What have you ordered lately from Sideshow? I stick only to the SSC 12" figures. The Premium Formats, Medicom RAHs, and Polystone Statues are dynamite, but I just can't swing the cost these days. As it is, the 12" are almost killing me! I've got Han Solo, ANH Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan in Clone Armor, Indiana Jones, and Aayla Secura on Preorder already, and I'm sure to preorder Darth Vader and Snake Eyes that are soon to be released, not to mention the rest of this year's offerings!
-
I haven't went down this dark road yet. Good lord help me if they make an ATAT driver. >:D
-
Just ordered my Darth Vader 12" figure! I'll be ordering the Stormtrooper later today as well! As of right now, here are the items I have on preorder...
Obi Wan Kenobi in Clone Armor
Indiana Jones-Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ki-Adi Mundi
Snake Eyes
Darth Vader
-
Pat, you have spent a little bit of coin the past few weeks too aint you? >:D
-
As far as my wife knows, NO! LOL! But yeah, besides my Midnight Madness spendings, add another $340 or so for 3 Sideshow's and 3 GG busts...Oops!
-
Ordered the Vader and Stormtrooper exclusives
-
Very cool! I can't wait to get mine!
-
Maybe a few of you guys do have me beat on SW spending this month.
-
do these count toward sw spending this month? technically u dont pay for them til they ship and that wont be for about 6 months. i did get the anh luke and han and the sdcc aayla secura in june/july

Absoulutely not, it counts when its charged on the card.

LOL. I stand corrected then.

Okay, so about a week or so ago, I got my book from Sideshow, "The Force Unleashed," featuring art and renderings from the game creation. Sideshow was nice enough to pack in a gift card with it, and it was good for $50!!! So, I jumped on their site to see what was available to use with the gift card, and was able to pick up the Bespin Luke Skywalker 12" for only $4.99 with $8.00 S&H! $12.99 wasn't bad, and it arrived today. I'm a lot happier with this one than I thought I'd be. A pretty good likeness of ol' Mark Hammil. I got another gift card with the Luke, but it was only good for $10.
Also just got an email that they are going to begin processing for the Obi-Wan Kenobi in Clone Armor.
-
Man, why can't I find some Star Wars gift certificates like that. Good score Pat.
-
I have a few 1/6 Sideshow and RAH figures in my collection, mostly Imperials, as well as the 1/4 Premium Format Vader (and a complete Kotobukiya Imperials statues collection). As for pre-orders I have the Diplomatic Mission diorama, 1/6 Darth Vader exclusive and Stormtroopers (1 exclusive and 1 regular), & RAH Royal Guard.
Non-Star Wars I have on pre-order: Hot Toys Appleseed Tereus, Hot Toys She-Predator Machiko and RAH Ghost in the Shell Motoko Kusanagi. Plus a few cheaper anime figures (Shirow Masamune stuff as always)
-
hey JK, put up a pic of that female predator. What does a female predator look like?
-
If I'm not mistaken, it's the woman at the end of Alien Vs. Predator who helped the Predator kill the Alien Queen, the one who was scarred with the battle mark. She's displayed with the alien head-shield and tail-pike I believe.

I was hoping this was a female predator. I know the gal you are talking about now.

Wow, she looks awesome. What storyline does this come from? I have a book type comic where a gal and a predator hunt aliens on a colony world. This isn't supposedly the same gal from the first predator vs. aliens movie is it? I would love to read the story line for her and how she got this armor!
-
I think she is from the EU Predator, some say she is from AVP. not sure but i really like her, somehow she resembles Angelina Jolie. I'm not a big fan of Angelina but my girlfriend is so this is a good sign ;D

I don't want to jack this thread, but man I am gonna have to get a hold of those comics to see how she gets her armor and weapons. She relates back to the first AVP comic type book I have that I know I got years ago. At the end of that book she was given the scar, but there was no mention of any armor or alien type mask given to her. I sure hope they continue her storyline with future Alien vs. Predator movies. Ok, back to what you guys have ordered from SS now!
-
Just preordered the 212th Utapau Clone, which is now available! Check out our thread about that particular figure, and click on the banner inside to order!

