Rebel Fleet Trooper 12" figure

[The Mike]

$70 is a nice change for this line I was expecting more (which is sad....) ordered one.

He's actually an instant hit!!! Might buy one just to have Vader choking him (I know... not screen acurate)

I ordered zero. I wonder if this will be like Praji's popularity of interest

I don't just order the popular ones. Just don't feel this one's very critical of a piece to own for $80 or whatever it's costing.

 

[FQRizzo]

Not interested in popularity...Praji looks great on my shelf.

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Damn, this is one fine looking figure. Plan on getting 3 in time and a great scuplt.

If you are going to respond, please put it in a new post. It is confusing when you respond by editing your old post.

Ordered...! This looks great...!

 

[crasis]

Ordered as well! This one is an instant home run for me, even though I didn't like the Endor troopers or Praji. Go figure.

These guys just go so well with the beginning of ANH, I can't resist getting one.

This guy needs more love. I fell sorry for him being in the shadow of Vader..... he looks terrific and the headsculpt is fantastic

Pity about the Buck.

Mike at Razors Edge has it up for preorder for only $62.99

Passed on Aayla and Ki Adi, but purchased the Rebel Fleet Trooper.

Not sure if 1 is enough, but not sure $140 for 2 or $210 for 3 is smart either.

More than likely I'll just have 1 for a while then when/if people dump or SSC puts him as Gift Card eligible, I'll get another.

How does that work? It's a Sideshow exclusive figure.

 

[jason2885]

I dont know but Mike is a great dealer and he has never not come through for me.

Anyone at SDCC: please ask why SS does not retire the BUCK?

 

[FlyAndFight]

Got my order in as well.

This guy looks fantastic and will definitely be a highlight in my collection.

Because some figures were developed before the Prometheus was completed.

 

[icruise]

I don't really buy that. Indy himself was originally sculpted with a full neck. They could switch these over to the new body if they wanted to, but it seems like they're using the buck for the more minor figures (apparently) as a way to keep them cheaper.

Thanks, is that the 'official SS' answer! Its just so specific, I want it to be true!!!! So, did they indicate the end of Buck is near?

No, they've stated when the Pro and Armor body were announced that the Buck would continue to be used as well. I'm not sure what to think with a character like Belloq being made on the Pro and others not, but, I'm sure the costumes have the luxury of being done differently on the Pro, so if they were deep in development of some figures, they'll use the Buck the clothes and head were made for because it'd be a huge delay to redo wardrobe and head sculpt.
