[Viking28]

Well you guys were right! Hope he is ready to ship!!!

[dstephan]

Can't imagine he'd be ready to ship? When has that ever happened? He most likely won't even be a presale for the next couple of weeks. Remember they premiered Pippin at ORC and he didn't go on sale until the next week or so.

[LOTR Fan]

Wow, with mixed media this one may really be sweet! :banana

[SwoopingCloakofSureness]

:puke

j/k..I can't wait! :rock

[Magneticzero]

Man....it's going to be sweet.

Without even seeing it I bet it becomes the most sought over piece yet!!!!

[Mannie The Dragon]

OH MY GOD!!!!!

:rock :rock :rock :rock :rock
:banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

[dstephan]

Without even seeing it I bet it becomes the most sought over piece yet!!!!

Not a whole lot of mix in his media - so what would be a fair price for Grevious 1/4? Considering it's probably mostly sculpted - no cloth or just a cape...

Endoskeleton prices maybe?

[Sick Rick]

He should have a lot of metal, and two arms that split into FOUR with lightsabers that light up!!!!!! Helluva mixed media actually....

[dstephan]

I haven't seen a lot of pictures of him, but it looks like there's more white or tan than metal on him. Where would the metal come in?

[Viking28]

I would rather it not be all metal just so he wont be to much.

Yea Dave I guess it would be to much to ask if it would be ready to ship. They did it for last years Comic Con exclusives although it was 1/6s figures and a bust.
It would be nice though.

That was my first thought was Grievous.

I hope that is the case.

I am getting excited about this one.

[elwood49]

Holy crap!! I leave for 3 hours, and look what I miss!!!

This is gonna be the biggest release of the year!!!!!!!!:banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Those eyes look incredible. No doubt that it's Grievous. YES!!!!!!!!

[jimmyjamesf]

:thud I have nothing more to say I can't wait to see it. This just a guess but by looking that the picture those eyes are reflecting light. So hopefully the at least the prototype is done. I am so close to getting in the car and heading for C3.

[cherno]

Dave it makes sense that there would be a large metal compent to him for the mixed media. He is mostly droid according to Clone Wars. And in the episode where they introduce him, he is definatly mechanical.

Damn sideshow! I didn't want to start a new line, but I am going to have to get this.

[elwood49]

What if they suprise us all with a 2nd quarter release!! That would be the icing on a very nice cake!!

[One of Nine]

Here is a pic of the Grievous:

[jlcmsu]

Man, thats sweet.

[LewisD]

I'm not too impressed with Grevious...I would have much prefered Sidious or Anakin/Vader (pre-suit). It looks just like the Hasbro 12 inch...only much more expensive. It has a nice pose, but it just looks like a giant toy. Passing on this one...

[shaithis77]

That's a low res shot, where the flash has blow out all the detail. Give it a day or two.

You'll see... ;)

[screamingmetal]

Wow that was fast.
I like it so far from what I see.
I wonder if it'll have articulated arms?
Impressive, most impressive.

[Sick Rick]

From the visual guide to ep. 3, Grievous is 90% droid, with his brain and eyes inserted into the robotic body. He was supposedly built by the same race that builds VADER! Once this movie hits, Grievous will be the MAN. (aside from DV of course)SSW is not stupid, by any means, so we really should expect greatness from this piece....

I know his arms split into four for lightsaber combat..Man thats just nasty cool, can't wait to see if it does that:google

[aurea23]

Another Star Wars figure for me to collect
arrrrghhhhh

Michael

[B Electronic]

Awww man!!! I'm about to move into a new house. I cant afford so many new fantastic pieces!!! I've got Darth coming so I'll be needing that Obi Wan aswell. Now Grievous....

Btw is that the actual piece in the picture? Because he has no cape and grievous sure as hell needs that cool cape of his!

[Twilitewichking]

wow!! i was hoping for at least one lightsaber drawn....:lol :banana :banana :banana

[Gazmog]

When can we expect him to go up for pre-order? :drool

[pitchin4eva]

^^^^^IN' HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

MAN THAT'S SWEEEEEEEEEETT!!!! :drool :drool :drool

[Viking28]

WOW that is cool!! I cant wait to see the High res pics!
It is as good as ordered!

