Come on Sideshow, give us some BAD GUYS!!!!

[IrishJedi]

What I want to know is whether SSC intends to stick with their "10-12 figures per year" decree next year. If so, then the Endor Rebels count for at least 25% of next year's offerings. This just in: that's not cool.

I'll say this, though... if SSC has decided to ramp up production and produce more like 15-18 figures next year, I can live with these (though I still definitely will not be buying them).

 

[Brent72]

Well, why is this any different than Kit or Plo who had hardly anytime or any other Jedi not named Mace, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Luke.

It's not, but it still doesn't explain Sideshow's lack of villain figures. In 18 months, all we've seen so far is Sith Anakin with Maul and Jabba & Friends on the horizon. That's just crazy in my opinion as the villians make up most of the coolest characters in the SW universe. What are they waiting for?

I'm down for more bad guys but depending on how many Sith they want to do that could be a short run.

Go EU computer games for more Bad Guys!!! as an added attraction they do tend to be good visually.

Not unless they go for Eu characters. Tons of sith in the non-movie star wars universe. asajj ventress would make an amazing 12"

 

[The Josh]

That's fine with me go EU. I'm down for that.

 

[Darklord Dave]

If so, then the Endor Rebels count for at least 25% of next year's offerings.

I don't see that happening, there is probably a lot of re-use with these guys and I'd imagine they only count altogether as 1 out of 15-18.

18 months????

Luke was preordered in November, 10 months ago. Are there 8 other months of figures I missed out on ?

I'm not trying to be negative, but I just really feel that this announcement SUCKS! I mean, devoting 3 valuable figure slots to Endor Rebel Troopers that have about 42 seconds of screen time combined in ROTJ just makes zero sense to me. I know some people are happy about this release, but I'm not an "army builder" so these figures are absolutely useless to me. Would it have killed them to give us a villain after so many heroes and Jedi in a row?

Well thankfully SS is creating pieces just for you. Damn you people are selfish.

"I don't know why SS would make something I don't like. And if I don't like it, it must be a stupid decision because I'm the majority of SW fans!" Get over yourself already!

Screen time doesn't make or break a character or characters. Some of the most compelling and awesome characters in movie history had very little screen time. Vader had very little screen time in ANH. Maul had very little screen time in TPM. And must I bring up Medieval Kurgan again. All awesome villians with little screen time.

so these figures are absolutely useless to me

And there are many people who excited about these figures, I'm not one, but you should be happy for those who are. Sideshow doesn't just make figures for you.

Hmmm, I don't seem to remember saying "I want them to make so-and-so figure just for me", but thanks for putting words in my mouth. All I said was that I think some of their choices early on in this line are very lame and that they need more villains to balance things out. Maybe you should read before you post next time.

 

[Fritz]

Stupid decision with the Endor Troops Sideshow. Wasting resources when you could have been developing Yak Face!!!!!

 

[Coheteboy]

I'm ok with Endor troops as unexpected as they are. But yes, we seriously need some more bad guys. I bet the next one will be Imperial Officers. One with sideburns, one without.

 

[stickman]

I would love for SS to issue an old school kenner style Death Squad (Star) Trooper.

That whole post is about YOU and how YOU feel and what YOU want! What YOU think should be made. Sorry if I didn't actually quote YOUR words, but it was a generalization.

I'm not sure how good you are at math so I'll make this easy for you, there are a whole lot more good guys and heros in the SW movies than bad guys, especially when you have add the PT Jedi in there. The majority of SW baddies are, 4 Sith, 2 bounty hunters (3 if you want to count Greedo, but he only has 41 seconds of screen time so he doesn't count in your book), Jabba, 3 Stormies, Clones, and 2Battle Droids. Now we're most likely only going to get two versions of battle droids, and who knows how many versions of Clone Troopers (but you can bet they won't be for a while since Medicom's are coming). That's about 12 plus however many Clones we get (probably around 4) and most likely Tarkin. I'm sure there will be some surprises in there that push it up towards 20. They could easily do at least 40 versions of Jedi alone. Then you have all the other Heros and Rebel military (which I expect 4 versions of : Endor, Hoth, X-Wing, and Tantive IV). To put it simply, there are a lot more good guys than bad guys!!! If they give us too many bad guys too soon, they'd have to start goint into the EU (and since they have no screen time they'd be useless to you, thus a waste)

Like I said, get over yourself.

And exactly WHO THE HELL ARE YOU to tell anyone to get over themselves with that holier-than-thou attitude you seem to possess? I'm good and damn well free to say what I'd like to see from Sideshow just as much as anyone else who posts on these boards and I'll continue to do so whenever I please! I realize a lot of people around here won't say a disparaging word no matter what SS does, but last time I checked this was a DISCUSSION FORUM and not the Sideshow Mutual Admiration Society! So, take your pompous, judgemental attitude and go post in the threads where people might actually care what you're saying !!!

HAHAHAHA....sorry to take the thread away from the fight for a brief second. Besides the sith, I would really dig some Dark Red Imperial Guards. I always thought those guys were cool. I believe gentle giant made a maquette of them and that looked awesome. I wouldn't mind 12" them guarding a palpatine on this throne chair thingamabob.

 

[Brent72]

Exactly. Imperial Guards are just another example of the many villain possibilities they could do.
