Yeah my waitlist converted too, but I'm glad to see this and Yoda are actually up for preorder again. I hope they do this more often for popular figures that sell out relatively quick.
Good point lol, yeah I hope they can find a balance to make everybody happy.Agreed. So long as it doesn?t cause them to delay other releases by much.
Very nice.
I almost paid $350 on ebay. Bullet dodged
Fett is super tough to get the proportions right on though.

Now that they charge tax, that's nearly how much the deluxe is on SS after shipping.
It looks good, but doesn?t look that much like ESB Fett.
The helmet shape is all kinds of wrong and is only passable when viewed from the front. SS made a better attempt with their Mythos version...
*rewatches ESB*
Hmmm, this is up for PO again. In order to avoid heartburn later, we'd better preorder this while we can, right self?
Right, boss! *enter the latest NRD email notification, yay*
DAMN IT
I still don't like the gloves on this figure, too puffy and plastic-y looking.... I wonder if some gloves from Mythos would work. [I am not a stickler for 100% screen accuracy.] However past experience has shown me that in-hand things can seem much different. He definitely will not be wearing those red gloves.
To me the Mythos ones have the "lady fingers" issue that occasionally crops up on SSC figs' hands (Biker Scout was another one) where the fingers are a bit too delicate/skinny, especially for gloved hands. The color is also not quite right for ESB or ROTJ Fett, though that's easy enough to fix.
Fett's hands for some reason have proved tough to match for 1/6 companies. Both HT versions (same mold) have been terrible - soft sculpt, shiny, meh paint - whereas original Sideshow ones weren't too bad, if slightly too fat sculpt-wise. The paint on the V.1 SSC gloves wasn't great, but they improved apps a lot on V.2.
The HT hands would likely be improved with a brushing of matte clear and a subtle weathering wash to punch up any sculpt detail.
The best I've found are the Marmit gloves or the hands from the Hasbro faux-"vintage" Fett that came out maybe 15 years ago (that's pretty cheap loose on eBay.)