[Unique Soul]

It will be mine.

[B Electronic]

I wonder if you guys will be saying that if this piece indeed has the same pricetag as the endoskeleton.... I wont be buying it if it'll be that expensive.

[Oxbeard]

I need to preorder!!! When, When, When!!! :poke

[Severen]

Well there you go then. Good news for the huge throng of Grievous fans I guess. I imagine most will likely be very happy with this news.

You know, I find it interesting to see just how hugely popular Grievous has become far in advance to people even seeing the character in action in the film proper, seems his popularity is largely based on the idea of the character more than anything else at this point. Me, I'm still waiting to see how well, or not, the actual character works in the context of the film, but for whatever reason I've just never fallen for the Grievous hype thus far.

I mean for me the design is fine, but it doesn't blow me away or anything, the idea of the character is fine, but again it doesn't strike me special or overly excite me particularly, so ultimately whether or not I really get into this particular character will come down solely based upon the characterization and how the character works in the final context of the film itself, and nothing else. Wonder if I'll end up being converted in a little under a month...hmm, should be fun finding out anyways.

In the meantime, this is cool news for the fans, and I'm sure will prove a very popular piece for all those fans who seem to know more than I do when it comes to this character, but right now not too interested in this one (as far as buying it goes anyway) myself. Then again because of my limited budget I'm going to be very, very picky about which Sideshow pieces I get anyway, limiting myself only to my most favourite characters from the saga. Anyways I'm rambling so I'll shut up now... :lol


Sev.

[pitchin4eva]

he looks very tall, must be something like 20 inches!!

I reckon there will be an SS exclusive version with interchangable arms with his blaster &/or his cape.

[cherno]

Severen, I don't need just the idea of him to be cool. If you have seen clone wars from the cartoon network, you have seen him in action plenty of times, that is enough for me to be excited over this piece.
If it is in the same price range as Vader I will definately order it.

[elwood49]

Holy crap!!! That Grievous is sweet!! Guys don't forget that all 4 lightsabers will most likely light up.:drool

Obviously none of us have seen the movie yet, so maybe Grievous loses his cape for this scene in the film? I do wish that he had his cape for some color though. Thank you Sideshow.:bow There's no question in my mind that the SS line of Star Wars figures is the best. Wonder if there will be an exclusive and what the cost will be? I think I'm going to cancel one of the LOTR steeds, because this is a MUST buy.

A big thank you to SS for keeping the cool bases on each piece. I love the variety that each has. It adds that extra touch that is lacking on the new GG Biker Scout.

[pitchin4eva]

got a feeling that these sabers won't light up but i think there will be an exclusive version...............wonder what the ES will be?.......probably same as Vader.

[Azog of Moria]

In the meantime, this is cool news for the fans, and I'm sure will prove a very popular piece for all those fans who seem to know more than I do when it comes to this character,

Pulling from what I have learned of the Character from the two books he is in, and several comics, and also the Clone Wars Animated Series., Grievous is another Darth Maul, Boba Fett villian, short life span as far as fans know them, but very well liked. Plus he just looks badass CGI or not, very cool character. I would like to have seen Asajj Ventress also in the movie

[hulkfan]

Heed Shaithis' words, this is indeed an amazing piece. Definitely not just like the Hasbro 12" figure. ;) If I'm not mistaken, this is the most complex figure Sideshow has done to date... Blows the Endoskeleton out of the water in that regard... You should see how many pieces the prototype breaks down into, I couldn't even count them.

By the way, this is another Gore Group masterpiece. :rock

[HeraldElrond]

The details on this thing are breathtaking, i'd pay the endo price for that, just make it fast Damnit, and where is luke, I WANT MY 1/4 SW!!!!!!!!!

:yay :google :drool :poke :ar :vik :toast


:hat


side note: those C3 coverage photos have detailed shots up now!

