SANDTROOPER 12" Figure

[Khev]

Yeah, they probably would have made the silly SE Dewbacks anyway and not one of these hairy bad boys.

 

[DarthTrafford]

Sideshow is going to put me in the poor house with this!
I want this so bad but there are some other figures coming out that I really want too!
What to do?
:chew

 

[Wor-Gar]

That picture always brings back memories -- it was the very first pic I ever saw of something from this weird movie called "Star Wars"...which at the time I thought had something to do with "Star Trek".

 

[Artoo]

Oh what timing! I was just starting to look for the Marmit on ebay because I've just started to customize some of their weapons. What's with the base being the exclusive? I'm going out to pick up some aluminum tubing to cut for that "look sir...." pose.

 

[Starkiller]

Yessss!!!!:chew:chew:chew

Here is a legit question. Obi-Wan Kenobi AOTC was previewed after the Clonobi right? Although it was slated for a Q2 release. Yet with many overseas companies already taking shipment of him its obvious that this one will ship earlier which isn't a surprise since they are using a buck and the sculpt is already completed with the costuming already pretty much well done and provided.

Now, the Stormtrooper was originally slated to ship last month now will ship sometime this month. The Commander was originally Q2 and the Sandtrooper will most likely be as well. With the same same materials being used in all three for about 99% of the inclusions save the Sandtrooper accessories will we see a jump in order as well? Will we get an onslaught of Troopers?

 

[Odowankenobi]

Ok, Sideshow, enough now. Bring us some non-troopers, please. Lando, Dooku, droids, anything,but please, no more Storm/clone trooper variants for a while.

 

[The Mike]

Give me my AOTC clone right now any color I don't care and then I'll be happy. Don't move on until then.

 

[Darth Madden]

I doubt I will get one but he looks good.

They did say that 09 is the year of the armored character - so I'd expect a few more troopers.

Apparently you missed where SS said 2009 will see mostly armor.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Keep 'em coming.

 

[barryo]

............love the sandies, hope the detail of the back packs rival the marmit versions. and the hasbro dewback will go just fine with these....

 

[tomandshell]

Stupid iPhone! All I get on the preview page is a blue Lego block with a question mark inside.

 

[FQRizzo]

Looks like it's time to sell my Medi Sandtrooper.

I thought everyone was clamoring for armored figures for the last two years...?

You want Lando over, say, a Hoth Snowtrooper?

It's flash video and the iPhone doesn't do flash.

Anyway, I'm cutting back on 1/6 figures, but I'll be getting one these guys. Already have the Hasbro dewback, although it could use a repaint.

By the way, why is it that my newsletter regularly comes many many hours later than most other people's?

I have that stupid Hasbro Dewback too. Impulse buy.

I prefer the original -- as always -- but it might work with a serious repaint. Les did one that looked awesome. If he could add the hair as well, then you got something!

 

[arnax161]

The greatest announcement ever...I have long waited for this day to come. Sideshow has answered my prayers. It would be nice for some extra pauldrons to be included. I love that they went with that obscure MG-15 (?)...Really different from all the past offerings. Wow, I am glad I waited and didn't buy the Medicom. The Sideshow version should look nice next to my Marmit. Again, GREATEST ANNOUNCEMENT EVER!!!

 

[Deak Starkiller]

This is awesome news, granted I want me some Lando but any trooper news is great news in my opinion. And yeah I agree that he should come with different pauldrons/guns so people have display options (good call Dave). Would help with all the people still crying about the Endor troops.
