that hold for the production head? We'll see.

Well i know what to get in next 365 days (hope so it will be released like that). Luke, Han, TaunTaun, Vader (dont have any) and Batman & Robin 60´s.

CONFIRMED!

There will be two Tauntaun heads in the set allowing collectors to choose between Luke or Han's beast

Each figure will also come with TWO heads, Luke's second will be battle-damaged, and Solo also comes with his totally inaccurate (but Kenner throw-back) blue coat. This is what makes these figures "Echo Base" as opposed to simply "Hoth" - NICE!

Nice. Just makes me worry a bit about the price.

i just don't see how they could do it any other way other than including two heads on the taun taun because i think the majority of the customers are only purchasing one. i originally wanted two & still do but might hold off on the 2nd one for a while to get a galactiboy deal.........

I can see a surplus of heads from when people buy two tauntauns!

Corrected.

This is amazing news and now makes both Luke and Han guaranteed pre-orders for me. Regardless of the inaccuracy with the coat, I was secretly pining for the blue one and just prefer it to the brown (though I'd have been content w/brown, too). Now just hoping that all of this is standard and not exclusive.

Nice. Just makes me worry a bit about the price.

Yes... nice extras, clothing, Trevor Grove headsculpts and hopefully paint apps to do it justice will be pricey.

yea.

hopefully it won't be hard to come up with some way to make a trophy mount out of the extra head.........

Oh, probot has sounds and lights, if that floats anyone's boat.

Generally sounds actually detract for me, but I like it with the Probot. Anytime I think of it, my mind recalls the transmission signal sounds it makes reporting back to the Empire in tandem, anyway. Lights are a must, though, on a release like this. Only thing I'm curious about is the articulation of the arms, though compared to the other stuff it's a secondary concern. Kinda looks like the pistons work, though.

Exactly, all this is exciting but if they're only jacking up the price and not the quality then we're screwed. But I will say this is a great presentation by SSC.

re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

Very impressive indeed. And I think they're starting to do the decal style eyes like HT does.

re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

I thought Hot Toys were collaborating with Sideshow now or was that just for the armored figures?

re: 1/6th Scale Sideshow TaunTaun

As far as I know it was just for the armored figures.
