12 days of Sideshow

[LoveMinusZero]

I'd be interested in the concept Boba Fett if it was actually the one concept Bobas. The figure they're releasing is just a white Boba Fett. If they actually did a figure where the armor what changed and based off the concept drawings, I might have bought one.

It's not a concept Boba Fett. It's a prototype/screen test Boba Fett.

I understand, but people had mentioned the McQuarrie stuff. I'm saying I'd buy the figure if t was an actual concept design, but as it is, it's just a white Boba Fett.

I somewhat like the White Fett since it actually existed in a screen test.

Most sites do that in their contests...im sure you will see it open tomorrow.

Contests are kinda lame. I want more previews!

I agree, contests should be going on during the 12 days, not as one of the features for the day. Kind of a waste. Get some preorders or previews coming out.

 

[Collectorcol]

No pre-orders during 12 days.

Seriously, SS? Releasing 12" figures of prototype designs is one of Sideshow's worst decisions ever (which takes some real effort).

While I respect McQuarrie and the other designers' visions, and realise that art goes through stages, there is a reason the finished design looks different: because it was noticeably better than the concept.

This may be the first Star Wars figure that gets cancelled after soliciting preorders. I find it hard to believe this can generate enough interest to break even.

 

[DarthTrafford]

The Star Wars concept art figures are an easy pass.
They should concentrate on producing actual figures from the movies and EU.
Finish the Bounty Hunters already!

You must the MOST important part of the announcement.
It's STAR WARS
Which means it's gonna sell no matter what.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I can't believe folks want to buy that halfassed licorice pants Vayda, but poohpoo the McQuarrie designs as potential figure ideas..

 

[joda76]

Seems most of the mcq gentle giant stuff didn't do great if I'm not mistaken.

EU figures are the easiest pass of all. I'd take a concept figure over that stuff any day.

 

[Tee-Kay]

When it comes to Star Wars, there's enough interest to sell characters from any kind of source. Yet, i'd really appreciate it if Sideshow were to concentrate more on finishing sublines such as rebel soldiers, Bounty hunters or imperial troops instead of giving us figures from multiple material here and there.
As great as Mc Quarrie concept are, we'll most certainly get to see yet another Vader, Fett and Stormtrooper first and it could take (at least) a couple year for those three to land on our shelves. Seeing how Sideshow is handling this scale, gathering a significant set of 7 or 8 concept figures would clearly take us way beyond 2020.

 

[LoveMinusZero]

I agree, I'd rather just have them finish out the things they've already started. I was just saying concept figures would be more interested than lame prototypes and EU characters if they went that way. I don't even get why this prototype Boba became popular.

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

with the way prices have jacked up so much lately, Im probably going to have to stick with OT characters from here on out.

Still hoping for more female figures soon.

 

[devilof76]

I'm no more annoyed with a McQuarrie statue line than I am a Mythos line. I don't want statues. One is as useless to me as another.

As for figures, the only McQuarrie character I'd even consider is Vader.

I can fully understand how fans of his art would be all over this, whichever way it goes.

Agreed. I am only getting figures I really really want. And that's mainly ot.