[elwood49]

If I'm not mistaken, this is the most complex figure Sideshow has done to date... Blows the Endoskeleton out of the water in that regard

Great.... $550+ for this bad boy! Better be an ES of 1500 or less for that price. Hulkfan, where's the cape? It really would be a nice touch for the piece. Is it on the exclusive perhaps? Also, do the arms move like the endo? That would be awesome.

[DarkShadowCollectibles]

The statue looks awesome.

So far I have been trying to avoid collecting the SW 1/4 scales but I guess I might as well give up.

I love the fact that he has the 4 sabers.

[ShelobsPrey]

Hubba hubba! I's in love!!!

Man, that statue looks incredible! Hope it's not too expensive though - are you trying to bankrupt me SS?

Any clues to pre-order time...?

[LewisD]

It's obvious that this is much nicer than the Hasbro 12", but with a little weathering, and a custom base, I can make the exact same pose, and for those who haven't seen Hasbro's Grevious 12 inch, it is by far the most detailed they have done. I'd rather spend $25 on this character and save money for more intresting multi-media (cloth, etc.) characters like Obi-Wan...but to each his own...

[hulkfan]

To each his own indeed.... ;)

[pitchin4eva]

yeah but endo has moving joints justifying the $550 price........I'll pay $350 at the most for this piece.

I mean Vader has more mixed media & the saber lights up, Grievous looks really just like a statue altough until SS release full details, I'm just guessing

[elwood49]

I mean Vader has more mixed media & the saber lights up, Grievous looks really just like a statue altough until SS release full details, I'm just guessing

I agree completely. No way should this piece be more than $350. It has no metal or cloth on it at all.

[Gazmog]

Cool or not, if he's priced at $550 with a high ES...forget it!

[DetroitSportsFan]

Will the preorder begin this weekend? Anyone know?

[Doomhammer]

Looks very nice, it actually makes me like this character. They'd damn well better not save the cape for the exclusive.

[TheWitchKing]

If there is an exclusive I hope it somehow comes with a blaster. Anyhow, I am getting this for sure regardless of price and edition size! :rock

[elwood49]

Price and availability confirmed. $450 with 1st quarter '06 release. MINE!!!!!

www.sirstevesguide.com/ne...w&id=31312 (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/news/?m=show&id=31312)

[B Electronic]

Aw man.....$450? I dont know if I can afford such a piece.... I'll have to think about this one. I was kinda hoping it would be around $300. I'll prob have to cancel my Darth Vader if I really want it. Unless I can sell the Darth Vader for a nice price on ebay....

[screamingmetal]

Grievous has very small cylindrical rods in his design, I think it would be difficult for Polystone to recreate that. So Grievous should have a few metal components in the final product. And at $450, he better have some articulation! :thud

[Gazmog]

Hmmm, bloody hell!:puke :eek I guess I'll end up ordering it...but it wasn't the price I was expecting. There's no way I will be collecting all of these SS pieces. :x

[THE WARG BEAST]

$450 !!!!!!!!

SS are taking the %$&$ now

Way toooooo much :evil

WG :boing2

[elwood49]

This is actually cheaper than I expected. I was thinking $550. It better articulate and light up.

[Gazmog]

I only hope the ES is low. I will buy it, and some of the other principal cult characters, but I won't be a completist.

GG is where my collecting priorities lie.

[elwood49]

Grievous will fit in perfectly on a shelf with Boba Fett and Darth Maul.

[Gazmog]

Grievous will fit in perfectly on a shelf with Boba Fett and Darth Maul.

Aren't you forgetting these?

Clone Trooper
ROTS Clone Trooper
Jango Fett
Hoth Trooper
Stormie
Yoda AOTC
Vader ROTS
More droids, more clones...more money being spent. :\ :thud

[HeraldElrond]

And your forgetting Dark Anakin, lol

:lvader



:hat

[elwood49]

And your forgetting Dark Anakin, lol

Also known as Darth Vader. Once you see the film you will know what I'm talking about.

[HeraldElrond]

now i feel like a jackass after noticing the last one, thx, rofl

:rock

:hat

[dstephan]

Remember kids - it's more expensive to create an all poly figure than a mixed media one. That's why a no-cloth Greivous costs more I'd imagine. I'd like to see a cape too, but the pose doesn't really seem like it's suited for a cape. I'd think in the film if he's spinning 4 lightsabers around that a cape might get in the way.

