SDCC's 5 12 inchers

[Khev]

Which five do you hope will be revealed?

We already know one is a Scum & Villainy character but the other four could be anything (other than military I'm assuming).

I'm hoping for:

1. Bespin Luke

2. Hoth Leia

3. Padme

4. Jabba (hey they opened the door with their S&V preview page)

5. ROTS Palpatine/Sidious

[abstractharmony]

If it's only five then I'm gonna plump for :-

1. Palpatine (ROTJ)
2. Lando (General)
3. Ki-Adi Mundi
4. Greedo
5. Jabba the Hutt


If we were to get another Luke so soon then for me Bespin is the way to go.

[hairlesswookiee]

1. ROTS Palpatine
2. Snowbunny Padme--- hello!! remeber that poll we had years ago??
3. Dooku
4. Lando
5. either Plo Koon, Ki Adi Mundi, or Shaak Ti -- give me another crazy Jedi alien!!!


~~~sorry, but im all luked out. we've already got 3 versions of him now so i want some new characters before we get into his 4th version. im certain they'll get to him before too long.

[Darth Madden]

Did they say they were announcing 5 12" figures? I can't see that they would give us that many at once... I heard there would be 2.

[tomandshell]

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000009POI.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

No, wait... That's six. Sorry.


And we don't know for a fact that every one of those five question marks is a Star Wars 12" figure. I remember some tantalizing question marks at Toy Fair that turned out to be a couple of vinyl deformed figures that caught everyone off guard. So don't assume we are definitely getting five new Star Wars figures at once.

But the newsletter did make reference to new Star Wars announcements--plural. There will be more than one.

[pixletwin]

1. ROTJ Emperor
2. Bespin Leia
3. Greedo
4. ROTS Yoda
5. Snow Bunny Padme

[dunedain]

I'm hoping for the following 5.

Palpatine
Chewie (why the hell not he is a hero of the rebellion)
Jabba the Hutt
Jango Fett
Leia ESB?Hoth outfit to pose with han solo

[darthviper107]

In the newsletter it seemed like there would be preorders during SDCC, do you think that means that the new SW 12" figures will go on preorder during that time?

I hope not, I've only got enough money for one right now and if there's a bunch that I would want to buy then I'll kill myself...

Anyway---Hoping for an ROTS Sidious, I'd really like a Tarkin but I don't think that's coming any time soon. Probably Greedo then for S&V.

[Zakk Attakk]

According to www.starwars.com there will be only 2 new 12 inchers.






But I wouldn't mind 5!

[tomandshell]

You don't need to have enough money right now, but you will need enough money in six months or so.

Not sure about the first set of spaces but the second and third spell


Lando Calrissian

oops, didn't see those "e" s, wishful thinking.

[tomandshell]

"Tricks senate electorates."

Sounds like Palpatine!

[Darklord Dave]

Not sure about the first set of spaces but the second and third spell


Lando Calrissian

If you ignore the "e"s than it does. I don't think they're Medicom SD figures because they're over on another podium.

But perhaps they aren't all figures...remember Maul's droids?

[tomandshell]

Second word could be EMPIRE.
Third word could be EVISCERATED. (Or EASTERBUNNY.)

[pixletwin]

I thought maybe it is a line of dialogue that the mystery figure speaks in the movies... just a thought

[darthviper107]

That's confusing, are they just three separate words? It's going to be impossible to figure out:monkey2

[Buttmunch]

Remember when they did Bormir's word jumble (which I cracked by the way) it was three words and was "Son of Denethor." I looked at the Star Wars Database and there was no character name that could fit. So we are looking for a line describing someone or a quote about them or from them? :confused:

[Sith Lord 0498]

That clue is way too vague to do anything with. I'll just wait patiently and see what SDCC yields. It won't be too long now.

Personally, I'm hoping for these announcements/pre-orders:

1) Darth Sidious w/ ROTS Mace Duel robes and alternate head

2) Princess Leia w/ Bespin Gown

3) Darth Tyranus (AOTC version...like there's really any difference anyway...)

4) Jabba the Hutt (yeah...wishful thinking I know...or is it?? You never know with Sideshow!!!)