From what I know she isn't really from any comic or AVP movie. She is a combination of all of them. But the figure rocks indeed.
-
that clone really rocks, I am just gonna keep my Hoth battle focus though. Damn the torpedoes!
-
i got in the anakin skywalker pf exclusive today.
-
show us some pics please :)
-
Yeah, I can't wait to see this one. Production shots are one thing, but in hand can be a completely different thing! I was very close to ordering this one myself!
-
here u go. one thing i never realized til i got it, the light saber blade lights up. couldnt get a good pic tho.

-
the statue looks great!
-
That does look nice, DC! I also did not know that his saber lit up.
-
I think all of the PF statues with lightsabers light up, which is a slick move to be sure. I was really close to ordering this one Caedus, and I'm starting to regret it...
-
I think there are a few statues with no light-up sabers like Asajj.
-
I picked up my first Sideshow figure for myself today. I got a good deal on a Leia as Boushh. I was neevr a fan of the "premium" lines but the more I look, the more I like. I have always liked this character from back in the day and even have a vinty prototype of this figure so this one was a nice addition to a little mini run of the Leia/Boushh charater. Here are some boxed pics, I will open it up and snap a few more maybe over the weekend.
-
Nice one Wayne! I'll look forward to the open pics.
-
You're gonna be hooked now Wayne! I love these! I don't have this one in particular, but if I came across one at an unbeatable price, she'd probably come home with me!
-
Congrats on Boushh Leia, one of the best 1/6 figures.
I got the SS 1:1 Endoskull bust:

Now that is cool,

Those light up eyes are killer!

Those light up eyes are killer!
And they fade out (when turned off) like the eyes of the Terminator that was crushed in the factory in T1.

I had preordered, cancelled, and got on the waitlist for the Stormtrooper Commander. My waitlist was converted the next day! I got it today, pics and video coming tonight or tomorrow.
-
Pat, where are you hiding that money tree this month? Can I have a branch or two? You are racking up some great stuff in the past few weeks.
-

-
Keep us up to date on that custom keeli, jay.
I just got another shipment of used sideshow figures from pat including an obi wan in clone armor.
I was thinking if I could find a spare clone body that it would be cool to cobble together a phase one gree clone wars style.
-
i have somehow won2 ROTS Ani's 1 loose and a little tatty (bought new clobber for him )but apart from that he is completely mint and complete ,and a long shot bid came in on 1 MIB one it for only £26! awesome!
and Keeli is coming along slowly but surely so far have 1xPrometheus 1.1 body ,1x Fabric bodysuit,1x set of hands,1 set of action feet, 1x Rex helmet just gotta pick up some armour now...
-
Jay, it sounds like you are making the deals.
I am beginning to think Hasbro is on its way out with you. :D
-
Shawn as far as i am concerned Hasbro is a dead duck ,
Keeli is coming along just have got to paint the helmet ,and pick up forearm,chest and legs armour and then a kama (from god knows where i have never seen one for sale anywhere!) and a belt he has both sets of feet and a complete set of hands bicep and elbow armour and a pauldron,all painted. (i actually have some leftover) (am gonna have to try to find a cheap clone to butcher)

Jay that looks freaking fantastic bud. I so want to do an SSC Customizing episode for CAFN. It has been too long since we had our favorite Brit on anyhow. I hear you on the Hasbro thing.
-
Ordered the 1:6 Clone Captain from an Amazon seller. Will be my first Sideshow figure, can't wait to get it!
Will get the Battle Droid 2 Pack next month if it's still in stock.
-
Another Sideshow convert. You get one of these in your hand Rune you may just give up Hasbro. ;D
-
I'm about ready to now. lol :)
