Images of SW 12" figures appeared briefly on the site and were quite quickly removed.

ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AmanaMatt]

Nothing new was shown yet, except that chess table.

[Darth Loki]

I'm so cancelling the Endor troops.

I'm so cancelling the Endor troops.


I don't blame you!

[carbo-fation]

Where is my 12" PALPY?!?!?!?:emperor

[KitFisto]

I'm so cancelling the Endor troops.

I already did a coupl of months ago. Seeing these pics lets me know I made the right choice.

Plo Koon looks awesome and I can't wait to get him.

[The Josh]

I'm keeping my Endor Troops. They look nice.

[Xander]

Yeah, the Endor troops look off to me. I was thinking of picking up a couple (Nik and the one shown above) but I'll probably end up passing. By the time these are out I'm sure there will be so much other stuff coming that they seem a little bland.

I like Plo Kloon, I think his headsculpt is really awesome. I wonder if they changed anything about his outfit yet.

Anyway, bring on the rest!

[PosterBoyKelly]

Glad I'm not getting Leia now.

[Buttmunch]

I for one think the Rebels and Plo look better and Asajj worse. Her robes and dress aren't as shabby looking - probably reflects the production figure look. Plo's pants are now brown -much better looking. I think the rebels look even better before TF I was considering cancelling them, but now I'm going to try everything I can to keep them.

[The Mike]

Where the hell is Snowbunny Padme?

Where the hell is Snowbunny Padme?

My thoughts exactly!

[Brent72]

Endor troops = yawn.

[Darth Madden]

Endor troops = yawn.


Big Yawn... Thats why I never even considered buying them.

[nash]

well theyre definitely for the more hardcore collectors, but at least they are happy with them.

[MaulFan]

I think the soldiers look nice and I would have liked to get them, but being on a budget and having bigger priorities than my Star Wars collecting, it pains me a little to say that, I had to cancel the soldiers. If money weren't an issue, I would gladly add them in, they're nice pieces, but in my current situation I'm being forced to focus on more mainstream characters like Plo and Asajj.

[pickard]

Endor troops = yawn.

Endor troops = YAWN!

[CookieMonster]

I'm so cancelling the Endor troops.

HA!!! I beat you to it!! I made the decision last week. It was more to do with finances but I figured they were the least important.

[Amir]

Where the hell is Snowbunny Padme?

Asajj Killed her.

[AmanaMatt]

Endor troops = YAWN!

I totally agree; while I cancelled the one I ordered originally (nick), if I can score him on Ebay cheap, I may get one down the road.

I am blown away by that Leia Boushh. I sure hope that is what the production face looks like. If so, that is one of the nicest pieces I have ever seen. It is fantastic.

[Homer Simpson]

Endor troops = YAWN!Endor Troops = YAWN

[Sith Lord 0498]

The Endor Troopers look better in these shots IMO. Asajj looks just as good, but I wish Sideshow had corrected the clothing and given her a cloak like Luke has. Leia Boushh just looks incredible, and I'd be re-ordering her if I wasn't holding out for a Bespin version.

The Dejarik table looks spectacular. I would like to see the figures cast in a translucent plastic to reflect their holographic nature though, and SSC really should've placed it closer to another 12 incher to give it some scale.

The diorama looks better here as well (as opposed to the teaser shot on SSC's site). While I still have a feeling it'll be close to the $200 mark, I'll order it if it won't be coming out until at least summertime (give me enough time to get the finances in place).

Still...I'd like to know if anything new is going to be presented (such as Snowbunny Padme).

[pjam]

Sorry to say but these are some of the worst RS Gallery photos I've ever seen, some are really good, Leia, but so many are out of focus, very annoying... if any of you guys at RS are watching please retake some of these shots so we can see the detail in these pieces...

Sorry to be such a nitpicker... :D

[Seth Gecko]

Yup likeness is off to me.

I agree. The quality of these pictures are terrible in comparison to the usual standard of quality that Rebelscum has at conventions.

Well, I don't know what it's like at these shows in terms of time your allowed to look at things, but sometimes a shot looks focused on that lil LCD window most digitals have and you don't know it's blurry until you drop it onto your computer.

Secondly, if I were at the show, I'd be on clowd nine and I'd have a very unsteady hand, so the minor blurring that's there isn't so big a deal, you see it well enough, my pictures would look like all the toys had goes trailing them lol.