5) Yoda (ROTS)

Dusty said her clue describes the alien species, not is name. Things like green, slimey, etc. would be more likely than Wampa, Hutt, Ithorian, etc.

As fun as a root canal ;) So it the NAME of the species and not words DESCRIBING the species (which is kinda how I read it anyhoo)... I am going go out on a limb here and guess its 12" from the S&V line... Any species in the cantina have a W and a Z?

Does anyone have a list of the species in the cantina scene? Or possibly from Jabba's palace, or a bounty hunter or.......zzzzzzzzzzzt SNAP!

I just looked at StarWars.com's Databank. There are only a few species that have a Z in the name and none of them are three words or something that looks remotely familiar to a film watcher like me. Mostly EU creatures with the Z's in the names.:confused:

WELL DONE!

So Salacious Crumb may just be the Expansion Pack for 1/6th JABBA.

I can't believe it. Obviously, Salacious isn't big enough to be by himself. But I never thought SS would even consider doing Jabba. Is it truly possible?

_ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ e . e _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Jabbas . Palace . Entertainer

Holy ^^^^^, are we getting Salacious Crumb?

[Buttmunch]

She said it would be the 12" figure. Crumb really isn't a 12" figure and neither is Jabba. Perhaps (obviously), Crumb will come with another figure. Perhaps Bib Fortuna or even Slave Leia? I'd rather have Bib than Leia though.

[Amanaman]

I guessed it on my own, too. So, will it be an articulated figure, or an accessory?

[Wor-Gar]

I guessed it on my own, too. So, will it be an articulated figure, or an accessory?


I'm guessing its the Expansion Pack for....JABBA?!

[Amanaman]

Well, Jabba was puppeteered by four men.. so that's four sideshow bodies in that thing!

[Buttmunch]

I still think Bib Fortuna is more likely than Jabba, but who really knows at this point? I'm scared! How much is Jabba goina cost? :o

[Sith Lord 0498]

She said it would be the 12" figure. Crumb really isn't a 12" figure and neither is Jabba. Perhaps (obviously), Crumb will come with another figure. Perhaps Bib Fortuna or even Slave Leia? I'd rather have Bib than Leia though.

But keep in mind that Kit Fisto's box reflects the changeover from 12 inch to 1:6 scale. Technically, Crumb would be possible because it would be 1:6 scale.

I've heard rumors floating around various sites that Jabba was in the works for the 1:6 line. Crumb may be the exclusive/inclusive edition accessory or part of an expansion pack.

Bottom line is that Crumb's species is three words and fits the letters given. The Z was a HUGE help.

I'll admit...I saw Z and immediately though "Yuuzhan Vong...yeah!!"

[tomandshell]

KOWAKIAN MONKEY-LIZARD

Nice job!!!

[Amanaman]

It's true, Sideshow has been adapting fast to accomodate SW. Innovative boxes, inclusive editions, "1:6" instead of 12", and so on. I wouldn't be surprised if they ship Salacious individually as an non-standard action figure. This will be the true test of the depth of their commitment to the SW license.

I agree with you completely!!

That's why a 1/6 scale Jabba would not surprise me at all. Granted, it'd probably be $125-150, but people will pay it. I'm not sure I will since I don't like Jabba THAT much. But if it's a mindblowing sculpt and the price is closer to $125, I just might do it. :)

[Buttmunch]

Crumb is way to small to be released on his own. I'd be HIGHLY surprised if they did. I'd also be HIGHLY surpirsed if Jabba is coming so soon. I bet Crumb will come with Bib or Leia and then possibly come with Leia or Bib or Jabba in an alternate pose (ie would be a solid piece). :confused:

[TOE]

so we get out first creature in the line !!!!

[Sith Lord 0498]

Even if they announce Jabba at SDCC, it doesn't mean he's coming in the immediate future. He could be on-track for mid-2007 and still be announced (perhaps in a work-in-progress form).

[Wor-Gar]

Salacious Crumb would only fit with Jabba (or maybe 3PO if he has a removable eye).

[Sith Lord 0498]

C'mon, Dusty. We know you're still on-line...

Are we right or not??!!??! :monkey5 :monkey5

[TOE]

