12" Clone Wars Obi-Wan in CLONE ARMOR!

[pixletwin]

Where does it say HT helped them with the armor? I don't think they did.

I believe Sidehsow said it at CIV.. I thought you were there?

as happy as I am about SSC catching up on their game in 1/6, I think its totally ridiculous that you guys are bashing medi for what they have accomplished. medi started making armor figures way back in 2001, it took ssc long enough to finally break into that catagory. Also, ssc didn't do this on their own. its a collaboration with HT, and I dont really that many post on the thread giving HT credit. and lastly, everyone of you harp on medi prices, SSC (and HT) prices are going up and magically many of you states you'll but no matter what the price is.

The price will determine how well this item is received. If it's in the Medi-range, there will be a lot of *****ing and moaning. If SS can get this in under $100, it will be a huge success and pretty much bury the other two.

Wow... somebody has been spreading a potent drug in this thread... Every post reads as a lucid dream... DISGUSTING!

I think they said HT was helping out with 'a' new body. It looks like we are in store for more than one - this one could be all in house for all we know.

Other two? What other two?

Fixed my friend!

fixed what?

 

[MaulFan]

Other two? What other two?

Hot Toys and Medicom. If Sideshow can release this figure for cheaper than HT or Medi would, that's a big success for them.

perhaps, hopefully hobbit body is not the only one then.

 

[MaulFan]

I think it's safe to say at this stage, Sideshow has 3 new bodies at least.

1) Child Body

2) Armored Adult Body

3) Standard Adult Body

I've been busy today, so I haven't read much of the rest of this already huge thread, but I must say that it looks like a great figure. I think the face could look a little bit more like Ewan McGregor, but that's a minor nitpick. My only concern is the price. There's no way this is going to be less than $100, and I wouldn't be too surprised if it was $120 or more. The days of me buying every Star Wars figure are probably past. That said, I'll be picking this one up even though I don't like EU much. Obi in armor rocks. I'm just glad I didn't make a custom of him yet.

somehow I seriously doubt SSC can bury the other 2. you think SSC would make a 1/6 queen? or the power loader? I dont really think they would.

I might be flayed alive for saying this but I'm not so happy with the announcement. From reading posts I’m obviously in the minority. I like everyone was anxious for the first armoured figure and finally to get something only to be hit with one I’m not interested in is always going to be a let down.

Don't get me wrong I think he looks great and it's nice to see SS finally produce an armoured character. As alway SS had hit us from left field. I didn’t expect him.

As a rule of thumb I try to stick with just movie and stay way from EU etc....

I dunno what to do now! Part of me wants to order him since he looks so good and since he is the first official armoured figure, but the other half just think he wont fit in with my collection. I just better make up my mind before he goes to order.

Either way it’s good to see most are pleased and he will go quick.

 

[screamingmetal]

That is what has me worried. He SHOULD come with one though since he wore it. It would be like Stomtrooper Lukes and Hans not having Stormtrooper helmets. I just hope they hadn't put the final touches on the helmet yet and didn't shoot it.

I'd like him to come with one, but it's not absolutely necessary. my preference is displaying him without the helmet. If they did include one, I'd hope they gave it the same neck plug deal that Leia Boushh had.

Your sentences and spelling. Some of it didn't make sense. So I happily took the time to fix some errors so it made sense.

I believe Homer when he says that this will be about $100. Also we know for a fact it is on a new armor base body, with the body suit being some sort of fabric and the armor is hard plastic. The body is different from the Indy body we will be seeing this week. Did I miss anything?

 

[crasis]

I just logged on now to discover this amazing news!!!

INCREDIBLE likeness? Check.
NEW body? Check.
ARMOR? Check.
JEDI MULLET? Hells yeah.

This is the figure I've been waiting for!!!!

Bravo, Sideshow. Bravo!

BEST Toyfair announcement of all companies by far. :chew