Finally, RS is kind enough to share news and images with is, they could just as easily do a write up with no images and rub it in our faces. I for one think the effort deserves appreciation, this isn't supposed to be pro shots for a catalog, they're quick snaps so we can get glimpses we won't have for months, and I'm glad they do that for us.

[pjam]

C'mon man, they're convention pros and do the best gallery shots year after year. I don't really know what happened but I doubt they were so rushed they couldn't take focused shots. I think this is just an anomaly and they'll retake and repost some of these, I hope so anyway.

[Darth Waller]

Well, they are doing us a favor by posting something, but with a digital camera, it takes just a second to realize when a picture is no good. Surely there's time to do that and snap another quick shot.

[Boba Fett]

I'm so cancelling the Endor troops.

Yeah, I think I may go the same route.

We're just noticing and pointing out that the quality is lackluster compared to all of their previous convention shots. Many of the photographers are pros with pro equipment as well, so these aren't pics taken by Joe Schmo with a point-and-click camera.

Consider it brutal honesty in terms of constructive criticism.

Yep, and some pieces were shot from many different angles so it's not like they were rushed or anything... like S-P says, they're pros and have floor access.

When it comes to pieces shown for the first time with floor pics, like Trev's first Diorama, I was kind of disappointed. I mean, if the shot is out of focus don't post it or replace it at a later time so his work can be appreciated properly, that's all I'm asking. :D

[Hoser]

It's surprising to see how many people dislike the Endor team. I'm actually looking forward to them and I'm not a hardcore fan either, ardent, but not hardcore. Judging by the general dislike on these peices, I think these will be had for Han-like prices on ebay down the road and I will pick them up then.

[galactiboy]

I remember last year some of the pictures were really good and some others not so much. But initially they cranked out a lot of shots, just to get them to the fans... but later went back and got better and more detailed ones.

I'm guessing over the next few days we'll be getting better updates from them.

[pixletwin]

Dave was prolly still shaking from lack of sleep when he took those. :P

I think the only 12" they will announce will be Snow Bunny Padme... Aloth' deep down I am still hoping for a character from ANH.

Endor troops do look weird. The ones head (not Nick or Brant) looks askew somehow. I really am digging Leia tho and I am getting more and more anxious to see her ship.

Asajj looks great, tho' it looks like they are sticking with the robe instead of the red-lined cloak they should've gone for.

All things told, TF is proving to be pretty exciting.

[MaulFan]

I wouldn't give up on Asajj's robe until the production images show up because if they're putting work into it and don't have it quite ready for display, they may have just thrown on this robe for TF to have something, time will tell, but the overall figure looks fantastic.

The problem with mass-cancellations of the crummy Endor Troops is that it may very likely affect the possibilities of other (BETTER) Rebel troop figures in the future (or at least how dedicated SSC is to them). Yet another of the myriad of reasons why these were quite possibly the worst choice to start the Military line. :(

[Darklord Dave]

COMPLAINING about Endor troops = YAWN x 100

[jedibear]

Well, while it's great to see some shots of "finished" figures coming our way soon, I'd say the results are a little mixed to say the least (I'll sidebar that by stating the oft-heard "...but it's different when you actually see it"....as is often the case)...

However...

The Endor Troopers are looking a little "off" based on those shots....I don't remember the camo being so "neon" in the film...I'll have to pop it on again and check it out....I'm almost ready to cancel the bundle and just get on the WL for Nik....

Leia looks good....nice weathering on the outfit. Wish we'd seen the "helmet head" option...

Plo Koon....where to begin....well, here's what Sideshow is presenting (picture from Rebelscum TF coverage):

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/162/387342730_16eff12bd3_o.jpg

I'm very curious where Sideshow is getting the image ideas to create their version of Plo. I can find no reference material or film footage that shows him in jedi garb that looks basically like everyone else's....Plo's is totally unique. They've done a good job on the outer robe, but the jedi tunic (with the exception of the turtleneck undershirt) looks to be a simple rehash.
Was this his (unseen) appearance in ROTS that they are using for reference for his look for this figure?

I know it'll probably be sacrilege to say it...but the Hasbro version is actually closer to the mark for Plo's outfit and appearance...

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/172/387325170_8b13d08fba.jpg

Hasbro seems to have hit the mark with the basic outfit's look...I just watched the last part of AOTC on HD-HBO tonight, and the Hasbro look is definitely closer to the Plo we know....

As for Assaj....well, at least Sideshow has the advantage of creating a figure that does not have a film counterpart to allow for such close scrutiny for "accuracy". She look good....especially the twin-bladed saber...

