A 1/6 Max Rebo Band would be amazing.

Well, Sideshow heard you and has teased a Max Rebo band as being in development!

Q:In previous questions people have asked about several products and you have said some are in the works (but not specifically which ones), so I thought I would narrow the question to one specific product: What are the chances of a 1/6th scale Max Rebo Band set? And if you do one PLEASE use Sy Snoodles’ original design if possible!! Thank you! You always produce the best products! Lando was so perfect he took my breath away when he arrived - awesome job on him!!

A:The design is done, and the project is moving into the sculpture phase very, very soon. Deciding to move ahead on the project hinged on permission to do the original Sy, not the SE version, and we’re happy to say that all parties are agreed. So, at this point, we can safely say that the chances are very, very good.

Q:I have every 12-inch Star Wars item you have produced, and I was wondering if there are any plans for the Jabba the Hutt band members to go along with your awesome Jabba the Hutt figure and throne. I think they are a must have!!!

A:We agree! Max Rebo and the gang are very, very likely to join your Jabba display!



Oh, wait - that happened EIGHT years ago. Poor form, Sideshow - poor form.

Sideshow's been doing that since the beginning. I have a blurb where they announced they would make Gert Frobe's Goldfinger, Aldofo Celi's Largo and Donald Pleasance's Blofeld in their Bond line from 2004. It's why I started collecting their line.

Here's the announcement:

New Sideshow Bond Figures For 2004 And Beyond

February 10, 2004 - DSBG

According to a source close to Sideshow Toys, new James Bond figures will soon grace the shelves of collectors. Memorable characters from Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, From Russia With Love, Moonraker, The Living Daylights and GoldenEye will soon be announced in the next few days.

Sideshow plans to bring out Donald Pleasance as Blofeld, Gert Frobe as Goldfinger, Adolfo Celi as Emilio Largo, Daniela Bianchi as Tatiana Romanov, and Robert Shaw as Red Grant. Plus Sir Miles Messervy as played by Bernard Lee.

I remember that Rebo band announcement. Sad it never came to be and probably never will.

Decided to bite the bullet on a pre-order for one of these. Still think it’s weird that they weren’t offered in a two pack but whatever. I’ll order a second one later down the line most likely.

I ordered 2 of them, I used my reward points and that helped me get my flex payments down to about $60 for both. That makes it worth it for me.

It would be cool if they dropped this at SDCC this year

You'd prefer to have the blue elephant and mushroom guy as opposed to a new Bib Fortuna and Gamorrean Guard?



I wonder if somewhere on the planet someone who bought all 6 Figrin D'an Cantina Bands members is truly fulfilled and happy?

 

[greedo737]

I am. I love the band! I’d be all over Max, Droopy and an ‘83 Sy Snootles.

 

[Hoody999]

I don't know if that was a setup by Wor Gar or not, but good post !

OK

Hahah

Look, you got to share your Cantina band collection. How many years has it been since you were able to do that without necro-posting?

Ya I'm content with the SSC versions.

What does that mean?

Hey, you mentioned the Cantina band. Not me. I merely responded to your question.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I just mean that its likely been a long time since you had an excuse to post your Modal Nodes. Nothing insidious happening here.

 

[greedo737]

I see. Okay. No problemo. Don’t need an excuse to post though. I enjoy looking at them. That’s why they’re displayed.

Just switched my order away from BBTS if anyone needs one from there.
