anyone knows how much this will cost?

judging from the accessories, it may be $5 more than the usual.
 
I guess I should clarify my position in Sideshow. As part of the Cut and Sew program, I'm an independent contractor. I don't spend 5 days a week in the office. Usually I'm out there once or twice a week. As a fan and collector, I take a keen interest in the Star Wars lines and Lord of the Rings lines, and so sometimes I ask questions about figures in development. Sometimes I get answers, sometimes I don't. I was lucky enough to get an answer about the Luke jacket, and asked specifically if I could share the information with the board members.

Woulda shoulda coulda...I don't know why things are done a certain way, why the jacket wasn't switched. I thought I was alleviating some of the grief and criticism by letting people know what was going on :dunno.

Now...believe me or don't :D, but here's what I found out today:

- collar looks like it is now a standup collar (it wasn't on a body so I couldn't tell 100%), and it definitely had the correct rows of stitching on it.
- pockets are lower, and look smaller than the first jacket.

thats all. by the way, the mudslinging in here cracks me up! :lol

PS...I asked if I could take a picture and was DENIED! I swear I'm looking out for you guys.

PPS...did I use enough smilies?

No, you definitely have not used enough smilies! Some board members are VERY sensitive about that, so they might even ORDER you to use them prodigal in the future.

But seriously. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it very much. This first hand news is refreshing after so much assumptions.
 
why are you guys arguing, the exclusive sucks anyway. It makes no sense to display him with it.
 
Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. And suffering leads to... No, wait. Hate leads to anger... No. What was Hate again?

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to tele-tubbies.

It sucks? Nah its one of those that makes the figure especially if you plan on recreating the moment where he walking into the falcons front part with his arm in it.
 
ANYHOO....

Let's not let Mr. Dollyclothes think that this thread is typical of the Freak Forum.

I apologize for all the incivility...

That's a nice display! Dammit, this is going to make me wan to attempt a Ceremonial Leia kitbash....
 
Hey, very cool display there ProgMatinee. Wow that would have been a nice outfit for Leia as an exclusive instead of the wrist binders.

I wonder if SideShow will ever start to issue outfit packs or just head sculpts to expand their lines instead of issuing a whole new figure and new box designs.

I cant wait for some more OT figs by SideShow. Bring them on!
 
If scale isn't an issue for you, the Medicom RAH Darth Vader (mine is ROTS) is absolutely killer and will make a worth dueling partner. But I'll admit it...he is a midget...even next to a fellow RAH Stormtrooper (barely 1/2 inch taller if that).

Like Galactiboy said, it's $55, which is a fair price IMO. $60 is just pushing it for certain figures that are very plain in outfit and accessories. Bespin Luke is a poster boy for the $55 price tag.

And if you don't care about the exclusive, that puts him either at or just below the $50 mark at other retailers.
