NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[The Josh]

I'm surprised we don't have a few more items for ESB. However, I've been more than happy with the Clones we've been getting. We'll get a run of ESB stuff and yes I know it might not tie in with the Anniversary but then we'll hear stop with the ESB stuff.

We'll probably still see a Veers figure (which I'm "meh" on anyway) before we see a Chewie.

I'd buy Veers.

Hell I'd buy an Ozzel if the EX was this headsculpt:

AOTC Anakin
TPM Kenobi
AOTC Padme

Yes, but given all the ANH stuff we got during Star Wars' 30th anny, it doesn't change the fact that it's still a huge disappointment all that's been shown is a lackluster 1:1 bust and a Yoda sneak peek (with the TPM Yoda prominently displayed over the OT Yoda) for the "Empire anniversary."

 

[drjedisith]

yeah im bummed. i needs my hoth luke, han and leia. a lobot, chewie! SOMETHING ESB!

 

[Apone]

I would settle for an Ugnaught at this point

My list is pretty similar-- but just looking at yours here's what I've got (until the inevitable--pretty please SSC?-- completion of it):

C3P0 (Hasbro stand in can be tolerated)
R2D2 (Hasbro stand in can be tolerated)
Chewbacca (Awesome custom that'll work for now)
Count Dooku (Hasbro hs on a new body as a stand in can be tolerated)
AOTC Anakin
TPM Kenobi (Awesome sunoch custom hs that I love in my collection)
AOTC Padme (Custom currently underway using the very strong snowbunny hs)
Boba Fett (Medicom is a good stand in... unless he's standing with anyone else)
Jango Fett (see above)
Biker Scout
Emperor (on order)
Royal Guard
Yoda (is coming soon)

So I'm a moderately not sad camper... Love to see some curveballs though at SDCC along with the expected.

No, I totally understand folks wanting more ESB this year. I feel bad for them in a way. I expect more at SDCC I really do. We'll know really in just a few weeks when July 1st gets here and they start previewing stuff.

Wasn't the first ANH item of 2007 the Yavin Luke? I remember the same frustrations then that we didn't see ANH stuff for quite some time during the anniversary year.

Princess Leia previewed 14.Mar.07
Yavin Luke previewed 03.Apr.07
Ben Kenobi previewed 22.May.07

----------Star Wars (ANH) 30th Anniversary date 25.May.07 ----------

Commander Praji (predicted during Spook) PPO 01.Nov.07
Smuggler Han previewed 03.Dec.07
Moisture Farmer Luke 08.Jan.08 (late ?)

Vader and Stormtroopers would follow at SDCC '08 but if memory serves,
his tease came in mid '07 with the proto standing in shadow behind Anakin.​

So given we had three full fledged announcements prior to the anniversary and don't yet have anything (again, I'd count the Yoda sneak peek but Sideshow oddly predominantly previewed the TPM more than the OT Yoda) in the 1:6 arena, it's safe to say there've been several missed opportunities. The actual anniversary date, ToyFair, Fantacular, etc. Hell, they could've previewed something over the 12 Days of Christmas deal. But to date, just a 1:1 bust and what most of us are hoping was an OT Yoda head flashed in the teaser. I'd love to be proven wrong and have a strong showing of ESB at SDCC, but it's doubtful.

having just watched the boba fett episode of clone wars
would people buy a clone youth?

i think iwould but only at a reasonable pric epoint

hmm... I don't think so, but it'd be a cool custom figure. I'd rather see more grown-up clones than a clone kid...

or even better- Jango/Boba

 

[Chew74]

Sideshow,

...with the lack of EMPIRE figures this year as Star Wars "fans" you fail hard.

Seriously, quit smoking ROTJ's pole & cashing in on clone troopers and give us figures from what is universally regarded as the best SW film, damn it!

WTF.

Seriously, watch them release about 17 stupid ROTJ figures in 2013 to celebrate what is obviously their favorite SW film.

...like an Ewok God help us!

They could start a bounty hunter line and do all the hunters from the bridge starting with Boba then Bossk, IG88, etc, etc...
They're turning into Hasbro 5 million Luke Skywalkers.

Fixed it.

I'm really over this whole thing about releasing ESB figures during the anniversary. Why, exactly, does it matter?

 

[jedibear]

Okay...skip the idea of the Anniversary then...how about ANY ESB figure announcements. anniversary or not?

For a company that prides itself on it's military line of figures, the lack of ESB stuff is pretty surprising...from the Hoth Rebels to the many Imperials to the heavily-geared Bounty Hunters, ESB offers a wealth of opportunity for Sideshow's team to shine...

While I'm enjoying the clones and the EU entries give my wallet a rest, the ROTJ focus is getting a little weary...c'mon Sideshow, let's see some ESB!

Why doesn't it?

 

[Batty]

Why doesn't it?

I don't know, it just doesn't matter to me. We'll get the figures when we get them. No sense in being pissed off at Sideshow about their release schedule. It's not going to change anything. We should be used to it by now.

But you guys continue.
