Sideshow 1/6th Tusken Raider

[Chakaman]

amazing shots King!!!
it is obviously clear Ssc needs someone on these boards to photo op their soon to be released figure...

 

[FLOSI]

He's probably expecting his alottment tomorrow or Friday.

He said tomorrow. Luke on Monday.

Nice pics king. Hows the joint's on yours?

 

[Chakaman]

Straight out of the box, no futzing.

Awesome figure. As mentioned earlier, all the weapons, bandoliers and cloaks are very nice. Great headsculpt. I will be getting a couple more of these guys down the road. Well done Sideshow!!

Jesus, the body on this is ****. I still love the figure, but only had time to have a close inspection of mine now. One elbow is disconnected, the other arm is floppy and bacwards, one thigh is backwards and had to be forced back around. The knees barely bend but the ankles fly around like propellers.

All fixable I guess, but it's a piece of ****. The head sculpt, weapons, straps and outer cloak are awesome. I'm pretty new to SS bodies, is it easy (apart from the bandages) to change to a TT?


Great pics King, best I've seen.

Damn Chris! You bought all TA's banoliers!

Looks great, BTW!

I guess I did. If you need a set let me know.


The body does have some issues. My arm was also on backwards. Easy fixes really.

Mine just arrived; very happy I got the EX version with extra weapon. Body on mine is good - kness work, elbows work without floppy action; I do keep my figures on their stands, so no real worries...

Did water treatment right away on this one - drying now...

Awesome pic, love the look of this fig - and right out of the box!

Do you have one of those bounce/diffusion lighting set-ups? The lighting looks great, shows the detail really well.

Getting excited - mine's out for delivery...

 

[Invictus Sol]

Damn, this figure is a home run. Hopefully I can catch a break down the line and get a third one cheap. Have a feeling these won't get discounted before they sell out, though.

 

[OSCORP]

He's here!






Got this far when the wife came home and I had to hide it. Shhhhhhh....

Did you hide your tampons to? Cause those will give you away each and every time!

That's a bummer Rory, nothing worse than an otherwise good figure arriving with those sorts of issues. Mine arrives today - I'm hoping I got one of the less problem-riddled bodies. This will only be my third SS figure, but yeh, the floppy bodies they're known for kinda irritates me given that I like to pose my figures without their stands. I have my stormtrooper supported by fishing line tacked to the wall - but that's what I do with a lot of my figures so they don't shelf dive if the display is bumped. Only difference is the stormie would topple over all on its own without that line.

Well despite the body issues, there is a lot to admire here, the head sculpt is very very good, exceptionally good paint for SS. So it's a success. I might try and bang together another one with spare parts.
Hope yours is good.

Are you trying to call me a puss-y?

Thanks Os.

Body is tight. No loose joints, just shatty bendy knees.

Great pics King, best I've seen.

Great pics, Chase!

Thank you sirs.

I look forward to pics from both of you.

Sorry to the old hands and me not being arsed to look back a few pages in this thread, but...

water treating involves taking off the costume accessories and soaking the clothing in water while still on the body, shaping the cloth and letting it dry - have I got that right?
