Sideshow's Royal Guard

So now that we have seen Medicom's, what features would you like to see Sideshow add to theirs? Personally, I would like to see additional hands for more potential poses like this:



I would also like to see an unmasked head that is like the illustrations of EU. Can anyone find a photo of that?

I just want them to look and stand like this. This is how they are in the films, and that how I want them. I don't need any stupid extra eu crap. I don't care if they are on the buck and don't need extra hands.

Sounds like all you need is the Medicom.

Is there a way to add a poll after posting a thread?

lol, yea right. I wan't a short overpriced $150 figure.

I would like to see the double headed vibro blade used by the guy who was in the EU poll i.e. make the Royal Guard able to double as that guy... and then a Con Special being the inverted colours for the Shadow Guard.

While not accurate, I love the concept of red stormtrooper armor under the robes. I've got a custom I'm attempting to do this with using Marmit armor and a Hasbro Guard.

$170

We could get TWO Sideshow Royal Guards for the price of one Medi. And they'd be in scale. And would look less like toys.

Considering that there wouldn't be much in the way of extras, I would think you could get "3" from SS for the price of one Medi.

Wow, really? I would have never even thought of that. It's so great to have someone as nice and helpful as you on these boards.

I think in comparison, this is a relatively easy to make figure. Would love to see a SS Royal guard soon. Btw is there any difference between ROTJ and ROTS guards?

As opposed to someone who's too lazy to look for a pic themselves? ...just sayin'

is this it?

That's Carnor Jax from the "Crimson Empire" comics.

EU blech.

Another figure (like Stormies) I'd probably get two off... but only if the Emperor came with his throne

I think extra hands would be important, don't need a removable mask as you never saw that in the films.

That's Kir Kanos...Carnor Jax is far cooler...

I'd like to see a shadow guard, but only after they do a red guard, otherwise it's not gonna sell....

I'd consider getting a SS version especially if they do the Emperor with throne.

Not sure if I'd get the EU version but not cause I'm an EU hater.

It's funny. Everyone's giving Sideshow crap about the Utapau and saying "even Hasbro got it right." I guess one could argue the same case here with Medicom. It would be another opportunity for Sideshow to give us a better figure at a lower cost (like they did with Indy).

If I remember correctly the ROTS Royal Guards have the red robe opened on both sides and ROTJ only on the right side. Correct me if i'm wrong.