[Sith Lord 0498]

The outfit on Plo is virtually identical to Mace's outfit...just a different color. Good heavens I hope Sideshow isn't starting to recycle and rehash parts of their figures already!!!!!! :rolleyes:

[pjam]

Yeah, if they don't fix his shirt or make one that is film-accurate (as they mostly do for so many of these) I'm Outtie on this.

[Seth Gecko]

Thank you sir, and this ground has been well travelled so... hmm...

[The Josh]

Have we ever seen what his robes look like underneath?

[pjam]

I don't know Josh, SSC has made most if not all their previous outfits film-accurate so I trust them to come through. I just don't know what the prod sample is yet, if it is indeed this, not so sure I'm gonna pick him up.

He had a very distinctive V shirt with border and I'm not seeing it... yet...

[Memnoch21]

On film? No.

In other figures and busts? Yes.

[The Josh]

I don't think so Josh, SSC has made most if not all their previous outfits film-accurate so I trust them to come through, just don't know what the prod sample is yet, if it is this, not so sure I'm gonna pick him up.

Well, I'd have to go check my SW Chronicles book to see if it's accurate to what he actually wore. Then I would have to say it is what he wore underneath on screen.

[pjam]

Cool, they did do a great job with that elaborate mask...

[Memnoch21]

In all honesty, if you want it to look "film accurate", just take the tabbards off and find a way to keep the outter tunic open a bit wider. Other then that I see nothing actually "off" from what we have seen on screen.

[The Josh]

You can do that too. :lol

[Memnoch21]

I guess im just getting frazzled from all the complaints that Plo isnt film accurate and rehashing Mace's outfit because we NEVER canonnically saw what was under the robe. Just because it is on merchandise doesn't mean it's right. How long was it stated on/in merchandise that Obi Wan and Owen were brothers?

[The Josh]

Yeah, that's what I was saying back when it came out. We have no idea because we never saw.

[D. Martin]

Actually, Plo Koon's under tunics were designed to look like the production sketches of the character from the Art Of ROTS book. It wasn't a cheap out, it was a way to give collectors a costume that could work with the exclusive Saber gauntlet...

Right which is like one of the only "official" places we see what his robes might have looked like.

So the Art of ROTS book was a more important reference for SSC than the two previous MOVIES?? :confused:

Ah...just looked at that....well, that explains it I guess...

[galactiboy]

Hey Dave, any chance you could post some nice clear shots of the new Aliens Warrior and Powerloader... these seem to be pretty scarce :monkey2

[mfoga]

Could you provide a CLEAR capture from the movies of under tunics?

[FlyAndFight]

http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/plokoon/img/eu_bg.jpg

If you want "movie accurate", then you'll have to display him with the robe on, just like the pic that the Earl posted above. I don't think I've seen a pic of him without it.

[pjam]

Wasn't this a wardrobe test shot? Not sure, I would love to see some screen shots if there are any. :D

[IrishJedi]

Could you provide a CLEAR capture from the movies of under tunics?
Not sure, but Lucasfilm has TONS of hi-res reference photos of TPM/AOTC Plo Koon both with and without the outer robe. And, yes, I asked... it was for a previous unrelated project. Unfortunately, I never needed the Plo Koon images so I didn't get them (though if I did I still wouldn't be able to post them).

In any case, there are reference pics of Plo Koon's costume from TPM/AOTC that could have been used (where do you think GG and Hasbro got them?) instead of leveraging an unused concept design from the Art of ROTS book. But oh well. The sculpt is still spot-on.

[mfoga]

My whole things is people who SCREAM its not screen acurate but it seems like good clear screen captures are very hard to find. From what I can find it seems like he never had his robe off so who the hell knows what they look like under the robe. So unless the robe is wrong no one can really say that its wrong.

[KitFisto]

If you want "movie accurate", then you'll have to display him with the robe on, just like the pic that the Earl posted above. I don't think I've seen a pic of him without it.

He didn't have it on in the arena battle in AOTC. He was walked back into the group of Jedi in the middle on the ring and didn't have it on then.

But they're saying it's wrong because he never wore that under the robes in ANY of the movies... it's from an unused concept design for ROTS.

Further, Hasbro, Gentle Giant and other licensees have produced Plo Koon figures and busts that use the Jedi tunic under the robe that was actually worn in the film(s). Sure, you might not be able to see them too well in the final cuts, but they're there. And LFL has the reference photos... which is how GG, Hasbro and the like knew what to do.

