Ki Adi Mundi 12-Inch Figure

[thenammagazine]

Exactly. Companies make one-off bodies for 1/6 figures all the time. Both Hasbro and Medicom have done it for Yoda (though Medi's is technically a VCD). Who can't Sideshow do it? And why is it perceived that their 1/6 figures have to be cookie-cutter manufactured in order to keep costs at a reasonable level? As far as I know, this is no longer 4-5 guys making figures and model kits in a garage.

Would it really be cheaper to R&D a brand new body from scratch for use on a figure most people will only buy one of or max, two? All that time sculpting, assembling, the necessary time needed for creating the molds for every aspect of the figure, molding, prototype approval, etc. Or would it be cheaper to modify parts for existing pieces? Common sense tells me the latter. It's faster and more efficient since new molds won't be necessary for the complete figure, just small portions of the figure. Which means the prototype gets assembled faster, approved faster, and produced faster and at less cost to the company.

Sideshow did say the hobbit bodies were intended to be modular, able to have longer and shorter arms. who's to say there aren't shorter torsos as well?

Yesterday made 14 days from the notice. This should be turning up any minute now.

I am seriously thinking about changing my display. I am working away from home (working in Phoenix, live in Cali), and I have my Obi-Clone and Medicom EII clones with me. When Ki-Adi Mundi ships, I will likely change to the alien Jedi.

I have YET to get my notice.

I don't think anyone has yet.

Don't worry, they'll start showing up at comic shops and retailers this week and Sideshow will ship ours sometime after the New Year.

Why so much hate Irish?

 

[The Mike]

its funny because its true.

Since Ki-Adi is the exclusive and has no exclusive if he shows up before my shipping notice from SSC, I'm canceling and buying there.

Not hate. Just dark humor.

 

[agen_kolar]

I meant that I haven't even gotten a processing notice...and don't we usually get one of those before the shipping notice?

Who received a Processing Notice?

 

[agen_kolar]

Several Rebelscum members received processing notices as recently as November 20th, but on November 17th, Rebelscum member MAF stated he got a 12-15 day arrival notice.

I also received a 12-15 day notice on the 17th, ten days after I got the 20-25 day notice on the Indy PF. So this might be a busy week.
