Looks like someone has put their foot down. It's virtually disappeared...

hahah I'm so nervous and I wanted to use my points via Sideshow but I'm confident that Spec will get these in.

SSC had it for a while at least - I got mine through them.
Looks exactly as he does in the pics to me. Which in my case is not a good thing.

I caved in and ordered from Spec too. If I end up with a couple of them so be it. I'm not missing this, I just don't care for the other two choices. I don't think I will have trouble unloading in the future, especially if this stays a relatively limited exclusive.

Besides, as Thanos and some of the Court of the Dead pieces show, and others - Sideshow can do stellar work when the want to. If they had done a Mythos Mando - maybe that classic shot of Mando reaching into the cradle, or something dramatic with switchouts like the Obiwan or Boba Mythos, I'd be all over it. Look at the Asaj piece.
To me both the Cara, Moff, and Mando pieces look like they were churned out fast; not a lot of thought or details - or care about the portraits either.

Yeah, well, I bit the bullet and PO'd from Popcultcha. Costing me for shipping, but I've had good luck with Popcultcha in the past (a perfect CW Falcon for one thing) and figure they get stuff in, if anyone does.
Just didn't wanna sign up with another vendor that I don't usually use...but thanks a lot, SSC!
The funny part is Popcultcha is offering the Sideshow piece too.Wanted to use RPs; + am paying a premium (of sorts). But this piece IMO is pretty well iconic/classic for the character. Luv it. So didn't want to take the chance of not getting it; IS never has huge production runs of 1/4. Then the aftermarket cost is insane.

Yeah, the shame is that if Sideshow had stuck to their model of mixed media premium format figures, they would have a much more viable product to compete against Iron Studios fully sculpted statue.

Well, this isn't good.
I'll have to consider the Hot Toys version now.
If Sideshow's 1/4 offering is the only choice left, I guess I'm not displaying a 1/4 Mando.

Can still order from Specfic or Popcultcha if you want it badly enough.

Pure guess but based on some IS vid that I can't find - the artists were talking - it looked like someone was working on an IG design. Maybe IS is gonna put out more Mando stuff and who sells and ships merchandise is gonna get divided up.
I can see where Sideshow didn't want the competition
But still think it's a stupid decision.

If Sideshow made a competitive product they wouldn't have to pull **** like this.
You know they saw the IS statue, realized it is better and threw a fit to protect their inferior work.
