1:6 Rancor, anyone?

[metaphorge]

Now that it's been demonstrated that thousands of people are willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for hug, slimy, sixth-scale things (http://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15314&page=73), I have a question:

Who's ready for a 1:6 Rancor?

I know, I know; at first it sounds absolutely nuts, it would be far too big. However, after observing the Gentle Giant Rancor's size in comparison with his keeper, I think it could be done.

I would not mind it so much if Sideshow fudged the total size a little bit; a 24" Rancor would be plenty huge and menacing, and it might be possible to do it as a rotocast figure; the 1:4 Darkness (from Legend) and the 1:12 Balrog siggest that a similarly huge, detailed creature could be pulled off in the medium without being ridculously heavy or expensive.

So, your thoughts?

[Vader AL]

i think you know the answer........YES!

[Customikey]

This has been brought up before. At length. However, I have changed my stance on this idea. A. Doable. B. Would be extremely cool. C. I'd shell out the $$$.

[jason2885]

If Sideshow does him I want him to 3 and half feet tall and would be probably $400.

[Batty]

No thanks. I have the GG Rancor, and I don't have room for that. I couldn't imagine having a 1/6 version. But no doubt people would but it.

[Buttmunch]

I would be scared about the cost of the figure. This thing would be HUGE. Many people still don't realize how big Jabba and his throne are. A Rancor could possibly be possible, but I hope not for at lesat a few years. :o

[theropod]

That's an easy pass for me because I don't collect the 1:6 scale figures. Perhaps if they made a 1:4 scale Rancor I would have to get it. :lol

[The Josh]

I'd get this in a heartbeat! It would rank as one of the coolest items of this scale ever done IMO.

[IrishJedi]

This thing would frighten potential prowlers for sure. I'm in! :lol

In all seriousness, I would be interested to see how this could be pulled off.

[Memnoch21]

Id get it, dunno where id store it but Id get it. I cant wait to have my own house.

[Buttmunch]

I kept telling myself Sideshow wouldn't make Jabba for SDCC... at least for a couple of years. Guess what? They did. After Jabba, nothing would surprise me now. We are getting the holo chess set, does that mean droids and/or chewie are coming too? I wouldn't doubt it. Toy Fair should be interesting.

A 1:4 Rancor would be large enough to ride like a pony.

Thanks gb, I know you ALL know my thoughts on this...

[galactiboy]

Yes, you were staunchly against a 1/6 Rancor if I remember. I think you said over your dead body would anything as stupid and frivolous as a Rancor that could crush a small dog be produced!

:rotfl

[Alice Adrenochrome]

And for those that can't remember my point of view on this, I'll gladly repeat: thanks, but no, thanks. Too big, too expensive.

[JohnyBoo]

I have the GG Rancor and it is impressive and looks so real. My dog barked at it for an entire week. I can't imagine how cool one from SS would be. I think it would be very popular.

[PosterBoyKelly]

Big? Ridiculous? Too much? NO SUCH THING! I want this sooo hard, I want it! I don't want a statue, I want a gigantic hunk of plastic as big as my desk of the Rancor! I'd easily pay the price, it's awesome! I don't even have any of the Jabba things to match it, but who cares? NOT ME! I'd get 2 and post them on my roof as Gargoyles! :emperor

[Customikey]

I'd set him up to cradle one of my cats. Aww, so cute!!!

How about an exclusive Gammorean arm that fits in his mouth!! He'd also have to come with some bones and the skull that ended his sad life. And of couse, we'd have to get Malakili for him. I don;t know why, but I always dug that figure.

[PosterBoyKelly]

The bone should be broken, since Luke comes with the complete 1. The exclusive would totally have to be something Gamorean related. It'd be so morbid.

[Darth Madden]

I would have to pass. It was hard enough to justify the Throne no way could I afford a Rancor. I would rather them spend the time working on great versions of Vader, Fett, Yoda and Chewy than a Rancor.

[customizerwannabe]

Oh yeah baby!:chew

[fassa_the_hutt]

I would love to get one! bring it on!

I've got great versions of Vader and Yoda, and will of Fett. Know what justifies a Rancor..............IT'S AWESOME!

I'm just busting balls. I guess those are priorities, but since there may not be armored figs this year, a Rancor can't be a big stretch, just a great sculpt and some plastic. No clothing, no accessories, just a big a$$ monster.

No problem... I have a good Fett (I like my electronic version) but I don't have anybody else good. For me a Rancor is LOW on the priority list and with the huge cost that it will be I would probably have to pass. But if they do make one then I am glad everyone else will be happy.

[King Darkness]

If this were offered I think it would be roughly the size of my Legend 1:1 bust:google

Theres no way I could dispaly a 1:6 Rancor.
