Hot Toys Sandtrooper and Dewback 1/6

[Wor-Gar]

Great shots.

Not a lot of people got the Dewback though, huh?

I ordered the set, but since I'm in Europe and I ordered locally I probably have to wait 4-8 months before he's here.

I think most of us are still waiting on Sideshow to ship it.

I'm more praying and hoping it's delayed from Sideshow a bit longer, based on my recent spree of stuff...but yes

Davin came in yesterday. He looks great next to his buddy!

I'm also waiting on Sideshow.

It is pretty interesting to see though. I can remember so many people saying over the years they would love another chance at a Dewback because Sideshow version was too expensive on eBay etc.

Now we have a Hot Toys version, there's pretty low interest. Price is pretty high though I guess. But nothing like the eBay prices they're all over $1000 ??

Yeah, I think I sold my Sideshow Dewey for $1450 a few years ago. I use that math and the interest gained on that money to justify the HT purchase.

Just looked at eBay prices. Yikes! I guess I’ll keep my preorder for sure. I don’t want to get stuck paying $1k+ down the road. Also
My sand troopers showed up yesterday. Only opened one. Great figure as always. The backpack feels very fragile though.

Just can't beat that Sandtrooper helmet imo. Can't get any more classic that that !

In fact I remember it was a couple of 1/10 scale ART-FX Sandtroopers which got me into this crazy hobby. Found them and then found Hot Toys.

These are the guys. They still look great as a pair.

That's exactly the one I had as well! I've been slowly relaxing all of my 1/10 figures with their Hot Toys replacements.

Haha cool !! Still love your Sandie 1:1. I will still make one, one of these days !!! So cool !

What did you use underneath it for the body/upper torso to put the armour on again ?

Nothing fancy, it's just some bubble wrap taped around a couple pieces of wood. I've also used a torso mannequin off of Facebook marketplace for another bust that I'm putting together.

Yeah, this one certainly seems to be playing out super slowly, but maybe there'll be a Dewy deluge in the next two or so months as SSC and the other big players ship them.

I don't think this will end up like the Blurrg (a cool OT-era design that's at the same time kind of a goofy/ugly mash-up of a t-rex and piranha) but it also doesn't seem to be a hot seller. Its price plus economic context alone I guess should have signaled that, not to mention sheer size and display space commitment.

I think it’s waitlisted on SS and sold out elsewhere, so I think it’s fairly popular…or made in very small quantities

 

[Wor-Gar]

I would gather it was made in small quantities. HT probably planned for small batches -- the reason for the delays.

 

[Felinx]

Yeah my guess the Blurrg numbers were set during the wave of hype around Mando which had plunged by the time it actually shipped.

HT would surely know the Dewback has no new media to support it (the couple of Dewy cameos in Mando being a distant memory) so would have produced far less than half the Blurrg numbers.

I would love to know the numbers on stuff like SSC Jabba V.2 and HT Dewy - SSC used to have edition sizes so you could really judge, but those days were over many years ago. Just would be really interesting to know how many people globally would actually buy something like a 1/6 Dewback.
