Re: Re

This is actually cheaper than I expected. I was thinking $550. It better articulate and light up.

I only hope the ES is low. I will buy it, and some of the other principal cult characters, but I won't be a completist.

GG is where my collecting priorities lie.

Re: re

Grievous will fit in perfectly on a shelf with Boba Fett and Darth Maul.

Also known as Darth Vader. Once you see the film you will know what I'm talking about.

Re: re

Remember kids - it's more expensive to create an all poly figure than a mixed media one. That's why a no-cloth Greivous costs more I'd imagine. I'd like to see a cape too, but the pose doesn't really seem like it's suited for a cape. I'd think in the film if he's spinning 4 lightsabers around that a cape might get in the way.

This does look extremely detailed and it's a credit to the design team that they are able to realize a figure like this in 3-D that wasn't really designed to live in the real world, but only as a CGI creation. Look at the Hasblow figure - fragile, always falling apart, they caught the basic look of the character but he can't even hold his friggin' lightsabers.

If Greivous is as kick-booty a character as Maul - I think this will be a very popular piece.

Given the small arms too, I'm doubting the sabers will light up.

Re: re

this line is gonna be really expensive, unlike the LOTR one.

let me ask this, did side show confirm what they will make in the future? i saw some guys mentioned maul-boba-jango-anakin?

is this from sideshow?

Re: re

Well I got to say this is a awesome 1/4!!!
Very well done Sideshow!

But I do think he is about $100 overpriced unless he has a small edition size then I could see that price.
If there is a exclusive version of him, I think he should have more than just his cape. Maybe a jedi head in one of his hands or something cool.

If the exclusive version only comes with a cape then Im going to go to our trusty dealers were we will be saving some money with!

Grievous doesn't kill any Jedi in the film.

Re: re

Im going to have to read the book.

Re: re

I wonder if SS will utilize the new Flexpay system on Grievous?

 

[Viking28]

Re: re

Yea that would be kind of nice.

 

[pitchin4eva]

Re: re

I just dunno anymore about this piece......$450 is alot of money & if we keep on paying this kinda money for these items, the price is only gonna go higher & higher further along the line.
Unless SS come up with a low edition size SS exclusive then I'll be heading off to the dealers for a good discount.

Not really a good way to start the line off............with rapidly increasing prices.
Look at the LOTR line eg. the balrog statue ($300) if that was released now it would be round about $400 with an ES of 3000.

Really becoming disillusioned by the collecting market in recent years.

 

[elwood49]

Re: re

There's no way I'm getting Grievous from SS unless the ES on the exclusive is EXTREMELY low. As in 250 or less like Han. Otherwise, I'll get him from a board dealer for somewhere between $350-$375.

 

[Viking28]

Re: re

I agree.

 

[pitchin4eva]

Re: re

Here's a photo to prove that Grievous would look even more awesome with a cape!!!

Re: re

Give Grievous a cape SS!
