You know, What's really great to hear about this SW line from Sideshow is that pretty much everyone, both on this board and over at the Rebelscum boards has said the exact same thing upon recieving their figure. "Wow. The pictures dont do it justice"
Thats such a good thing to hear and it makes me feel very positive about this line. Theres been so much anticipation for this figure, and theres been an awful lot of speculation and whatnot, So much hype generated by us collectors, that I really did expect there might be a lot more negative comments made about it.
Im really pleased that hasnt been the case. Often when theres this much anticipation for say, a movie or an album by a band, invariably, the product cant possibly live up to peoples ridiculously elevated expectations of it and it either falls flat on its face or it becomes a bit of a non event and you suddenly wonder what you got so worked up about in the first place. Its so cool to see that this hasnt been the case with the first sideshow 6th scale SW figure.
Its a really positive signal for the future of this line. The fact that almost everyone says "Wow! the pictures really DONT do it justice" even though they've read that same line from other collectors on boards for weeks now. Its clear that this is the first reaction everyone has when they get the figure and its a very very strong first reaction.
The future of this line is looking SO good. I havent even got my Luke yet (I'm hoping it'll arrive tomorrow ) and im already looking forward to getting Annakin and Obi-Wan. If people think Luke is this good, whats the reaction to Obi-wan gonna be like? That sculpt is just fantastic. I cant wait.!
