SSC Ponda Baba 1/6 Scum and Villainy

[asgardianboy]

I just asked about recent movements in the waitlist. I got more or less the same reaction I just got from you but without the insight.
Thanks for that.
Anyone else?
Thx.

To follow up on this, my waitlist position converted and finally pre-ordered.
I will be selling this figure's boots, because I will put together real leather boots.
I know original boots included in the figure will be state of the art in terms of sculpting & weathering, looking more realistic an to scale that leather will ever do, but I like multimedia.

This should be realising pretty soon. If anyone want my boots, please PM me.

Thanks everyone for your counseling btw.

Last but not least, I just realised Sideshow got the color of the holster belt wrong. It is tan, not black.
Had any of you already caught this one?
Any possibility of fixing that mistake if we told Sideshow? (No one has yet?)

LMK
Thx

I know it’s sideshow and not hot toys, but I’m surprised more people aren’t excited for these. Personally, I can’t wait. I’ve been hoping for cantina aliens forever and I regrettably skipped previous sideshow aliens. Hopefully they follow through with Jabbas palace crew.

I’m excited! The OT is still my favorite to collect. I thought they mentioned they had the Bib Fortuna prototype months ago on a stream.

They need to keep doing OT aliens. Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like Ackbar or Nien Nunb would be like printing money for Sideshow.

I’m looking forward to these as well. But I might say cautiously optimistic more than anything considering how hit or miss Sideshow figures turn out in production. Also I think it’s a big letdown for all the outfits to be so clean considering the prices SS is asking.

So true. SSC is disappointing most of the times, w/ brilliant exceptions. These figures are delivered half done.

Because prices on these ones are insultingly high. SSC really is fleecing us, elderly OT fans.

Thx

I’m 43 and honestly it blows my mind that the OT isn’t still considered, by far, the de facto most popular version of Star Wars. Could you imagine the Jackson LOTR films ever not being considered the most popular version of LOTR, no matter what other films or shows get made in the future? Or the Harry Potter films ever not being considered the most popular version of Harry Potter? I guess it’s all inevitable but still, hard to imagine.

I love the idea of these figures. Just not for the price and Sideshow’s general quality. I might see if any of these hit discount prices eventually. Might get at least Greedo but just not a huge priority.

If HT did this guy I could see them doing a second damaged jacket and severed arm. That's the set up I'd go for. A nice cantina floor base with wall back drop would have been nice too.