Salacious Crumb would only fit with Jabba (or maybe 3PO if he has a removable eye).

i really hope not, or else it would be a doll version of GG statue. I really would like something different. Perhaps, laughing chip? :monkey1

[Amanaman]

I wonder, would uber-obscure characters like Wol Cabas****e and B'omarr Monk actually sell?

http://www.starwars.com/databank/species/wolcabas****e/

Bah, censors! replace **** with the s word.

[darthviper107]

That's interesting, but if it's just Salacious Crumb, then I doubt that I'd buy it---I would however buy it if it had something else interesting----you know it could go with Slave Leia---that would definately be something I would buy.

[Sith Lord 0498]

I wonder, would uber-obscure characters like Wol Cabas****e and B'omarr Monk actually sell?

I honestly doubt it. That would have to be one big secret underground cult following!! :)

[Wor-Gar]

If it is JABBA, and his price is relative to his size (meaning HT price of $129) then a large EXCLUSIVE like Salacious would make sense.

[TOE]

it could be Bib and expansion pack is Salacious. :chew

[JustinLuck]

First of all, why would Salacious Crumb be too small to release on his own? We are talking about 1/6 figures here. Figures that adhere to the 1/6 scale. Whoever said anything about 12"? That is just a made up term because most 1/6 human figures are close to 12" tall. AFAIK, Sideshow figures have always been in accordance to the 1/6 scale. So was Hasbro's line.

If anything Salacious Crumb may or may not sell well by himself, based on popularity. But it should have nothing to do with size. Are you saying Yoda can't be sold alone? Size also has nothing to do with the costs involved in making a figure. Infact, small alien figures require their own customized articulated bodies, so they are most likely more expensive to make than their regular human couterparts.

[Wor-Gar]

it could be Bib and expansion pack is Salacious. :chew


I don't think BIB justifies an Inclusive edition. He's no Maul or Fett. Plus, a Salacious Crumb would be quite a large piece for an exclusive.

Makes more sense with Jabba given the size and price of that piece. But I'm still having trouble imagining a 1/6th scale Jabba by Sideshow...and I have the Illusive Concept piece. Its huge.

[JustinLuck]

If it is JABBA, and his price is relative to his size (meaning HT price of $129) then a large EXCLUSIVE like Salacious would make sense.

I'm sure he will cost much more than that if he is properly articulated.

[pixletwin]

Sith Lord 0498 you brain is indeed a wonder to behold. I am sure you are right! But why coudn't it be Bib? I think he is actually quite popular... When I was 9 Bib Fortuna was my favorite Kenner figure!

[Wor-Gar]

I'm sure he will cost much more than that if he is properly articulated.


Quite possibly so. I was just assuming that SS might want to get into the price-point that HT is at seeing how well Aliens, Marines and Predators are selling.

[Sith Lord 0498]

I'm sure he will cost much more than that if he is properly articulated.

How much articulation could he have? He's a giant slug. No saber or blaster poses there!!! :)

And I agree with the argument using Yoda as an example. He certainly won't be 12 inches tall, but he's a sure bet for the line at some point. And he won't be sold as an accessory...that's for sure!!

I'm still placing my bets on a 1/6th Jabba the Hutt with Salacious Crumb as the exclusive/inclusive accessory and the expansion pack being his dais, railing, and bong bowl. Pricepoints: $140 for Jabba Exclusive/Inclusive and $40 for the expansion pack.

[Sith Lord 0498]

Sith Lord 0498 you brain is indeed a wonder to behold. I am sure you are right! But why coudn't it be Bib? I think he is actually quite popular... When I was 9 Bib Fortuna was my favorite Kenner figure!

Well...thank you...I think... :monkey3

I'm sure Bib will be made at some point in the future. But I don't think it will be now and Salacious makes more sense with Jabba rather than Bib.

[TOE]

i got it!!! Slave Leia with Excl. Monkey.

...if not, man, i really hope that Snow Bunny Padme will be at the con. :monkey2

[Buttmunch]

