NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[Badism]

Lando wasn't so far off to be throwing a tantrum.

A tantrum

I didn't buy Lando, he looked strange. Darth Maul and Old Ben are what I judge all other star wars figures against. If they don't look worthy of being next to those two, then I don't buy them.

So, what I mean is I'm hoping for something "I" would buy.

Then you missed a good figure.

Then you missed a good figure.

He was in my top 5 most wanted SS SW figures since the line started. I have read many reviews and examined many photos and I'm just not happy with how he turned out. His big head and poor tailoring just didn't cut it for me at that price.

SS can do better and there is no excuse for anything less then Old Ben quality on all their figures.

Owning him, I'd say he's on par with Old Ben (who also had his flaws). One of the best Sideshow releases in a while. The bobblehead wasn't pronounced in person and the tailoring was excellent. I know it's almost cliche to say, but he's one you really have to judge in hand.

TPM Obi Wan and AOTC Anakin would be a nice change from all the troopers.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

...and pretty easy to put together!

 

[thenammagazine]

Just don't forget whose 30th anniversary it is...

 

[DCfan]

So where's the Hoth love?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Nothing I want more than Hoth 1/6 stuff. But you would think Sideshow would have already started dropping hints. I don't think we've really heard anything in the Q&As about anything Hoth except for PFs and some vague allusions to the 30th Anniversary, have we?

I expect fandom will be treated to photos of the new, 30th anniversary General Riekkan figure at SDCC.

More seriously, I want a Sideshow Wampa badly.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Hoping against all hope for TARKIN before we push into ESB.

But almost anything ESB will be welcome!

I've heard/read no such hints.

Here are a few:

Pretty vague if you ask me, except for the Snowtrooper mention, especially since they haven't been so forthcoming with solid hints like they did for Dooku, the droids and Tarkin.

Yeah, the biggest ESB announcement being the 1:1 ESB Boba bust... YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN.

No wonder I didn't notice it. I must've slept through those Q&As.

What do you need to see as a minimum to consider the line complete? I say:

C3PO
R2D2
Tusken Raider
Jawa
Tarkin
Chewbacca
Luke X-Wing
Death Star Trooper
Luke Hoth
Han Hoth
Leia Hoth
YODA!!!!!
Boba Fett

That's it basically, isn't it? Does anyone really want a Lobot or Endor Han? 13 figures and we're done.

Forgot about the prequels - whoops. Whatever they've got in those movies too that's worth having.

LIST IS TOO SHORT!




And lack of "PT's gaping holes" fail aside, you forgot Skiff Guard Lando and Slave Leia...

 

[Star Puffs]

...nobody background jobbers and random aliens who may or may not have had 5 lines in the whole series.

Doesn't that describe Boba Fett?

I am sick of Stormtrooper variants and naturally dislike any PT/EU stuff, but the Emperor, Greedo and the up coming Hammerhead have been a good lot for the last six months, making up for the OT 1:6 wasteland that 2009 was.

Slave Leia - shoot, how could I have forgotten that one? And of course the Scout Trooper and Imperial Guard. And Snow Trooper...

But I don't know about Lando Skiff Guard. Would that get you excited? It's kind of cool but not something thrilling. Wouldn't it be great if they did every one of those figures, one after the other, not necessarily in that order? If every single choice was a big hitter until they'd done them all? It might mean the line ended before folks who really, really like General Lando or AT/ST Driver or whatever got to buy them, but it would be such an exciting line.

A fact that's most often forgotten when statements like that are made, but apologists somehow always find a way to work in some lame excuse or six.
