New 1:6th Star Wars figure from Original Trology

[Mooncat]

Robodad offered up the following clue gathered from SS website :

"A mysterious officer in black"

Which screams Death Star Gunner / Officer to me

 

[pixletwin]

Where did that come from?

 

[Mooncat]

Robodad posted it in IRC I presumed he had gotten it from a Criswell Prediction

 

[shaun-o]

He is doing a Darth Vader end of Revenge impersonation. It sounds like Vader to me.

New Criswell video. The clues are:

1) Something is "clouding" his vision...

THE DARK SIDE

2)Vision is blocked by the span in space and time..

A long time ago. In a galaxy far, far away...

3) A Mysterious Officer in BLACK

VADER!!! VADER!!! VADER!!!

What do you guys think?

 

[Darthrazz]

I thought I smelled Lord Vader's foul stench!....



YES IT' S GOTTA BE VADER!!!!!!!!

 

[MaulFan]

I'd be surprised if it's Vader, I would think with all the hype for him, if it were, there'd be fireworks going off, trumpets sounding, the works, and Vader is definitely PPO or Inclusive material, not throw it up all of a sudden like the other Spooktacular items. If it is, sweet, but I'm not even getting psyched this has anything to do with Star Wars.

I would love and Officer too, actually... Maybe even more than ANH Vader.

 

[Memnoch]

Ah, but in ANH.. Vader was basically an officer as he took orders from Grand Moff Tarkin. Either way it is something Imperial from Star Wars.

 

[pixletwin]

Anyway you look at it, Vader commanded the Empire's armed forces. That makes him an officer in my eyes.

Per Tarkin, I believe he and Vader (at that point) were co-equals in power.

 

[Memnoch]

So here is what Im wondering.. will they just put it up? Or would they announce it and give us a PPO for it?

If its Vader I think they'll announce it in the news letter. It may not even be PPO time yet. Might just be an announcement.

I think the new Dead figure will go on sale after the NL is posted however.

Far as I can tell, everything posted has been available to order once that was done. If it's Vader, and it's an Inclusive figure, then this will be fine, if it's limited and they do this with a kickass exclusive, all hell will break loose.

Yah... but it'd be fun.

 

[Memnoch]

Yea see, Im nervous they might throw him up (doubt it but ya never know). It said check back for the grand reveal tomorrow soo maybe they announce him tomorrow, then more info in the news letter with a PPO to follow next week. Please?

 

[MaulFan]

Well, I think SSC would recognize the demand for Vader and go the Inclusive route, he's definitely in the top 5 characters to do that for.

I think if it is Vader, you have no worries. He will be an open edition size, I have no doubt about that since that seems to be the way Sideshow has been doing things alot lately.

 

[King Darkness]

I will poop myself if its Vader.

 

[Batty]

You're all wrong.

1) Something is "clouding" his vision...

Cloud City

2) Vision is blocked by the span in space and time..

A long time ago. In a galaxy far, far away...

3) A Mysterious Officer in BLACK
