NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

Walrusman
Squidhead

No brainers. As essential as the last three bounty hunters, personally.

Snaggletooth as well.

Not 'Zutton' from the holiday special (Kenner card photo), but either a straight up Takeel (actual cantina present alien next to Han when the Sandies roll by) or a straight up nod to the vintage Kenner Snaggletooth; maroon jumpsuit, black wrist & ankles sleeve cuffs, furry grey head, feet & hands, red eyes, black hair, NO bald spot - the works.

I get hung up on Snaggletooth because I liked the old Kenner figure, but the character from the movie is really, really ugly.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

The one from the SWHS is worse - that little goblin is hideous. At least the one near Han was on the milder side of ugly - hump on his back aside.

That's the problem though, the Kenner figure was based on both those guys.

This must be our longest preview-free period. Where's my AT-AT driver?

Now we have the tie on the way an atat driver should be a no brainer, be nice sideshow to swing us a cheap 2pack of royal guards simple design no need for the EU under armour though that could be a deluxe offering

I can never refuse at AT-AT driver. Even if I still can't think of where I'll be displaying the Marmit version I have - if only my 1/6 Hoth shelf were 3x the size.

I have dreams of a cutaway display of an atat cockpit for the drivers same for the tie pilot , got ideas for a cutaway section to fit a detolf,, mental blueprint only though

That's a great idea!

I'd like to do that with a few things, but cash..

Sideshow has been really slow with anything coming out I would have thought that we would have seen at least some previews by now

That's what makes it seem like all their next products are EP 7 related. Hopefully that's not the case though and they do have some OT in there.

I'm really curious to see how Sideshow and HT split up the figures from the new movie, since it seems unlikely HT will be able to do all of them.

Perhaps HT could tackle all the new characters and villains and Sideshow could do Han, Luke, Leia, Lando, and whoever else from the OT happens to show up. Or vice versa.

I wonder if there will be an exclusive for SW celebration 2015.

 

[Tee-Kay]

I wish though i think we'd have heard about it by now.

 

[Pixelpiper]

I think Sideshow has had too much in the pipe to have been teasing anything new the first few months of the year. Just too many delayed products, it would be senseless to whet appetites with even more figures. I'm sure we'll see something by SDCC.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Have we seen anything new since last SDCC? I can't remember.

Seems like we're overdue for something to be teased but with all the HT SW product and the backlog mentioned above I do think we've hit a breather period.

 

[Boba Ben]

I asked them and they said they're not going to have one this time, which is a bummer since this the first and probably last time I'm ever going to Celebration.

Only the HT reveals, as I recall. Which isn't necessarily unusual. I forgot to add this in my previous comment, but hopefully Sideshow is taking a different approach with upcoming releases and only showing them when closer to retail availability. Speaking only for myself, I personally don't enjoy seeing a figure shown off that won't be available for another 18 to 24 (or more) months. That's just a waste of everyone's time. 6 months max please. Show a production sample, don't show a hand-made one-off that may not look anything like what will be packed in boxes.

 

[devilof76]

It would be nice if Sideshow ignored Ep.7 completely in 1:6.

I really want my Ta-Tum Jenks and Darth Savage figures though.

Eh, Sideshow would probably just re-use their KOTCS Ford head for leg-cast Solo anyway.
