Shanester Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I hope my waitlist converts for the Guardian. That was the day I was dealing with Zend BS. I got in 7 minutes late... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 My waitlist from about 6 minutes after going on sale shipped. I've heard some that actually got the preorder in havent shipped yet... strange. 6 minutes, huh? This gives me hope. I was right at 7 minutes past the start time. (07/02/2010 17:07) EDIT: I JUST CONVERTED!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Grats Shanester!!! Did you see the 1/6 scale Yoda and Yoda's Hut environment! I used to have a model kit that I put together when I was younger that was a cutaway of Yoda's hut, I may just have to get this! EDIT: Look at all the stuff it comes with! The Exclusive version of Yoda comes with the old-school Kenner style orange snake!!! (I still remember the day I lost mine at my grandma's house...)

Shanester Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yep, just ordered Yoda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) I broke down and put myself on the Flexpay plan for the hut environment... With Yoda, Gamorrean Guards, and Hammerhead, it seems like Sideshow is finally branching into the realm of non-human body designs!

minivenom Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm still on the fence with the Star Wars items. I'm spending an ungodly amount of money just on Hot Toys offerings. I really want that Yoda, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) I have a few Star Wars Sideshow figures, but only very few. The bad headsculpts and paint jobs on many of the older figures have kept me from getting more. But they have really stepped up their game the last couple of years. Vader is magnificent. And Storm Trooper is nice except for the flimsy joints. I will have to get a Sideshow Boba Fett if/when released.

minivenom Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yeah, I think I will be in on a Boba Fett once they get around to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 So my T-800 was delivered to my neighbor. I had my wife go over and pick it up. Now I know the last name of my neighbor lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Here is my two cents on the SDCC 12" SW line. I got Bespin Luke and Bespin Han, practically for free. They are decent figures and reasonably prices, but I'm just not into the rebel guys anyway. I also have SSC Darth Vader, 2 Stormtroopers, 2 of the 3 Sandtroopers, Shock Trooper, Utapau Trooper, AOTC Clone, Darth Maul, & 3 clones on order (501st Trooper, Coruscant Trooper, & AOTC Clone LT). I really love them all. I've made tweaks here and there and I did need to tighten one body, but otherwise I am very hapy with them and think they are reasonably priced. Vader is the best 12" figure SSC has done, IMHO. My son has Kit Fisto and he is a very well made figure and not bad for a representation of a guy with a huge head and tentacle thingys.

Shanester Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I got my SDCC Clone LT last night. He looks great and poses well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm at home and have my hot toys T-800, SDCC exclusive Anakin, and ROTS Kenobi waiting for me. Can't wait to open these up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsomedevil Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I got my Guardian yesterday. Still haven't opened the shipping box! haha Maybe tonight after the kids go to bed. I still haven't decided if I will open this package. It could very well be my most valuable toy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Let the Predator free! It ain't worth a damn thing if you leave him sealed up in the box. I can sell you a nicer box for less than what you paid Got this guy a few weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to share pics until now. If you guys saw the factory version, you know how much of an improvement this is. Now I'm actually proud to display Indy with my Hot Toys figures. Here is my new living room display (in my new house ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Indy looks great! I agree with k80, HD. You need to set that guy free! How's he going to "guard" anything while he's locked up in that box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 That RAH Fett looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm holding off for the Sideshow version. I haven't had good experiences with Medicom's RAH line, and unless they are the only option around, I don't want any of their figures on my display.

I haven't had good experiences with Medicom's RAH line, and unless they are the only option around, I don't want any of their figures on my display. Same here. There was a time I thought Medi was going to be the only option, but now that SSC is going 1/6th crazy, I'll wait. SSC knows 1/6th Boba is hugely anticipated by the fans. Medicom makes some decent stuff, but I don't like their idea of 1/6th scale. Too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Scale and quality are both concerns of mine. If they were pumping out high quality figures with durable joints, etc., then I wouldn't be so against them despite the scale issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Nice display! What is(are) the difference(s) with your Indy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Thanks. I'll try to get a pic of the rest of my display later on. Re: Indy, the head is repainted. The factory job, well, it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
