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

Oddly enough, Pom Klementieff posted a quick unboxing of this on her Instagram stories. Wonder if she collects, is just a big fan of the movie and/or happened to just get it for free from SS?

Looks okay for a $140 third party release. Head looks a little "2008" for my tastes. The clothing looks okay in that short video, but the feet joints are a bit prominent, although i expect you can pull the pants down to hide them.
I honestly don't know how SS can charge what they charge for this low level of quality.

Super soft looking but then I'll wait for an unboxing/review before I pay mine off or cancel depending.

Yeah paint doesn't look good, at least the sculpt behind it seems decent and didn't get too exaggerated or something.

Need better pics but if that's really how it looks it's Star Ace level and doesn't bode well for figures I'm interested in like Blondie and Crow.

I truly hope that is not the figure I pre-ordered.

While it does look washed out in her story video, gotta remember that it’s Instagram and I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a filter on while filming it. Not trying to give SS a pass, but I’m holding judgment until we see a proper video review. I just thought it was cool to see the box art and what not.

Agreed. It may be crap, but that picture won't accurately show it.

That forehead!

Can’t unsee that now. Looks like a forehead plate.

I dunno to me that screenshot doesn’t look like it’s using much of a filter if its using one at all. Seems pretty natural. Not great, but pretty much in line with what I would expect from Sideshow. Curious to see an actual review video.

Not to be a snark, but you're not supposed to be able to see it's a filter, that's why people use them. It's a screencap from a female celebrity/movie star's Instagram, I can guarantee a filter is being used. Probably one that's going to smooth skin texture.

I mean it very well could be, but I think if it is it’s not heavy.

Oh lmao there's nothing to defend here, that's about par for the course with SS, filter or not.

Exactly. We all know what to expect from Sideshow. It’s pretty much always subpar quality, especially when they’re trying to go for a realistic sculpt.

Is that it? Really?

The joint exclusive is the funniest thing to me.

Pretty sure they are doing an unboxing of him tomorrow as sideshow posted a Mystery Unboxing for 7/6/22 so we'll see if it is.

The 6/9 unsealed is exo-6 Michael Burnham.

I yet again have a $20 coupon and am kind of thinking of putting it towards this despite my better judgment. I mean aside from a custom I’m not sure when I’ll get a chance to buy a figure of The Dude.
