Sideshow CIV Exclusive Confirmed

[tomandshell]

I think it's Farmboy Luke, ANH Leia, or Old Ben Kenobi.

Yup.

My money is on Old Ben.




I hope I am not setting myself up for dissapointment.

 

[tomandshell]

I think that any of those three would be iconic enough for the 30th Anniversary and relatively simple enough to have produced in time. (They have, of course, been working on it for a while now.) I think that iconic Leia would really bug fans since she would be so different from the existing figure, and everybody is going to need Old Ben when the Vader gets released. Old Ben would be an easy entry into the long list of Jedi figures, but they can't make a limited number of him and then an inclusive amount of Vaders for him to duel. That's why I think Farmboy Luke is the best bet. There is already a Luke available, and I think they can do a Bespin Luke with a huge edition size down the road. If I had to guess, I would pick Luke to be the CIV exclusive.

 

[jedibear]

That's my guess and my (new) hope as well...

If it is a Farmboy Luke I would hate to be SS and hear from those fans of the 12" who are unable to get him. I hope that whoever it is, those of us on the other side of the continent (and in other parts of the world) who are not able to attend CIV are going to be able to snag an iconic ANH fig...

Luke, Obi-Wan, or Leia... I'd want them all.

Meh, Sideshow has proven that they take care of everyone who really wants something.

I agree... but to have an original 12" as a convention exclusive is scary for those of us far away---I only hope that we'll ALL get a chance at it.

 

[tomandshell]

I have a feeling that like Sith Anakin, they will be making so many of these that they will be convention exclusives in name only. There should be plenty to go around to non-attendees.

Yeah... Anyone have any problems getting a sith Anakin?





Anyone?




Bueller?




I didn't think so.

 

[Seretur]

All the non-attendee preorders have always been a sheer joy with Sideshow. Even from the other side of the world, I was always able to get precisely what I wanted -- and even the waitlist worked, when I was unable to be there at the precise moment. (That's why I now own the Thor Archive set, as good a purchase as any I've ever made.)

So I don't even worry about these items being convention exclusives, as I'm sure to be able to get them.

As for the identity of the 12" -- it has to be Farmboy Luke. Tom's sig is there for a reason.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Sith Anakin was just a rehash though with only minor paint differences. Doing one of the big 3 in their iconic ANH outfits as a convention exclusive seems like a recipe for disaster, the demand would be insane. If that's what SSC has planned, they better make sure they have more than enough to go around or all hell's gonna break loose.

Whatever it is the ES will be large enough to make sure enough folks get one.

 

[Serpentor]

Its pretty much a gaurantee that the edition size will be large. Anakin was what 6000? He was still floating around for a while and it was just a repaint. If its a fully new figure I'd expect either this to be the exclusive edition and a regular edition show up shortly after. Or have an edition size equal to that of sith Anakin or more. I sort of hope its something new and not just a varriant. At the same time a varriant could potentially save me money.

 

[IrishJedi]

Okay, my official guess:

ANH Ben or ANH Luke

Edition Size: 7,500-10,000

Good guesses as those would be mine as well.

 

[The Mike]

I think it'll be an ANH Luke with edition size of 10,000.

 

[IrishJedi]

I'd be pretty jazzed for a Farmboy Luke, actually. Other than Vader, there probably isn't a more "iconic" SW character. Just looking at him brings one back to '77 in an instant. And don't get me started on the Twin Sunset poses we'd all put him in ala the PF.

Not that I would have a problem with ANH Ben, Leia, Tusken Raider or anything else like that, either.

 

[The Josh]

A Tusken Raider would also be very cool IMO as well. I'd take that honestly of Farmboy Luke right now.

You know what, I would too. We already have a Luke and I quite like that SSC is the Anti-Hasbro in that they haven't released a gazillion Lukes already.

But we're in the minority on this one (wanting a Tusken Raider before another Luke), mesa thinks.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, if we hadn't had 1 Luke 1:6th and 3 PF I would be all for it but right now I can live without him. Something new and different is always nice and the TR fits that.

I agree I think we're in a small group. Ah well not everyone can be cool like us.
