I canceled this because I needed to trim down my PO's - it was getting crazy. I kept Jango because I like the character and I don't forsee a lot of 1:6 scale versions of him in the near (or heck, even far) future. I have several versions of Luke in my collection, so while canceling wasn't fun, it didn't sting like it would have if it had been a character that doesn't get much sixth-scale attention.
Yes, there was a bad reaction to Jango around here...a lot of folks had issues. But no regrets on my part...he looks great on display and he's a figure I really like.
Now this one....well, Sideshow is asking folks to take a lot on faith with this price jump. My fingers are crossed for them...I hope he turns out great in production. I hope the tailoring on that flight suit is as impressive as that prototype...and I hope that portrait has the best paint apps we've seen to date on a Sideshow figure. I've been happy with the production pieces I've picked up this last year from Sideshow...even the ones that got some grief in here (like the two Hoth figures)....but I'm smart enough to realize that this one has a lot riding on it with a big chunk of the audience in here.
I hope some good pictures show soon...I hope they show a figure that makes me regret canceling, not one that makes me relieved that I did...