Crumb is TINY, skinney, and naked. Yoda is larger, thicker, and clothed. Yoda needs artciulation and accessories. Crumb was nothing more than an accessory in the movie. If a Bib, Jabba, and Leia, or C-3PO all come with a non-articulated or semi-articulated (ie like a NECA or McFarlane "figure") then we'd have Crumb in just about every pose he would need to be in.

I just really don't see Crumb selling on his own. Yoda, deffinataly because he is much more popular and known. Hmmmmm...

[EVILFACE]

How much articulation could he have? He's a giant slug. No saber or blaster poses there!!! :)

And I agree with the argument using Yoda as an example. He certainly won't be 12 inches tall, but he's a sure bet for the line at some point. And he won't be sold as an accessory...that's for sure!!

fully articulated arms, writs, neck, jaw, couple tail joints. They could use a rubber skin like on the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

[pixletwin]

I just really don't see Crumb selling on his own. Yoda, deffinataly because he is much more popular and known. Hmmmmm...
Good point. I also think if I worked at Sideshow and was going to give away an awesome clue about SDCC figures (JABBA!!!!!) my give-away clue would be the exclusive/inclusive... Jabba is definately a popular enough character for the inclusive line and a great way to kick off Scum and Villainy since he is the epitome of that line!

[Amanaman]

Any new molds add greatly to the cost, and articulation adds some more. The standard Sideshow body has paid itself off long ago, as it has been used so many times. Salacious is most likely an accessory, since the character can't be all that popular to justify the cost of adding in articulation. Maybe he'll be included with me. ;)

[Seaward]

Sith Lord, I love the idea of a Jabba figure with the dias/bong and Crumb being the inclusive accessory pack!

I don't think Jabba would require all that much articulation, though, so he could be a mostly sculpted piece. Maybe articulated arms, and the world's largest ball jointed neck!

I agree that we're looking at a Jabba figure with optional Salacious/Hookah Pipe expansion pack. Much cooler stuff than I ever would have imagined as possible this early in the line!

[JustinLuck]

fully articulated arms, writs, neck, jaw, couple tail joints. They could use a rubber skin like on the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Exactly. You guys need think a little more ambitiously. Where's the innovation!?:D Because of his size, articulated eye joints with eyelids would be very cool!

You're either very impressed....or we all look like fools.

Nah...nothing can make us look like fools more than Priority Pre-Order days... :lol :lol

Although, Dusty...care to give us another word jumble?? :D

[Buttmunch]

Dusty, its best not to tease and make collectors mad. Remember you aren't safe this time. Some of us will be there at Comic Con. :lol

I have no idead who, or what, or anything what is being made now. What happened to just Greedo and Palpatine? :confused:

[Wor-Gar]

I'm going to be really depressed now if it isn't JABBA. :monkey2



Dusty, please if we're wrong at least tell us that.
(your silence will mean we are correct)

[JustinLuck]

I don't care who they release as long as they are done with justice.

Ooooh...sneaky, Wor-Gar. I like that. :monkey3

[Amanaman]

Silence implied consent, so it's official. Jabba it is.

:lol:rotfl:lol:rotfl:lol

[Wor-Gar]

Dusty's light is still on but she may be away from her desk. Maybe reporting that Sith Lord has broken the code.

Let's give her a little time. Say, another 30 seconds...GO!

[tomandshell]

Silence implied consent

Tell that to the judge...

:D

[darthviper107]

I say it's Slave Leia---that would make me really happy, and you have to admit that Crumb would go well with that figure.

[AmanaMatt]

Ok, if it really is Jabba I will be shocked. Hell, I'll take a 1:6 scale Amanaman too!

[JustinLuck]

I don't know about you guys, but as minor of a character as Crumb is, I would still like him posable.

[pjam]

Hmm, I seem to remember one member saying it would be Jabba following the NL announcement of the S & V line last week...

Gee, I wonder who that may have been... :monkey1

[tomandshell]

I would have bet a million bucks that it was going to be Greedo.

