Sideshow Commander Bacara Figure

[Darkarn009]

So I just received my Commander Bacara in the mail - I knew he was going to have some inaccuries to the film, but after opening I noticed his patch is centered right on his belly and not his right peck..

I noticed other people got him like this - I know it's a pretty easy fix but I'm letting sideshow know. I think it's ridiculous they allowed a lot of these items to ship like that. I shouldn't have to modify a $135 figure straight out of package.

I'll let you know what they say.

You'd be surprised...

I know this came out years ago...but I just got him so I'm sharing. Why can't Hot Toys Troopers be this flexible...

He's wicked cool. Hot Toys helped design those bodies. Crazy if their own troopers can't be posed as well.

It's kinda sad thinking about pose and amount of accessories you used to get and it was only 2 or 3 yrs ago.

Thread resurrection time. Thanks to Darkseed I finally have Bacar on the shelf. Great looking figure. Just needs a new body.

Lonely Bacara . . . He needs some grunts! Galactic Marines, that's what you should do next HT!

Nice picture @Cocoboloboy , how are the joints holding up?

He really does need some troops around him. Joints are loose. He can’t stand unaided.

LOL! Just thinking of the reissue of Grievous. Sideshow has done some great achievements in the 1:6 realm recent decade.

Well that sucks. Most SS clones seem to suffer a similar fate.

Yep. It’s the way of the Sideshow.

Nice shots, all....

Lopie's pauldron redux really sold this figure way back when. Wish I had picked it up. It's the only other Clone Commander I would consider if HT does it correctly and of course, includes those Galactic Marines!

Here he is again...yes the joints a plenty loose now. But he still looks pretty cool...

@jedibear @Cocoboloboy from your posts joints are quite loose. How loose are we talking, not able to stand on its own without stand? If you lift his leg and arm to 90 degrees, will it stay in position or drop like a barbie doll?

Might bite the bullet for one if not too bad.

We’re talking marionette limbs. Limbs will drop mostly; very little friction left. Of the 15 Sideshow Clones I still have, I wouldn’t trust any without a stand. They can stand sort of, but they could also fall over at any moment.

They still look great though. And you can do a body swap if you want to. Bacara is a very nice figure as well.

I have them all standing so close together not only to get them in frame but also because they’re supporting each other to stay standing. Which is at least accurate to the show.

Pretty loose if I remember right. I sold him a while ago but I would never have been able to display him without a stand.

I am guessing the best way to fix the looae body is to replace with a Hot Toys slim (or similar slim) body.

The other way might be to strip the figure down then re-stiffen all joints using loose joint fix liquid or the old super-glue/nail varnish tricks.

Could do, but it's another ~$75 and can the hands even be attached to HT bodies..?

Take some modding to gets hands/feet/head to fit but thqt used to be the standard for kitbashing back before brands started to standardise around HT body joints and connectors.

There were some good quality cheap KO HT slim bodies before but they seem to have dried up, hopefully another batch gets made as they were maybe 20 bucks.


Although not exactly an upgrade to Sideshow (It was an upgrade for the fragile Marmit troopers though) I have used Barbie "made to move" Ken bodies for armoured troopers since they are slim. They lack torso articulation but can at least stand most of the time.
