Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

[VASith]

it is also the most profitable license SS carries.

If other companies (ie Hottoys) can offer diecast, I see no reason for why SS could not have done the same here.

A hot toys die cast probe droid would cost at least 500 bucks. No thanks.

A hot toys plastic probe droid would cost at least 500 bucks. No thanks.

Fixed that for you. It would also have electronics that were improperly wired.

Would the clear rod from Iron man Work for the prob ???

And the rubber would flake in a fortnight. But it would have a brilliant tony stark alternative head. Just imagine the probe droid scouring Hoth with robert Downey jrs face.

Oh hot toys sheep.....when is iron man mark 4500000 coming out? How bout you make half a figure and charge 300 bucks for it. . Oh wait..you have.

But Hot Toys have never made a Robert Downey Jr. head sculpt…

See what I did there? And people complain about Nathan Drake...

 

[mah45]

What would it look like if you placed the probe droid on the Fortress of solitude ?

Shhhhhhh. Don't rattle the cage. The sheep are sleeping.

Just a note about pricing - keep in mind that Star Wars is the most expensive license ever. Sideshow has had to make some sacrifices to continue with the license and Lucasfilm gots to collect their cut.

Thanks jedibear. I posted some photos of Echo and Fives for you in their thread too

 

[TaliBane]

Daz, your pics of the Probe Droid are as good as Sideshow's. Not sure if you are a photographer or not, but they definitely look professional.

 

[Dinosoar Daz]

Very kind of you to say Talibane, much appreciated. Photography's just a hobby for me.
I just love taking photos of my toys

 

[PopCultKid]

Well feel free to share some more because these have me pretty pumped! I'll decide for myself when this is in hand if I think the light weight equates to cheap build or it's a non-issue but going off the better pics so far, this is looking pretty good.

Does it have a foreign accent or are the squarks accurate?

Spent some time arranging the limbs and adjusting the base. I'm liking it a lot. Going away for a few days so I won't get a real camera near it for a couple of weeks.

 

[PopCultKid]

Looks great. Maybe a very slight drop in paint quality (weathering) from the protos but doesn't seem to be anything to cry over.

I think the difference is that I am a statue guy, not a figure guy.

I would have preferred SS do away with the gimmicky lights and sound effects and (gasp) articulation. I would pay more than $500 for something like that in 1/4 scale.