I didn't think they were ready to start experimenting with completely new body types yet. It will be nice if I am wrong!

[Wor-Gar]

Yep, all the indications were there that it would be Greedo. And since SS hasn't done a new female body or a "Hobbit" body, let alone anything like a big rubber puppet before, who would have thought that they were ready for Jabba.

Hopefully, Weds we'll know. Its gonna be a long 2 days.

[SideshowDusty]

I'm going to be really depressed now if it isn't JABBA. :monkey2

[pjam]

I didn't think they were ready to start experimenting with completely new body types yet. It will be nice if I am wrong!


and nice if I'm right! If it is Jabba, you just know it has been in development for over a year and I bet, I just bet someone @ LucasFilm workshop may have suggested it after seeing how successfully SSC did full rubber bodies for the Creature from Black Lagoon and metaluna Mutant... it is a major challenge. Then again I would be blown away because they had to develop a whole new body for this figure but...

if you're gonna do something this innovative, I cannot think of a better place to announce and display than at SDCC.

[MicroJow]

Well, I don't see anyone from Sideshow DISPUTING the "5 1/6 scale figures" comment... so who's to say there WON'T be a Greedo?

- J!

[tomandshell]

I like how you think!

In fact, StarWars.com tried to dispute it with their claim of only two figures, and Brant posted here telling us that was misleading. So maybe we will see Greedo after all, plus Palpatine, plus Jabba, plus Jabba's expansion pack, plus Princess Leia.

[Wor-Gar]

OMG... :google

[pjam]

Well, I don't see anyone from Sideshow DISPUTING the "5 1/6 scale figures" comment... so who's to say there WON'T be a Greedo?

- J!


Good point MJ...

I just thought we'd see a Jabba based on the hi-profile Jabba thumbnail, hints and the prominent image of him in the announcement page...

but we may be seeing more than one, absolutely, including Greedo and Leia as Tom says, nice way to build up the OT line... let's face it, we only have 2 12" OT figs so far.

[Wor-Gar]

This would be an insane line-up:

Jabba
Salacious Crumb (Expansion)
Hoth Leia
ROTS/ROTJ Emperor
Greedo

[pixletwin]

Ok. I am done looking at this thread... I will be going into seizures if I keep reading and the anticipation just builds.... (who am I kidding?).... :google

[pjam]

I really like the way you're thinking there, W-G!

[Darth Madden]

Well, I don't see anyone from Sideshow DISPUTING the "5 1/6 scale figures" comment... so who's to say there WON'T be a Greedo?

- J!

Crap, if there really are 5 I hope they keep them spaced out for ordering / delivery or it will be time for me to start selling my blood.

[darthviper107]

You know, when Brant said that the Two-figures thing on starwars.com was misleading, it could be partly true, it might be a Jabba figure and then a Crumb expansion pack, which would somewhat be like two figures but would actually be missleading if you said it was two figures----then again there are 5 empty spots and I can't think that they'd place something there that's not Star Wars, so everything's up in the air right now---and what abou the first hint anyway? The one with the blanks? That might be a hint that doesn't even apply to Crumb.

[Sith Lord 0498]

Dusty's light is still on but she may be away from her desk. Maybe reporting that Sith Lord has broken the code.

Let's give her a little time. Say, another 30 seconds...GO!

Yeah, it'll be a real "Mercury Rising" situation here soon!!!

Still, I must be on their sh** list already. First, my grainy camera phone pic of Darth Maul in the SW Insider that circulated on the Net like wildfire. Now the Salacious Crumb code break.

Heck, my Obi-Wan is probably going to fall to the "Tomandshell seven-state FedEx reroute" manuever next month!!! :lol :lol :lol

[Sith Lord 0498]

*snert* <---- neither silence, nor talking

Dang!!! She outsmarted us again!!!

Still, if this was totally bogus, there wouldn't be any harm in saying so. The fact that no one official is disputing this...well...

I have to say though that Sideshow is always full of surprises. :)

[tomandshell]

Heck, my Obi-Wan is probably going to fall to the "Tomandshell seven-state FedEx reroute" manuever next month!!! :lol :lol :lol

