Newsletter out--Holographic Darth Sidious with Mechno-chair (1/6th Scale)

[DarthNeil]

I somehow doubt it will be two main characters. I'm feeling more of a background-type set up, maybe two other Jedi. Eeth Koth and Saesee Tiin maybe?

If that were the case my 1/6 jedi council would be close to completion...

 

[Captain Faramir]

Along with Mace's posse, which is what I really want to have completed soon--with red Palpy to boot!

Now there's an exciting thought for an awesome pose...

This is a neat piece, imo, and it'd be really neat if there was a light in it.

It does light up.

 

[DarthNeil]

It does light up.

It does? That'll only add to its cool factor.

 

[Khev]

Pretty cool preview pic. I wonder if its also hinting at who will be in the PT 2-pack soon to be announced....

 

[Boba Fett]

I'll think about this one. It would look pretty cool posing in front of Maul lighted up.

There is a PT 2 pack soon to be announced? When was this said?

At C4 and I think now for sure the Nemodians are the perfect figures for this.

I think the holo chair and its accompanying picture definitely points to the Nemodians as the two-pack...especially since it is a two-pack of character specifically associated with the PT.

While I would certainly purchase a two pack of Nute Gunray and Rune Haako, without a doubt, I hope it's Anakin and Shmi. Or Anakin and Padme from AOTC. BUt, it really does not matter, I am up for anything. I bought the Endor bundle, so it really goes without saying.

I'm certain its going to be RUNE + NUTE... and I'm all over it! Been waiting for those two in 1/6th for years. Great costumes, amusing villains.

Gunray and Haako with that light-up mechno-chair would be an amazing little set-up on the shelf. One of the better PT display sets.

I'm also betting on the "much anticipated core character" to be Palpatine/Sidious...

Yeah, I'm gonna be all over that two pack. I like Rune and Nute. They're cool looking and they do make for amusing villians. Plus you can make an already set mock up with those two and the chair.

 

[FlyAndFight]

RUNE + NUTE will be the easiest pass for me since the Endor Triplets.

I found them just a hair short as obnoxious as Jar-Jar and actually rooted for Sith Anakin when he cut them down in E3...

The funny thing is that I'm sure they will look amazing in 1/6th scale, but just not in my collection.

I'm a big Neimoidian fan as well, and I'd buy 'em. I do prefer their ROTS costumes to their TPM costumes, though.

I feel like this two pack could be anyone, though. There are plenty of "pairs" in the PT.

Queen Amidala and Anakin Skywalker
Nute Gunray and Rune Haako
C-3PO and R2-D2
Count Dooku and Yoda
Mas Amedda and Sly Moore
Jango Fett and Zam Wesell
Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee
Darth Maul and Darth Sidious
General Grievous and Battle Droid

Just to name a few. I could see them doing a Jedi Two-Pack with Ki-Adi-Mundi and Yoda, or Ki-Adi-Mundi and Saesee Tiin, or maybe Adi Gallia or Agen Kolar. Those would all be fun.

My feelings exactly. They'll make visually cool figures, but the characters themselves were just so obnoxiously offensive. I'm surprised they didn't have coke bottle glasses and big buck teeth.

I wish this piece was more blue (like a hologram) and not green.

It may look green in photos but its actaully a light blue.

 

[Amir]

Good to hear, thanks.

 

[Customikey]

If they were going to make the Neimoidians, I definitely prefer their TPM togs. Knowing they were coming would be incentive to get the holo Sid, but otherwise, I think I have to pass on this one....
