12" Inch Figure Dewback A New Hope

[spazzy]

excellent news Alex!

I am now more comfortable getting it!

that is one fat ass lizard.................

The price is much easier to swallow knowing its polystone. I would have been shocked if it turned out to be vinyl given the detail of the sculpting.

Hi All,

Have some updates for everyone! The estimated shipping weight for this piece has been changed. It is actually estimated to be 27 lbs and not 7 lbs. The materials being used to create this piece are: Poly-resin/stone, and cut/sew elements (for the saddle bags, saddle, etc).

Thanks for dropping in and giving the scoop on the specs of the material used and weight correction.

I'll definitely be getting one, but the fact that this is coming 4th Q is keeping me from doing it now. I'm sure it'll still be available after then.

Couldn't resist ordered both the Dewback and Sandtrooper. Happy times!!

God damn, this thing is stunning! I want it so bad, but the shipping of these big things to Canada is outrageous. I'm so torn!

If it was a low ES I'd pull the trigger.

I caved too, it is a little overpriced for my liking and I have no idea where I can put this monster on display; but my goodness is this thing cool!

Also, I can not wait for Sideshow to do this all again with a Hoth Han + Tauntaun.

Did anyone get the Sandtrooper?

 

[icruise]

I'm kind of torn by this. As a "statue" I think it will look pretty damn good. But as a 1/6 scale figure accessory I think it's a little questionable.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No more so than Jabba's slab or Emperor's throne... this is a "seat" for the Sandtrooper. Really friggin' cool seat!

Yeah but neither of those have any implied expectations of articulation...a chair is a chair...a platform is a platform.

Although this is cool, it had so much potential to be 1000% better. And while this looks miles ahead of the Hasbro DB, it ends up only being marginally better due to the lack of articulation.

I would venture to guess that is primarily what separates the 1/6th scale collectors from the statue collectors...the desire to have articulation and poseability options

 

[Buttmunch]

Only HT could have topped this today.

 

[Lee in MI]

That's true...this thing looks amazing to say the least.

I would have surely paid $400-$500 for a fully articulated version. This could have been the Tumbler of SWs! Maybe they thought folks would not have spent that much for it.

 

[KillKen]

Did anyone get the Sandtrooper?

Yeah I ordered both together and I have a Sandtrooper Corporal coming at the moment which I will have standing in front of the dewback.

 

[Buttmunch]

I just find it kind of odd that all of the real big creatures/environments are from Tatoonie. Jabba, Jabba wall, Han wall, cantina1, cantina2, Dewback, etc. Sideshow really seems to favor the desert planet don't they. Makes me think a Rancor might not be out of the realm of possibility. Hopefully he would be vinyl like Jabba though with some articulation.

And the first vehicle will probably be a sandspeeder too

 

[icruise]

Well, Tatooine did play a huge part in the original trilogy, and when I think about what other creatures from the OT might be appropriate for a 1/6 scale line, the only thing that really comes to mind is a tauntaun (and wampa).

I still think a 1/6 scale rancor would be unworkably huge, but I would like to see it too.

 

[BuddyGus]

I pre-ordered. I just really hope I dont have to drop it later.
