Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

[Mad Old Lu]

Very cool. I'm usually not big into gimmicks, but lights and sounds seems appropriate for this guy. I'm also digging how the Vader looks with his light up chest thing.

 

[Commander Cody]

for some odd reason the probe droid is always in my head when i think back to my childhood memories of SW. So ill be getting this just for that!

 

[Sachiel]

This droid scared me.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Might be it's spider like looking head.

 

[VASith]

sound?.................cool.

one of the better sound bites for droids in the movie. when you hear it you know where it's from.

Better than "exsqueeze me?"

Never mind...jar jar isn't a droid. But that is a great quote.

 

[jedijim3002]

Not sure I'd get this without a chewy. Maybe down the road when it's twice the price cause chewy got announced. Lol

 

[Pixelpiper]

All you need is a room full of snow (or spray foam) and this thing is a sure-fire lady killer.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

It will look nice in a detolf, maybe two spaces required with a snow scene behind all lite up

I found this neat image on Flickr the other day.

It looks like the SSC is definitely bigger, but it's hard to tell exactly how big from these images.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Depending on the stand looks like it might fit on one shelf, antenna down, the concept image seems a bit under scale to me, I would have thought at least the Wampa height fully extended and hovering just off the ground.
But I need to dedicate 2 shelves to ht bespin Luke on the antenna as well with cloud back drop , oh man I've got some space to clear. My big hope is this guy has some weight to him out of the box, bring on a die cast SW line, jk. Man that tauntaun just looks great, I won't delay to order this like I did the dewback

 

[Pixelpiper]

I still don't have the Dewback. Still waiting for at least a $25 discount from SSC to help offset the hefty shipping. I was very surprised there were no discount codes for July 4th or I probably would have already ordered it. Of course if a forum member comes along selling one for a very nice price I could always go that route.

You've seen the high resolution image I've made and posted to my backgrounds thread for this right?

 

[shocktrooper_au]

I waited and got him locally about 6 months later for $100 less plus free shipping, I can already see Luke sitting the opposite side of the cabinet. Probot in detolf

 

[Pixelpiper]

Unfortunately the only place I know locally that has this kind of stuff is at least 40 minutes away on a good day and their Dewback price is currently US$350 - on top of which I would still have to pay 13% tax - and while love to shop locally, I'm against high prices and paying taxes on my collectibles.

 

[Tee-Kay]

If you guys hear of a good Dewback Deal (available overseas), let me know. Also on the look out for this before i (eventually) get to the probot.

The Probe Droid is the best looking piece in that display....

....probably the most expensive too....

I think in depends on the materials, its a nice stand alone piece, in fact I think other pieces detract from it

 

[jkno]

With light and sounds this will be very cool. Now to make it with a clear pole and a cool snow base, and I'm going to display it next to my 1:1 Laws AT-AT Driver bust.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Great looking piece. Will try to pick it up if the price is right.

Chewie's absence in 1/6th continues to be a travesty.

Couldn't agree more.

I asked the Probe Droid experts on RPF to share their opinion on the upcoming Sideshow 1:6 Probot:
