Sideshow Bith 'Modal Nodes' Cantina Band

[Puay]

Hi McFly. Did you get the SDCC exclusive at the show?

Hey Puay, no - ordered online and shipped to NZ via FedEx.

Not sure if a comparison shot was posted here with the Hasbro figure, but here's a crappy photo of both.

And here's a photo I took at Rick Baker's house in 1977 or '78 of one of the original masks used in the film. Seems the Hasbro head, while flawed and not as nicely detailed, might be closer to the actual mask as far as the overall size/shape of the head goes:

I know Silent Surfer said he only painted the five band members, but has Sideshow said anything about finishing the band? Kinda sucks to only have five of them...

Re: 1/6th Creature Cantina band

Those gift cards are damn near useless.

Damn near, but I managed to find use for one. Used a $75 card on - hey, how about that - Figrin D'an!

He just arrived as I was typing my above post. I notice he comes with two instruments. Perhaps THAT'S how Sideshow expects us to 'complete' a set of six?

Yes, but if you buy two Figrin D'Ans, then you have your sixth member - as he comes with an additional instrument.

FD's extra instrument is the same instrument that comes with one of the members in the "store" exclusive set.

Yodacappy's in the process of sculpting and casting the additional two instruments, so buying the customs would be an ideal solution for those hardcore enough to want all seven band members.

 

[Weezer]

I'm good with Five members! But I'd love to see the custom instruments in action!

 

[canadaclone]

Anyone have the Hasbro versions with different instruments? Maybe those instruments will display ok with the Sideshow characters.

Ickabel G'ont and Tedn Dahai both played the same instrument, the fanfar.

Doing a lot of frame by frame research at this point. Tedious but if I'm going to do it, I want it done right!

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yep, makes sense, Yodacappy. Sorry, didn't mean to speak on your behalf or imply these instruments were imminent. Was just going off the conversations I'd read here and at RS. Given the paucity of source material, I can imagine it's going to be a time-consuming process.

Oh no, no apology necessary, I'm glad to know someone is paying attention...

It's going to be interesting for sure. Keep an eye out on my thread in the customs area, I'll post pics of my progress.

I am sure you will be happy with them. Personally I just cant bring myself to purchase to much cantina related things because its a slippery slope. I am if SSC ever releases a cantina bar environment with bartender I will be poor and dump so much money trying to rebuild the cantina but until that day my clone army expands.

 

[DarthTrafford]

Tech Mo'r and Doikk Na'ts Bith will be here on Friday from SSC!

Still waiting to hear from BBTS about the other 3 band members.

 

[canadaclone]

Anyone have the Hasbro Band members?

The TEDN figure in that set seems to have a different instrument - a black "Fanfar"...wondering if it would look right with a Sideshow Bith?

Sorry if this was posted before, but for reference to the other instruments:

Hey Greedo, smoke'em if you got'em!
