No. We can't make a figure that a bunch of you would actually want - you see we've gotten quite accustomed to the complaining and we now feed off of it (that and the souls of children - ummm souls of children:drool) WE NEED THE COMPLAINTS!!!!!!

Truly you are an evil empire build on the tear stained pillows (Star Wars themed of course) of colletors :bow :bow :bow
 
:lol...............nail on the head........:duh.......so to speak....:lol
 
So with more armored characters... any chance of, oh I don't know;

A Medieval F'n Kurgan?!?

I have to admit, although irrelevant to the thread, a Medieval Kurgan would be pretty damn cool. But does Sideshow even still have the Highlander license? And after Highlander: The Source, who'd even want it? That movie blew harder than a bad case of the Tijuana squirts! :yuck

You could probably buy the license back for them for $0.50 on ebaY!:rotfl
 
:chewHA-HA!:chew
:p :p :p :p

:rotfl


Well, could be worse.

It could have looked like this...

...and you still saying you can't see a difference
and that it looks exactly like the little picture in the background.

:elefant
 
Presumably, back when they showed off the armor with Obi-Wan, they showed a black body suit for regular Clones, I assume they'll reuse the same method just in black material, not brown, and I'm sure that's why in much of the lighting, the ribbing doesn't show if it's printed on and not stitched as we're hearing with Obi-Wan, it probably comes out even more subtle on the black material.

Obi-Wan's is black as well. It is just the neck piece that is brown.
 
You could tell us it's being added to right now to convert it to Commander Cody :D

Unless they alter the chin and aerator portion it will definitely be inaccurate for Cody, Bly, Gree, et al.

Apparently there is some anomaly with the 212th/Utapau helmet design in that area that no one noticed before. Either that or SSC didn't get it quite right and LFL didn't notice. :monkey3

Whatever... I still ordered one. :monkey1

Seriously, though, how the further Clone helmets turn out will surely tell the true tale. I am personally doubtful about this notion that the Utapau helmets are somehow different, but I'll go with giving the benefit of the doubt now. If Shatterer of Dreams says it looks "exactly" like the reference photo they were given by LFL, then I have no choice but to take him at his word. And us "nit-pickers" can accept it... as along as SSC realizes that it would be inaccurate if they also intend to use this exact same sculpt for the rest of the EP3 trooper helmets. There is certainly no lack of reference images (both official LFL released ones and screen captures) of most of the other EP3 Troopers. :lecture
 
Well, it's SSC's responsibility. It's up to them if they want the inaccuracy of the helmets to remain a footnote eternally linked to their clones. :D I like this figure, but even without the reference material I saw that there was something wrong with the helmet. And I'll continue see it. But, hey, I ordered the figure, so, as far as SSC is concerned, it's mission accomplished!

Let's not forget: it's only a toy!!! The world will continue to turn. :D

BTW: LOW QUANTITY ALERT on the exclusive. Only 50 left of the total edition, what ever it may be (TBD). I like the exclusive base. Good idea.

WOW, even IrishJedi has plead "no contest." But some people just won't give it up, despite the fact that Sideshow says it matches the LucasFilm source material for the Utapau trooper... I guess you'll just have to select the NIN playlist on your iPod, have a good cry and get over it.
