Sideshow 1/6th Tusken Raider

[Niltusk]

I wouldn't pay $175 for a standard version, just have some patience, these things are still selling for fairly cheap on Ebay if you watch them for any amount of time.

It's the bespin Luke narrow shoulder. I do not know what that translates to the TT Models .Wedged a AOU Hawkeye neck. Wanted to get a body that slouches the shoulders well, the raider looks great hunched and that body is effective for that natural bend.

Do you bother with the leg and arm wrapping or just leave that on the SS body?

I peeled the glue off and re-wrapped on the brown under suit. I used super glue to dab the ends and wrapped up the limbs.

They were $162 shipped which is a great deal. The ebay seller raised the price in the last hour or two after some people bought 2. Even at $179 that is a decent deal for a brand new figure that has sold out long ago. (Though sideshow found like 5 or 6) I am still saying this one is not readily available.

Congrats!

Is this your first one? I highly recommend the body swaps if you have a spare TT. Also soak all of the cloths and applylet dry. They are too poofy out of the box. Those two things take the figure to the next level.

This would be my second one. I got one a couple years ago, but I saw the e-mail from Sideshow and figured it'd be cool to have a second one. I've never done any mods to mine, but I might look into it.

The body on the stock figure is atrocious. Noticeably stubby arms, weak ankles, rubbery knees - it was the worst SSC body I've ever had. That said, I do really like the figure overall - more than the SSC Snowtrooper.

It looks really nice on the Luke body - proportions seem better, certainly longer arms would be a great start.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I'm still after one of these too.

Of course, I won't be happy until I do some heavy modding to it.

For is body I used hot toys stormtrooper tall version

 

[cmiller99]

That looks very good with the HT Stormie body James.

 

[TonTon]

James, did you leave the foam padding and body suit on there?

Well, Sideshow sent me a waitlist conversion e-mail on this, adjusted it to an active order and now they cancelled it and said it's no longer available. Boy I tell ya.

Ask them why someone out of China is selling them by the case-load on eBay...

Wow! Great shot!

So, I'm sure most on this thread have had their TR for a while - i've been looking for one. Prices on ebay are fairly nuts. Found one elsewhere for about $280. I doubt there is a new one coming from HT or SS, so...is this just too much for this figure? I know a body mod is almost a neccesity - I'm fine with that. Thoughts?

I asked Jack Bauer this and he said, quote, 'I would think eventually but nothing solid that I have seen right now.' So while there isn't one coming soon (that he knows of) I agree with him that eventually they'll do this, especially as they must have realised that a lot of people are on a 12 back mission. Besides, like the sand trooper it's an army builder - people seem to want two of those and they'll want two of these. As for SSC the prices for the Tuskens are just silly, I'd never pay that much for something you've got to do a body swap on which doesn't 'represent' a film, but merely completes the 12 back thing (which you can't complete anyway because no one's going to do a Death Squad Commander!).

I wouldn't put it past SSC to rerelease it either given the Boba and Probe Droid releases and then you've thrown your money away.

Wow. Hadn't even thought of that. Certainly possible. Why would they leave money on the table at a feast like this?
