Sideshow The Dude 1/6 Scale Figure - The Big Lebowski

The Clown Prince of Crime said:

I'll never forgive Sideshow for what they did to Beetlejuice. Some people here bought it tho. They gave their money away like to SSC. You know who you are!!!

Snake Plissken was another casualty. God, I hate to think what SSC will do to Clint Eastwood. They deserved so much better. Meanwhile I have to watch HT crank out perfect meaningless bull**** charcters from Marvel and SW that no one will give a **** about a year from now.

This!

I don't get how they still got that so so wrong.

This may very well be my first Sideshow figure with a human head sculpt. Doesn’t look perfect and I have some nitpicks, but I think it’s pretty good overall. If only we could get Walter too.

One thing regarding the accessories- I’m not sure why they feel the need to include four different White Russian glasses.

I saw Doggie Doc post on Instagram his work on accessories for Donnie and Walter I think, so some custom run must be going.

That would be cool to get Walter and Donny as customs. Maybe someone will do clothing sets for The Dude as well.

The rug, Larry's homework, the toe, the Autobauhn album, a Walkman and headphones, his robe ... there were many, great accessories they could have included. Still a little surprised the rug didn't make the cut. Ah well, I can probably put together these on my own before release next year.

If I was a fan of this license (I've never seen the movie) I would probably pick this up. Aside from customs I don't recall a mass produced figure (1/6) ever being made. Which indicates there is little hope of other companies picking this license up. We all have our love/hate relationship with Sideshow. I agree with those who want to speak with their wallets. I've done that plenty of times over the years.
Just as a collector I see potential in this figure. I don't know how many collectors want to spend $250+ on a figure with potential. I get that. Again, I don't care about this license so spending $250+ does not sound responsible to me.
Right now I'm racking my brain out deciding which Plissken and Beetlejuice 1/6 figure I should spend my money on.

Find a stranger in the alps?

I've always wanted them to release the edited for tv version on blu ray. Its even funnier.

I ordered one I’d like to have a different dude in the back I built this custom years ago

Rainman made a good Dude.

Yes he he did I missed out when it released but managed to get the RM head and shoes, the rest was gee whiz clothes, small studios paint, doggie doc, and two others customizers I can’t remember the names on a banner body

That's the outfit SS should have given the official figure. All that purple makes the figure pop more.

I agree, that's the better outfit.

What's wrong with a new and different outfit? I'm glad to have a different option.

Had a $25 coupon so went ahead and locked in my Dude. Excited for this one.

Nothing.

Already got a spot ready

Here's your reminder not to buy Sideshow's products. They are a horrible company.

They basically issued a copyright strike to an overseas retailer because they re-sold Hot Toys figures.
