Damn the Raiders are stealing the show for me! Love these pic's.

The only one figure that concerns me is TPM Kenobi. I mean it looks like him, but it doesn't... and why not give him a real doll hair braid?

I guess human likeness' and BRAIDS are SSC achilles heel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that Vader base looks like it is intended to light up, ala ESB when he kneels before the holo-projection of the Emperor.

Yup. thats what I was thinking.

Yeah, loving the Tuskens. Was sort of questioning my decision to go with two (EX from SSC and regular from LCS) but looking at these pics, really glad I did. They look fantastic.

Agreed. I'd be really surprised if it wasn't light-up.

Dang, judging by those photos from figures.com, the whole display is full. What a massive let down. Where are the Hot Toys items??

I'm sure it is but I don't remember did that projector have an Empire logo on it?

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yeah, was wondering about that. If I recall correctly, that pad was just black with a lit outline around the edge. Maybe this stand is not based off of that but is meant more along the lines of Boba's Mandalorian stand.

i'm holding out for that 1/6th rancor...............

I can't wait for a 1/6th Rancor... And not because I want to buy one but because I want to see how GB manages to stay married during the purchase process.

Seems to me that the base lights up, either way (light up or not) if some special base is included, I'm really not looking forward to seeing the price tag on this Vader, even though he looks to be a killer figure..

Those Tuskens man! They are stealing the show!!! Looks like really crazy people dressed up and looking straight at the camera in some of those pics!!!

As for the other 99% of the 1/6 reveals at this years SDCC.. what a yawn... I mean seriously nothing unexpected besides maybe Malgus... Same can be said about the HT 1/6 line... Preds especially.. everythings either been released or seen already.... "OLD NEWS"

Yesssssssssss!

Vader's base/stand looks to me like stylized meditation chamber. At least it looks like that is what the inspiration was from.

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

I know its still early, so I'm hoping for a couple big announcements still to come. So far, SDCC has been a let down from Sideshow, but they can still recover.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Malgus PF and Shaak ti were my favourites, followed by the Mythos Obi and Boba

Eff that just give us a damn Meditation Chamber environment already!

Chogokin C3PO

I just saw on a couple of websites that this is a hyper-accurate 1/6 figure ("first figure to include the asymmetric back of the knee joints" - no idea)

It is at the Sideshow booth. It has light up eyes and articulated elbows, but there's no other info as to whether it's a statue or fully articulated action figure.

Is this "the" 1/6 C-3PO that SSC is releasing, or is this just another Asian line that SSC is distributing? i.e. we will have a choice of THREE roughly 1/6 C-3PO figures on the SSC website in the coming year (SSC, Medi and Chogokin)?

It looks amazing (more accurate than either the Medi 1/6 or the SSC PF, both of which have slight head issues) yet no one seems to be talking about this. I'm assuming with all the metal on it ("6/13") it is largely a statue, but there's no other info online.

 

[blue devil]

I didn't think that chogokin C3PO would be 1/6. That would probably put him in the way too expensive to get range. SOC DX Maz is $400 and 12" too.

Someone posted a video of this on youtube and it was titled '12" figure' and several websites seem to be referring to it as 1/6. Maybe someone who is at SDCC can confirm the scale?

$400 is not very user-friendly however.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah its Tamashii Nations/Bandai Chogokin. If hes 1/6 as others stated he'll be heavy as hell and yeah at the least $375