It's going to be the "Tomandshell Memorial Seven-State FedEx Route" if anything goes wrong with my Boba Fett shipment next year, because I'll have a heart attack and die from the stress.

[Amanaman]

Are we going to see any non-jedi/sith characters from the prequels besides Snowbunny Padme?

[Sith Lord 0498]

It's going to be the "Tomandshell Memorial Seven-State FedEx Route" if anything goes wrong with my Boba Fett shipment next year, because I'll have a heart attack and die from the stress.

After what you've put up with, they should let you go with them down to the docks and take your pick right off the boat!!! :lol

[tomandshell]

Of course!!

The line wouldn't be complete without Jira, the Mos Espa fruit stand vendor:

[Sith Lord 0498]

Or Governor Sio "Santa Claus" Bibble. :D

[tomandshell]

I have had good luck recently--Kit Fisto and Gray Hulk both shipped and arrived immediately. Strangely, the Green Hulk has still not been shipped.

But if you think you have seen me impatient, just you wait until Boba Fett ships...



Anyway, with all of the attention on the multiple 12" figures coming up this week, I think that the 1:1 scale Yoda bust is going to take a few people by surprise!

[Darth Loki]

Of course!!

I don't want to know how you know all the names of the most worthless SW characters in every movie. If we ever meet we gotta play SW Trivial Pursuit.

So when will we get to see the official announcements for all the new figs? Will it be Wednesday night, with that being preview night? Or do we have to wait until Thursday?

[The Josh]

This would be an insane line-up:

Jabba
Salacious Crumb (Expansion)
Hoth Leia
ROTS/ROTJ Emperor
Greedo

Not bad but I'd like to see
Jabba
Dooku
Jango Fett
ROTS/ROTJ Emperor
Greedo

[sebcanadaceo]

The only character I can remember with a "Z" in it's name is that bounty hunter from EP. II

What was her/it's name again... "Zam"?

[Agent0028]

Zam Wassel.

The only Z I could think of were Iridonian Zabraks.

[tomandshell]

I saw:

"Wizard, Ani!!!"

[captain sack]

as for how much a jabba figure may cost, i think sideshow's jaws statue may be a good indication.....$275:monkey2 it's about the right size.

A 12" JABBA, hmm, I would guess $65 and another $25 for crumb and if they did both I would buy both...

[tomandshell]

But Jabba won't be polystone, right? Plastic won't be that expensive.

[captain sack]

For a 12" JABBA?

the jaws statue is about the same size jabba would need to be. and they'd also need to do the throne and the food bowls, pillows, etc....

maybe they could make him rotocast and save money? :confused:

it could be sold as a high end statue in 1/6th scale so it could be used for the 12 inch line or a stand alone display piece.:confused:

[captain sack]

A 12" JABBA, hmm, I would guess $65 and another $25 for crumb and if they did both I would buy both...

i really doubt they could do jabba for $65.

sculpting that body, and the size required to make him 1/6th scale would be at least $150, and that's if he was plastic, not polystone. :confused:

[pjam]

But Jabba won't be polystone, right? Plastic won't be that expensive.

No, I really don't think so but you never know, developing a special one-off body for one figure with full rubber body may not be economically feasible. Jabba may not be rubber but he won't be polystone IMO, perhaps because he just mostly sits like a slug (I know) he may have some simpler base with articulating arms, tongue and eyes maybe.

I think back to how he was designed for the film and he was basically a puppet tent with two operators inside (arms and tail)...

[pixletwin]

...... developing a special one-off body for one figure with full rubber body may not be economically feasible...
What about Jaws? I could see Jabba's body being quite similar to the Jaws Sideshow made.

[darthviper107]

I think there were more than just two, they had several midgets inside.

[pjam]

i really doubt they could do jabba for $65.

sculpting that body, and the size required to make him 1/6th scale would be at least $150, and that's if he was plastic, not polystone. :confused:

