Medicom RAH Jango Fett!!!!!

[nash]

Every Medi figure I have the wrist only flips back hand to forearm and palm to forearm, with HT and SSC, you can spin the hand on the pin that holds it on so you can bend say a fist in an up and down motion, I can take pictures later to show my point.

ah ok i see what you mean.

 

[MaulFan]

ah ok i see what you mean.

Ya, I mean poses like that aren't a big deal, but like, for instance, with Medi Jack Sparrow, if they had the other type of articulation in their wrists, I could do so many more poses with him, but the wrist as is, there aren't many poses with his gun and pistol that you can do, and that's why I love the bucks for Star Wars, it'd be tragic to have wrists that couldn't do killer lightsaber stances, but I do agree with the rest of the body having it's issues, but I think every 1/6 body has an area or 2 where it could be better.

Well, he can bring a stocked weapon to his shoulder, but it makes the armor look funky. With a better wrist design he'd be able to hold a rifle more naturally.



The Medi MSG4 figures have the "ball-joint" style hands, which why I don't understand why they add them to the newer SW stuff.

well that one isnt out yet, and the shadow trooper is just a rehash so it wouldnt make sense to redo the whole thing just for the wrists.

Hopefully they'll implement them for the fetts and from here on out.

And if you do the shoulder armor mod that scarlet showed, you'd have no problems with funky looking armor no matter how you pose him.

Up for preorder at BBTS, I ordered one just in case I miss a real pre-sale at either SS or SWS.com (who ever gets it.)

 

[GabRaz]

Same here.

 

[MaulFan]

Granted the scales would be a little off, but this begs for SSC to release an AOTC Obi-Wan, I know we have Mace, but I think Obi-Wan vs. Jango is the better 1 on 1 confrontation, plus that's the fight he's accessorize for.

 

[Khev]

Funny stuff, but Medicom still hasn't "won" anything quite yet.

Oh I agree, just having some fun at SS's expense. I'll probably be putting my money toward the assumed announcement of SS's PF R2/3PO two-pack instead of the Medi Fetts anyway. They are insanely cool though.

 

[IrishJedi]

the assumed announcement of SS's PF R2/3PO two-pack

Whaaa???

 

[Praetorian380]

anybody know what the BBTS pre order cancellation policy is????

I have never bought through them before nor have I pre ordered through them - I looked on their site throught FAQ's that they proved but it does not mention anything about their return policy.

Im thinking about pre ordering Jango from them but I want to know what I am getting into first. Need to be sure that I can back out if I change my mind.....

 

[Khev]

Whaaa???

Heh, I thought that was common knowledge. I believe it was tomandshell who posted an old SS interview from two or three years ago where they outlined their planned PF's at that stage. They were Luke, Leia, Han, Obi-Wan, Vader, Boba Fett, Dagobah Luke/Yoda two-pack, Darth Maul, Qui Gon Jinn, X-Wing Pilot Luke, and a C-3PO/R2D2 two-pack. With the exception of General Grievous they've been following the list exactly.

Many assume that the Droids and X-Wing Luke will be announced this year due to the 30th anniversary of ANH. I could see one at CIV and the other at SDCC. We'll see.

 

[tinister]

I was looking at the pics of the Medicom Jango and although I'm not a huge fan of the Jango character - I can't resist having the two figures side by side on my desk.

So a definite buy for me!

Cancelling a preorder with BBTS is amazingly easy, basically once you've got an account you control your preorder items.

You can just log into your account at any time, change the number of figures on the account from 1 to zero and the preorder is cancelled, you don't even have to email them to let them know you've cancelled something.

I've preordered Jango after seeing it on BBTS, I've ordered numerous RAH figures from them before and always had great service, no complaints here.

SIDESHOW HUDSON: "What are we still talking about this for man? Its over, Medicom won. Game over man game over! What are we going to do now man, what are we going to do??"

SIDESHOW BURKE: "I don't know, maybe we could build another Marvel PF, sing a couple of songs."

SIDESHOW RIPLEY: "I say we take off, and nuke the entire base body line from orbit. Its the only way to be sure."

SIDESHOW HUDSON: "F'n Kurgan."

SIDESHOW BURKE: "Whoa, ho, ho, ho. Hold on now, the Art S. Buck body has a substantial dollar value attached to it and I don't think anyone here has the right to arbitrarily exterminate it."

SIDESHOW RIPLEY: "Wrong."

SIDESHOW VASQUEZ: "Yeah, watch us."

SIDESHOW RIPLEY: "How long until the new armored figures are ready to ship?"

SIDESHOW HICKS: "17 years."

SIDESHOW HUDSON: "17 years!? Hey man I don't mean to rain on your parade but we won't last 17 hours with those Medicom pics running around. They're going to post those pics like they did before..."

SIDESHOW RIPLEY: "Hudson!"

SIDESHOW HUDSON: "...they're going to post those pics like they did before..."

SIDESHOW RIPLEY: "Hudson!"

SIDESHOW HUDSON: "They're going to post those pics, they're going to post those pics..."

SIDESHOW RIPLEY: "Hudson!"

SIDESHOW HUDSON: "...and they're going to kill us!"

SIDESHOW RIPLEY: "This little 12 inch Leia sold out faster than the RAH Fett with a Mego-like body and no armor."

SIDESHOW HUDSON: "Why don't you put her in charge!"

SIDESHOW 12 INCH LEIA: "What if I have bad dreams?"

SIDESHOW RIPLEY: "The PF Fett didn't have any."

SIDESHOW 12 INCH LEIA: "Ripley the PF Fett doesn't dream because he's just a piece of plastic."

THIS HAD ME DYING!!

Same here. Of course, I was playing it out in my head with the original actors' voices too!!

As impressive as Medicom is, it's unfortunate they do wrists like they do, the one axis joint is limiting for poses, one area where I feel Sideshow's Buck is best, but even Hot Toys offers 2 axis wrists that work well, it's a shame Medi doesn't, that would make em so much the more better.

Medicom already has new joints design ( 2 axis joints) to solve this problem. There are several most recent Medicom figures have that new joints such as Ghost Rider.

I'll be getting this guy for sure. He's just way too cool looking not to get. I've really come to like Medicom's stuff as well. They make a nice product and one worth getting because of what you get. I'm glad when I got my BHST that his hands where way different than the ROTS Vader that's been my one complaint with Medicom so far. The way I look at it is between SS and Medicom this SW fan is winning all the way around. :chew

Exactly! Winning rocks!

No cancellation fee at BBTS?

I'd like to order the Jango too, but since he's not available at SSC or SWS (for the moment), I think BBTS is a good alternative. Except for the price maybe... I bet SSC and SWS would offer Jango at a lower price point...
Anyway is there a chance either SSC or SWS will offer jango in the near future?

Btw, I love BBTS's The 'Pile of Loot' ordering/shipping system. That's something I like to see from SSC. Especially for the international customers, since sipping costs are a real pain in the ass.

Kewl, ordered one as well. A lot for a figure, hope you swingers are right saying he is worth it
