Admiral Piett 12" figure

[coolkansaswind]

WOW ............. only 1500 ...... total .....

 

[Puay]

1500? Will that be sufficient to go around? I bet there are more than 1500 completeists world-wide.

What I don't like is when the items are overpriced, so everyone passes on them, thus SSC needs to cut the production numbers so they don't have a ton sitting around, but I guarantee you when discussing rising prices in the future people will be using the small production number of this item to justify the high price....!!!!!lol.

If SSC lowered the price to $60 like Praji it would have sold 1500 more units just like Praji.

SSC just traded $90,000 income for $15,000 gross profit. Unless SSC thought it would cost them $75,001 to make and market 1500 more units, they made a decision that wasn't based on the profit of this one item.

I think I may have found the screen cap they may have used for the expression. Yes, EF, I know they would use more than one photo...

If so, they just need to reposition the irises under the eyelids more. I still think the figure is overpriced for the quality.

 

[EVILFACE]

I doubt he was sculpted from one photo.

Has anyone received any sort of notice for this figure? Sideshow site states that it's coming in July.

 

[JustinLuck]

Yeah, wasn't he originally supposed to come out in June?

They should make Admiral Ozzle, they can reuse the head in the Indiana Jones line for Hitler.

I wonder if he'll be delayed to put him on the new Pro body.

As for Ozzel, he doesn't play Hitler in Indy, he plays the guy that's after the grail.

Actually, if I am not mistaken. General Veers plays Donovan in TLC.

And if you have seen any of my other posts. I would kill for a General Veers figure.

 

[MaulFan]

Donovan, yes, that's it, I couldn't remember his name so had to describe him

 

[Shai]

Piett Who...

 

[Deckard]

Donovan, yes, that's it, I couldn't remember his name so had to describe him

Ozzel = Hitler

Veers = Donovan

and the guy who played Toht, is also in the Last Crusade in the Berlin scene as either Goering or Himmler or another top general. Can't remember which.


edit : it was Himmler : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Last_Crusade

"Michael Sheard as Adolf Hitler: The Nazi leader, who literally bumps into a disguised Indiana during a book-burning rally. Not realizing that he has encountered Indiana or that he is holding the Grail Diary, he opens the diary to a random page, autographs it, and gives it back to Indiana. Sheard, who could speak German, had auditioned for the role of Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but was cast as the U-boat captain. Weather and scheduling difficulties forced Sheard to leave before completing his scenes, so Spielberg cut him out and promised he would find him another role in the series. The close-up of Hitler signing his autograph with his right hand was added with another actor during pickups, although Hitler was left-handed.[14]

Ronald Lacey, who played Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark, cameos as Heinrich Himmler. Alexei Sayle played the sultan of Hatay. Wrestler and stuntman Pat Roach, who played five roles in the previous two films, made a short cameo as the Nazi who accompanies Vogel to the Zeppelin. Roach was set to film a fight with Ford, but it was cut.[15] In a deleted scene, Roach's agent boards the second biplane on the Zeppelin with a World War I flying ace (played by Frederick Jaeger), only for the pair to fall to their deaths after the flying ace makes an error.[1]"

Should be pretty soon - Sideshow's last newsletter listed him as coming in the next 30 days.

This is my 1st SSC cancelation, love the character and the figure looks ok, just with all the T4 Hot toys gear & Vader & sandtrooper just to much $$$$, will pick up later if possible

 

[Hothwampa]

Easy pass for me. Lame choice for a figure. Poor Ken Colley must be laughing if he's seen this. Bring on the Aliens' and specifically alien Jedi.

 

[MaulFan]

Ozzel = Hitler

Veers = Donovan

Man, Strike 2 , I was thinking of Veers when I said it was Donovan, I knew Veers was in Crusade so when someone mentioned an Empire cast member in Crusade, that's just what I thought of immediately.

Interesting to know Ozzel plays Hitler though.

Is he still shipping this month? If so, I would like him to ship with Luke & Han to save some doe.
