NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[barryo]

I've never seen that before... that is so awesome its painful

I can't believe no one has ever made that as a bar accessory?!?

it would make a bad ass martini shaker................

 

[Batty]

I hope Sideshow gives IG-88 a light-up head. That would really set him apart from the Hasbro... which is actually quite nice BTW.

Heck, just upping the articulation will help quite a bit.

It'll probably be made of polystone and cost $150.

IG-88???!!!

I still have nightmares of IG-88 from the N64 Shadows of the Empire game. He terrifies me to this day.

$150? Polystone? Try $250. I bet the plastic 1:6 IG-88 will be pushing $150 anyway.

All I know is that its pretty freaking awesome that SSC has finally opened the floodgates on which characters they'll make into figures. The Gammy, Hammerhead, IG-88, Max Rebo Band, Grievous, Battle Droids. No one seems off limits anymore!

Agreed. These are awesome developments regardless of what your favorite characters are.

 

[devilof76]

All of my favorite characters fell squarely into the category of things unlikely to be produced, so I think it's particularly awesome.

I take it all your favorite characters are from The Empire Strikes Back?

That would be awful

Although as Irish mentioned... still probably in the $130-$150 range for a plastic version.

I'm not 100% sold as I'm happy with the repainted Hasbro. But if the Sideshow is far and away better I can always relegate the Hasbro version to a CW style repaint.

Like G.I. Joe they tell us all of our favorites are "in development" but we won't see them for many years to come.

With all of the hints SS has dropped we could possiblt see Yoda, Cody and IG-88 revealed at SDCC.

My hope for a 1:6 Watto might just come true too.

I was alwasy quite happy with the 1/6 Hasbro Watto-- now a SSC Sebulba... that'd be great.

 

[IrishJedi]

Hasbro's 1:6 Watto is way over-sized.

 

[kl241]

Hasbro's 1:6 Watto is way over-sized.

Medicom's 1:6 Watto will be way under-sized.

 

[IrishJedi]

If Medicom made a Watto it'd probably be the size of a Kubrick.

 

[DarthNeil]

Hasbro's 1:6 Watto is way over-sized.

Maybe-- but for what I eventually paid for it, I think I got it for something like $6, I think it's fine.

Here's an old pic of my collection--- he may need some repainting but overall how can you really complain about this offering? Yes, SSC could most assuredly do one better, but there are more unique aliens that have never seen 1/6 creation that I'd really like first (like I said, Sebulba-- or did Hasbro ever make a 1/6 of that character??).

 

[IrishJedi]

Hasbro indeed made a 1:6 Sebulba. I have one somewhere.
