Sideshow Bith 'Modal Nodes' Cantina Band

star wars fans love useless characters...

And iconic 70's science fiction art.

Ok knowing that SS has basically said they are in the Modal Nodes for at least five members, and given that given the general consensus that most people do not want Figrin due to his price or plain lack of interest, I have to wonder what Sideshow is going to do with the remaining members and unsold Figrins? From what I've read, most people who are buying Figrin have a problem with the price and I cannot see them forking out $400 or more to have the rest.

So I guess my question is, what is Sideshow gonna do?

I believe he will be on GC before the year is through along with his merry band of followers!!!

 

[devilof76]

If he's on GC availablitity by the end of the year, I don't expect to see followers.

 

[Brinn 71]

Sadly I won't get one at the full price Sideshow.

 

[toystales]

Will wait for GC for this figure... It's a very nice figure but I won't buy it at retail price. No way.

 

[Agent0028]

I haven't had a gift card in ages and the ones I always got were such a trifling amount it still wouldn't make it worth my while.

Yeah. $15 gift cards from Spooktacular or whatever don't do squat against a full price figure when you can get them for 10%-30% off from retailers at any given moment anyway.

 

[devilof76]

Especially since you don't get points on GC purchases.

 

[Yodacappy]

Although I could use reward points and get this one for $11, I think I'm going to save the points for a future exclusive figure and just wait until that thing goes on sale or something.

 

[Puay]

Expensive this one may be, there is a part of me that am really keen to get him soon.

I have placed order for one with my local retailer.

Yeah, I'm still going back and forth whether I should get it later on knowing I'll pay more or just go ahead and get the thing for $11.

 

[Puay]

This thread or rather these figures have been neglected for a while.

I am keen to see images of these guys at SDCC and of course the rumoured environment. I hope it has better RESEMBLES something from the movie.

I feel your pain, I think it's VERY likely that Figrin will see a price drop in the future, and you could use the points toward a more popular figure like deluxe Sandie, Gree, ultimate Vader, Boba Fett, Snowtrooper or any of the other awesome figs Sideshow has hinted at for this year - figures that will NEVER go down in price, but will actually increase in value on the secondary market and be highly sought after. Buuuuut...

I'm an impatient guy and I want Figrin D'an for my Cantina display, so I used my points and got him locked in for $30. I decided what the hell, I've got more points on deck and will be accruing more, I'll use those toward a Fett or Vader.

I was looking at the booth map and 4 more of the band members are showing up as being released as two packs:
Tech Mor and Doikk Nats
Tedn D'hai and Nalan Cheel


The only one missing is Ickabel G'ont who plays a Fanfar so if you want to have the complete lineup you will need to get another Figrin Dan.

Or Sideshow could go for the 7 member version and do another 2-pack.

That is true but technically they would need to include Lirin Car'n dressed like this as this is how he appeared in the movie:

and while there at it a Muftak and Kabe two pack would be absolutely awesome.

 

[galactiboy]

Still have zero interest in a full set... but figure I'll get one at some point in the future.

 

[Tee-Kay]

I guess we can expect them all to be displayed with Chalmun's cantina environment at the Con. It's gonna make for a killer setup

 

[Khonsu70]

I fear the prices of these 2 packs. If they are $200 (in keeping with Figrin D'an) - EASIEST PASS EVER. I'll be happy with just Figrin D'an, and perhaps pick up the rest someday when they are put on clearance by various retailers.
