Sideshow 1/6th Tusken Raider

[Darthrazz]

What's the deal with sand people? Are they humans? Was a backstory ever fleshed out?

 

[Pixelpiper]

Not human. See here: https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tusken_Raider

The non-EX is available for gift card redemption now..

Thanks, reuters, just picked-up my third and final Tusken for $110.00. Finally something worthwhile on the gift card list.

My cousin just picked up an Exclusive Tusken.

He put it in his SSC basket about a week ago but never paid for it, forgot about it and went on holiday for a week.

He came home yesterday, logged in to SSC and saw the Exclusive Tusken still in the basket.

He paid for it yesterday and it has been processed and shipped out today.

Looks like they may have an Exclusive or two still knocking around the warehouse in SSC.

Might be worth an email to customer care for anyone still looking.

So my cousin got his delivery from Sideshow. All paper work and delivery dockets said Ex Tusken however when he opened the shipper (just a plain cardboard box, not the usual Sideshow shipper) he was greeted by an Exclusive Snowtrooper....needless to say he wasn't impressed. He already has the Snowtrooper. He has emailed Sideshow and is awaiting their response.

Little known fact in the world of star wars...........known only in certain circles.........tusken raiders would get so hot in the desert all rational thinking was lost (thus the term crazy from the heat was born) and yet.driven to madness by the heat they would sometimes hop a transport to hoth for some cool invigorating down time.........in order to blend with the locals sometimes extreme measures were taken so they would have to steal some snowtrooper armor to hide their identity. It just may be your cousin came into this rare yet valuble find. Of course it would need authenticating but he may very well sittting on a gold mine with this oddity.......






Or............ssc ****ed up the order........

Ha Barryo I like it.

I reckon Hoth would be a nice change of scenery for the Tusken, although that respirator would be a pain under that Snowtrooper cowl!

I'll let him know that he is sitting on a prospective gold mine with his double Ex Tusken Snowtrooper.

I still don't know how they messed up his order like that though.

Some pictures of mine. This 12 'sweat Tatooine. A magnificent achievement Sideshow.

Great pic!

It's really hard to get a good picture without the salmon color coming through. My Tuskin Raider looks great to the eye, but once i start taking photos of him the salmon color makes it's appearance.

Anyone know of any tips to take pictures without the salmon color showing up?

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I should own this figure by now!!!

Damn budget..

Adjust the white balance and color temperature after taking the picture if you van't find settings on your camera to prevent it.

How did this come along?

 

[paramoremcr88]

If only the arms weren't an inch too short... I can't believe Sideshow would copy the proportions of the Hasbro figures here.

 

[qbomb71]

I don't think the arms are an inch too short. It's the cut of the rob that gives an illusion of short arms when raised. If they were an inch longer, he would have monkey arms.

Great pics BTW Paramore.

Thanks, glad you like the pics!

I agree, I think it's the robe that makes the arms look short when they're raised.

 

[Pixelpiper]

It's not the robe. Look at the distance from the hands to the top of the head - now go raise your arms in the mirror. Unless your name is Cee Lo Green, your reflection will look nothing like that Tusken.
