Sideshow Bith 'Modal Nodes' Cantina Band

[Deak Starkiller]

Hey I didn't make this ____ up. Blame West End Games, Decipher, and LFL.

 

[bloodgear]

Actually traces back to the ROTJ novel as well, apparently. Blame them too.
Actually just blame Lucas for calling the music ****.

Ahem...."interesting" chatter aside...back to the figure here...

He looks pretty good...

 

[Michael Crawford]

So am I missing something? Dan is the only one solicited so far, right? And is the assumption that we have to buy two Dan's so that we have those two instruments covered?

 

[devilof76]

You may have missed the other two.

And two more were shown in the cantina display at SDCC (though are yet to be solicited).

 

[Michael Crawford]

Oh, yea - that was the retailer one. Yep, ordered that too. Must be getting old. But aren't both of these playing a different instrument than the extra one with Dan? So do we need to buy a second Dan?

 

[devilof76]

To have seven members, you'd need three D'ans. There are two fanfar (gold thing) players. There is also another guy who plays the kloo horn (D'an's other instrument).

This is assuming they're only making five figures, but with D'an having an extra, it doesn't look like they'll make all seven. Only five were shown at SDCC.

 

[Michael Crawford]

Thanks - I may snag another Dan, although I'm not sure the diorama can really fit 7 anyway.

As always great pics JB! I feel kind of bad, the cantina band may fall through the cracks this holiday season. It's one of SSC's best, GREAT paint apps. Really solid little figure.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Wow, my neck post animated gif was deleted? Come on, we're all grown ups. It's just a neck post.

 

[FLOSI]

Buy it after... That's the cool thing about being a SW collector, old figures are almost always available at retail, with the exception of Vader and the Stormtrooper. I played a lot of catch up this year.

Thanks! Yeah, he's a decent figure ...hope the figure gets the appreciation it deserves...

Oh, yes, but what a neck post, eh? I put it back... (and as for all grown-ups? Well, that's debatable... )

 

[Deak Starkiller]

In all honesty, I didn't doctor the photo at all. That's literally what it looks like. Even Silent Surfer thought so too. Nate don't lie. Thanks JB.

Is the conection between the head and neck pretty noticable/bad, JB?

 

[jedibear]

Kind of, but it just depends on how the head is positioned and if the collar is pulled up ok - I think it looks fine.

 

[FLOSI]

That's about the only part that looks weird to me, but I'm thinking it can be easily hidden...

 

[devilof76]

Mine's here Friday.

 

[FLOSI]

Can wait to see your pics!!



...Wait. Nevermind.

Cap comes Friday for me.

 

[devilof76]

Cap's the first Marvel figure I've wanted. If you post pics of him I'll post pics of D'an.