No customizing clothes, that saves a bunch of production cost right there and if they came up with a way of covering a rubber suit over a simple egg-shaped design body, I don't know, I'm just saying the original puppet was fairly simple so maybe there is a way to do it at a decent price point...

[pjam]

I think there were more than just two, they had several midgets inside.

Several? I remember in the DVD seeing one cranking the tail and another doing the arms inside? May have been more but most of the puppeteers were outside the puppet as I remember. Point is, the actual design of the puppet body and tail was quite simple...

[tomandshell]

Maybe the 1/6 Jabba will have little 1/6 midgets inside, thus unveiling the new small body that will be used for hobbits and ewoks.

[Seaward]

The Jabba "tail-midget" is perhaps one of my favorite moments of the Star Wars making of film. I think he is one of the guys from Time Bandits, and he describes the motive behind the movements of Jabba's tail, talking of his moods, while saying "backwards and forwards" in the strangest British accent.

[Deak Starkiller]

Oh man and I thought I was the only one who laughed at that from SW to Jedi. Too funny, "backwords and forewords" as the little dude pronounced it.

[Batty]

I've been gone all day. Did I miss anything?




Midgets?

[Deak Starkiller]

Yeah, watch "From Star Wars to Jedi" making of a saga or something to that effect. There is a funny English midget talking about how he operates Jabba's tail and his mood.

[Buttmunch]

I just think it great the Rebelscum doesn't even have a clue what is coming :lol I would have thought they'd have a thread by now.

[galactiboy]

KOWAKIAN MONKEY-LIZARD

It's Salacious Crumb!!!!

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kowakian_monkey-lizard

Man, I love Wikipedia!!

Does that mean the rumors are true...1/6 scale Jabba the Hutt????!!!!

I just jumped into this thread, but Sith Lord, you must have the sinlge-biggest brain the Universe! That is some amazing de-jumbleing!!! But would Sideshow really be releasing a 1/6 Jabba? It would be cool, but I will be uber-depressed if it costs hundreds of dollars... but on the plus side with pre-orders I have enough time to sell-off organs to afford it :monkey4

I just think it great the Rebelscum doesn't even have a clue what is coming :lol I would have thought they'd have a thread by now.


It was posted over there, but its been pretty dead, I don't think anyone even noticed it... I did, but then I headed over here to see what was really up!

[Batty]

Sorry. That's just me trying to be funny. :monkey1

[Zakk Attakk]

They have a clue now, thanks to me.

Oh, and screw wikipedia. Use the Star Wars wikicity, Wookiepedia.

[JustinLuck]

If he is done right, I can't imagine him costing less than $300. I hope I am wrong though. But basically, Jabba is the size of a PF. And we all know how much PFs go for. I also only want Jabba if he is articulated at his tail, torso, arms, wrists, mouth, and eyes. Don't you guys want to be able to close his eyelids to reenact the Han and Leia reuniting scene? Also, because his eyes would be so large, it would be nice if we could move them from side to side.

All great points JL, I guess if we're gonna get one we want all of that, question is how to do that for a decent price point. SSC is famous for pulling off stuff like this, at least some of their monsters were unique and groundbreaking in design and application.

I'm wondering if SSC maybe got together with the LucasFilms prop/creature shop to figure out a simple way to make this work...

[Wor-Gar]

Where is everyone? Busy with the new announcements, obviously.

Help! Sith_Lord! Where's our puzzle-solvers?

The last word could be "emperorness"... but I doubt it. :D

Ok, OK, the second word must be THRONE.

So it must have something to do with either Palpatine or Jabba.

I feel a solve coming on...:o

[darthviper107]

The only thing I can come up with in wookiepedia is Emperor's Throne Room, which doesn't fit.

[Amanaman]

That's what I was going to say! *Punches Wor-Gar in the gut.*:mad:

Maybe it's Boushh (SP?)...

[King Darkness]

Jabba's Throne Environment!!!


You are probably right with Dustys clue and this it all makes so much sence...You are so smart Tom...Your my hero...

[tomandshell]

