SSC Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

[Sebkenobi]

Here is my ESB setup with the new Luke... Got him in a slightly crouching position so he looks shorter than Boba and Lando. Lightsaber blade is from the Padawan Obi-Wan. I know I'm the only one who thinks this, but I always preferred those thicker blades to the toothpick ones from the earlier Sideshow figures and the recent Hot Toys versions. Closer to what we see on film IMO.



And I agree with Darnell, seems the only ones still commenting here are the ones still bashing it and not buying it anyway. No use beating a dead horse... He's sold out, and will just see his price increase even more from now on. People need to get over it.

I love it, and was lucky to have gotten one at regular price!

Thank God for alpha males like Darnell!

I don't think I made this comment sarcastic enough.

Yeah me too, we'll have to wait for Darnell to pop back in to give it another go.

Luck had nothing to do with it. You were just one of the hundred or so people who were willing to pay sideshow's egregious price. So rejoice for now and wait for the price to plummet when either A) sideshow makes more or B) Hot Toys makes a better version.

I'm hoping for B very soon, but my guess that it would be 5 years away.

At least nobody's bitter.

This Fig sucks, but im glad ill be able to sell mine and break even or make some $$

At least 2, ROTJ luke will be announced this year, released next and then maybe we'll see Hot toys get around to it

...........I got mine the other day. I am really enjoying it. No doubt it is over-priced but so is all this ****.

Along with the ROTJ, there's also likely to be one or two figures of Luke from TLJ. Given that this one just came out, I can see HT doing Hoth Luke first, then the Snowspeeder Pilot eventually. I still say SSC did a great job on this one overall.

Good posting /\

At the moment this is up there in my top 3 favourite figures. Yes it's overpriced, but we all pay way more than we should for these damn dolls anyway.

I've seen plenty of the new HT snowtroopers sell for well over retail price on eBay, just because people want them in hand before they get a general release.

You pays you're money you takes you're choice.

Good posting, I think everyone can agree on this:

1. The overall quality of the figure is adequate, certainly not perfect but good
2. It is overpriced


Lets just accept this and use this thread to discuss the figure.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Still, your post makes me wonder if people would be more forgiving of this figure's short-comings if it wasn't so bloody expensive.

I love the posing of your figures and your display makes me want to go watch ESB immediately! Nice job! Hoth Leia is going to fit in there nicely.

Hell yes I would be, but price is part of the equation. If this was $220 I would have bought it with a coupon, been mildly irritated by a couple of its shortcomings, and overall been satisfied. But what sideshow has done here is taken a beloved character in a costume that they know is desirable and held folks hostage with a price well above industry standard for a decent figure with some really glaring flaws. It's very bad form.

I bought this for one reason only, I'm a Dagobah nut and this effectively completed my Dagobah collection of figures to pose around the hut... If I ever find room for it.

I will say that a DX07 and X-wing Luke give you everything you need to kitbash this figure except the jacket. if someone could do a custom run of jackets people would be set, and with a much better figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I think this figure looks terrific. Congrats to those who got one. I really want one myself, but since this is now gone, I'm rooting for an HT version close behind.

My girlfriend won't let me do this but I did consider getting a glass counter from Amazon. I found 1 for just under $500. It was one of those store display counters. Dagobah hut would fit inside with room to spare. However I'm not the boss of the house.

 

[Darth Fok]

Admittedly I'd buy this for retail if it was available.....even though I've slagged the figure off LOL

Damn this hobby.

So much entitlement going on here.