Sideshow, for whatever their reasons (could have been to resuse the Mace clothing to cut costs or could have been for artistic reasons) decided to go their own route. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing... but this 1:6 Plo Koon figure does feature a Jedi costume that was never worn by the character in ANY of the movies. That's pretty important to some people, apparently.

[mfoga]

I don't even belive that they are incorrect from the other photos with the robe on. In the RS photos they look like they are on losely. If they are pulled down to fit better that would create the V like the other photo and with so little of the tunic being shown in that photo you cant tell.

I agree. I think that SS is correct to what he wore but since we did not see it in the movies it's not a guarantee by anymeans.

[IrishJedi]

Hey, I'm cool with it actually. And I for one think the figure looks tremendous can can't wait to have him. Just sayin...

[Darth Waller]

I have something like 300 more SSC pics to go up on Cool Toy Review (http://www.cooltoyreview.com)> Dan and I are just about to head out to the Diamond beer fest, er, press event. WE'll be back at work adding more images after that. We're down to 2 hours sleep a night, so please bear with us a little longer :)

Wow, wrong I was. For some reason I thought I remembered him being walked back into the crowd of Jedi without his robe.

I was surprised, too. How in the hell does he fight with that big robe on? :lol

[EVILFACE]

:lol :lol :lol

[BDarin73]

near as I can tell from the hasbro figures Plo Koon's are just the regular jedi tunic sans the tabbards so I don't see why its that big a deal, just don't put his tabbards on

from RS

http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=/ROTS/rots0516plokoonfront.jpg

[EVILFACE]

Yea, I don't see what the problem people are having with SS reuse of Mace's clothes patterns and charging the same price. I mean geesh, hasblo releases the exact sme figures multiple times on different cards and doen't change the price.

His outer layer of clothes is screen acurate, case closed.

[pixletwin]

yeah. I didn't hear anyone complain that Ash's watch was reused on the dead security guard. I am sure that is not the only example. He looks accurate to me.

[EVILFACE]

yeah. I didn't hear anyone complain that Ash's watch was reused on the dead security guard. I am sure that is not the only example. He looks accurate to me.

And the deads security guards belt and walkie talkie were used on T1000.

[Lord Aykroyd]

Note that even the robe is slightly different - there's a definate V neck to it that obi, mace, and aniken dont have - and its not just how he wears it - its the cut. + the colors of the tunic and cloak are off on the ssc version atm - both should be shades darker.

Im just say'n

[BDarin73]

well I agree the color is off, however the way these tunics look vary on how you put it on the figure. Also looking at the hasbro figure I'm not convinced you'd get that perfect v-shape underneath the robe if it had one on, you's see that under tunic poking out, I don't think there's a right answer here. Let's not forget hasbro has a tendency to fill in the blanks with costumes on thier figures sometime dem hazon and myo are perfect examples.

[Anzik Hayes]

Everytime I read one of these spirited debates, a little scenario pops into my brain. Sitting at a table are four guys arguing very passionately, over what parts of a toy are and aren't accurate. Along come a couple of really hot girls and the conversation changes to the highlights of the Superbowl.

[MaulFan]

MAN LAW!!!

[DarkArtist81]

yeah. I didn't hear anyone complain that Ash's watch was reused on the dead security guard. I am sure that is not the only example. He looks accurate to me.

Seen it happen quite a lot.... Evil Ash hands were reused for JGTH, Ash's watch was used on Subject 5 AND Patient Zero. Those generic shoes used on the Tux Bond's were used over and over to great effect... The machete for Jason was reused for LALD Bond.... I'm sure there are many more.

It's good that they do that from time to time, saves some cash and gets the figure out to us at a cheaper rate. Plo looks fine to me... I think it was his ROTS costume that we only saw him in for .5 seconds before he was incinerated. :lol

[D. Martin]

Hopefully this will include a decent full frontal view of the Aliens Power Loader. I've yet to see one.

I reshot that section to get the shots your requested. You can check 'em out here: http://www.cooltoyreview.com/tf2007/SSCavp/

Hope Dave is cool with me posting this link...

[Darth Waller]

Wow! That's power loader is insane! That's got to be the most complex 1/6 scale "figure" I've ever seen.

[D. Martin]

Yeah, it's sweet! When I was there on the first day I wanted to play with it but Brock was hogging it :)