Looks like a lot of us started thinking all at the same time!

So we have Jabba's throne with a nice Salacious Crumb as the inclusive bonus item?

[DannieDarKo]

Indeed! Were smart freaks! :rock

[Wor-Gar]

Yep! I can't believe it -- Jabba, Salacious, and the entire throne!

This is insane :maul

[Amanaman]

But what does it mean? Jabba's personal space, or the entire court of muppety aliens like myself?

[RoboDad]

Whatever it is, it will be huge, and (gulp) expensive!

[darthviper107]

I don't know, Jabbas Throne Environment seems somewhat wrong, Jabbas Throne seems right but I'm not to sure about Environment.

If it's anything like a playset, it should feature everything to the trap door that goes into the rancor pit.

[Darklord Dave]

"Environment" implies that there is a figure to go in it. Nes pas?

[darthviper107]

Well, there's another thing, what Brant has given us is a hint--not the name of a new release, so it's entirely possible that they are just going to release several figures from the Jabba's Throne Room Environment, so Jabba, Salacious Crumb, maybe Bib Fortuna, or Slave Leia. That could be why the Jedi Luke figure is there also, because he would fit into that setting, or perhaps they are also going to release an ROTJ Emperor which would fit the setting also (ROTJ that is) so it might not actually be a playset type thing at all.

Well, there's another thing, what Brant has given us is a hint--not the name of a new release, so it's entirely possible that they are just going to release several figures from the Jabba's Throne Room Environment, so Jabba, Salacious Crumb, maybe Bib Fortuna, or Slave Leia.

hmmmmm...that makes a lot of sence too....I'am so confused.

[tomandshell]

Luke and his rancor bone are going to display nicely with Jabba, Salacious, and the rest.

You'd think they planned it this way...

Bring on the 1/6 scale Rancor!!!

[Batty]

Maybe I missed it, but what happened to Dusty's jumble about the clue being a species? Was Salacious Crumb the answer to that? Is Brant's jumble a different puzzle? I have so many questions! :confused:

Salacious Crumb was the answer, so we do have high expectations that Crumb will either be a release on his own, or an exclusive to another release. Brant's 'blank spaces' puzzle wasn't directly reffering to Salacious Crumb (although it could be since Dusty didn't know if the word jumble was for the same figure as Brant's)


But I must say, what better way is there to start off the Scum & Villany line than to start with Jabba the Hutt?

And also remember that in a previous interview from a while back that they said that they'd like to do a 1/6th scale Rancor as their most wanted product...

Thanks for the clarification. I was gone for most of yesterday and missed a lot of the tread(and too lazy to go back and read through the whole thing).

I certainly have some Jabba love. :monkey5

[tomandshell]

I thought Luke's rancor bone accessory was a little silly at first, but it is starting to sound like it was a pretty good idea!

You can set up Jabba and his throne room display on the top shelf and Luke and the rancor underneath on the shelf below.

One of these days...

In one more hour I'll have been up for 24 hours and I'am not sure what to think of all of this....I'am in that half zombie state of mind and I really cant think straight...I think I need some sleep, but I dont want to miss anything...I may have to stay up for the 5 days...oh boy....Any way, i do think this has been one huge plan from SS over one year in the making....I cant wait to see how all this turns out....I love SS....They have put me in dept up to my ears, but I'am lovin' every minute of it.....am I rambling....

You should seriously get some sleep---wait, Freddy's not coming for you is he?:rolleyes:


But seriously, why are you not sleeping, nothing starts until tommorrow anyway so what's the point?

If they can do a 60" Hunter Killer, a 1/6 Rancor doesn't seem all that crazy.

[pixletwin]

None!!! :chew :chew :chew
What Pjam said! :chew :chew :chew
I don't care how much it is, I will find a way to afford it! :D

Congrats! One more day, and all of your questions will be answered...

But don't stop the guessing... that is the best part!
