Sideshow 1/6 Commander Wolffe

[Haloid1177]

It was delayed again? Ugh.

 

[automaton]

one would think SST would have clones "down" by now...

one would think SST would have clones "down" by now...

But arent they using new manufacturing techniques now for the new Clones? Wolffe being one of the first.

 

[epitaph04]

I got an email as well. Damn.

Well, gives me more time to get some cash for it!

 

[DCFett]

Yes but pushes all this stuff to coming on shore around Christmas, which sux!

SST should have taken this into account when planning the release date. one can count on something being delayed more than released on time these days... something is not working right with their process. as we are their captive forgiving audience, this mismanagement continues...

remember when Return of the Jedi was pushed back because they wanted to simulate high speed hover bikes in a forest for the first time? neither do i.

Which reminds me, I've yet to cancel my PO of the EX.

I ordered this largely cause of the new CW base and droid poppers.
Getting both in the 501st set.

How is the manufacturing technique different for Wolffe from the other Clone Commanders?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

The head, hair and eyes are all cast separately and are assembled after they have been painted so there is less paint slop.

Jump to about 2 minutes in where they talk about the new technique:

Here's a photo from Michael Crawford's site:

That figure at SDCC was supposedly a factory sample, and I think it looks pretty good.

The Luke and Han Hoth figures will also be using this technique and I think they looked spectacular at SDCC.

 

[Jaycepticon]

I absolutely CANNOT wait for this. It may just be my favorite clone figure out of all time.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Dang he looks nice! Too bad I don't have enough shelf space for SSC's 1/6.

Wow, thanks for that info! I was going to pass on this since I already have the other 7 Clone Commanders, but now seeing this I really want to have a look at the new technique! The current head sculpts are pretty plain and boring in their paint app, so it'll be great if this new technique provides a better paint job.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

No problem! I'm very anxious to see the final results as well. Like I mentioned before, I thought the Han and Luke protos looked phenomenal, and I think the new technique is largely responsible for that.

I think doing the eyes in that different material will make a world of difference. The eyes have been where most of Sideshow's paint apps fall apart (a close second would be stubble). Although maybe doing the hair separately might have been overkill.

Even this one is December?

 

[canadaclone]

Until he gets pushed back to Jan.

Agree on what you said Lou! I am very interested in how this figure is put together. I look forward to his release!

I heard that the armor will be more easily removable. Does anyone have any info about that?

Any news about the ankle joints and a hopeful increase in stability?

 

[Wah]

yeah, i'm really looking forward to this clone. love his armor deco

 

[CaptnRex]

Every thread I read the figure seems to be delayed to December.

I heard the same thing. I think t may have been in a YouTube video from SDCC.

 

[commanderwolf]

just got notice pushed to Jan, still looking forward to this release