This does look extremely detailed and it's a credit to the design team that they are able to realize a figure like this in 3-D that wasn't really designed to live in the real world, but only as a CGI creation. Look at the Hasblow figure - fragile, always falling apart, they caught the basic look of the character but he can't even hold his friggin' lightsabers.

If Greivous is as kick-booty a character as Maul - I think this will be a very popular piece.

Given the small arms too, I'm doubting the sabers will light up.

[arabian nazgul]

this line is gonna be really expensive, unlike the LOTR one.

let me ask this, did side show confirm what they will make in the future? i saw some guys mentioned maul-boba-jango-anakin?

is this from sideshow?

[Viking28]

Well I got to say this is a awesome 1/4!!!
Very well done Sideshow!

But I do think he is about $100 overpriced unless he has a small edition size then I could see that price.
If there is a exclusive version of him, I think he should have more than just his cape. Maybe a jedi head in one of his hands or something cool.

If the exclusive version only comes with a cape then Im going to go to our trusty dealers were we will be saving some money with!

[elwood49]

Maybe a jedi head in one of his hands or something cool.

Grievous doesn't kill any Jedi in the film.

[Viking28]

Im going to have to read the book.

[elwood49]

I wonder if SS will utilize the new Flexpay system on Grievous?

[Viking28]

Yea that would be kind of nice.

[pitchin4eva]

I just dunno anymore about this piece......$450 is alot of money & if we keep on paying this kinda money for these items, the price is only gonna go higher & higher further along the line.
Unless SS come up with a low edition size SS exclusive then I'll be heading off to the dealers for a good discount.

Not really a good way to start the line off............with rapidly increasing prices.
Look at the LOTR line eg. the balrog statue ($300) if that was released now it would be round about $400 with an ES of 3000.

Really becoming disillusioned by the collecting market in recent years. :dunno :dunno

[elwood49]

There's no way I'm getting Grievous from SS unless the ES on the exclusive is EXTREMELY low. As in 250 or less like Han. Otherwise, I'll get him from a board dealer for somewhere between $350-$375.

[Viking28]

I agree.

[pitchin4eva]

Here's a photo to prove that Grievous would look even more awesome with a cape!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/jediknight49/griev116tm1.jpg

[elwood49]

:rock Give Grievous a cape SS!

[Gazmog]

I think it's a safe bet that GG will release this guy in bust and statue form...and at a fraction of the cost of SS. Don't forget, they tend to keep their ES low. There's nothing nicer than owning a truly exclusive piece. ;)

[pitchin4eva]

I mean......true, SS do make some truly outstanding work but there surely must be a balance between awesome work & affordablity?
If Joe Public are being priced out the market, is collecting becoming an elitist market?

[Gazmog]

They will be for the few and not the many. :rolleyes >:

[kierbaudy]

Geez, not thrilled with the high price.

[Gazmog]

I may end up selling Han Rebel Hero to get it. :rolleyes

[pitchin4eva]

and the thing that angers me the most?...............I know SS will release an exclusive version & I will be forced to buy it!!!

As you can tell I'm pissed off >: >:

They've got me grabbed by the balls!! :rollin :rollin

[elwood49]

I may end up selling Han Rebel Hero to get it.

That's not a bad idea. You'll probably be able to get the regular Han at an excellent price later if you want one.

I'm considering selling my Dewback next year to get Grievous. I'm sure the Dewback will be pulling in big bucks by then. Hopefully I'll have the money by next year, and will be able to keep both. There's a lot of time left until Grievous ships.

You guys wouldn't believe my preorder list! It's gotten insane! I'm going to look at all of the items in person and then decide whether to keep them or not. All of the SS Star Wars pieces and GG dioramas will stay though.:banana

[Viking28]

I may end up selling Han Rebel Hero to get it

Ok Gaz calm down take some deep breaths!:lol

[Gazmog]

El, I have the regular Han on order too.:D

Vk, given the choice I'd rather have the likes of Grievous over a figure with a medal. :lol :\

I'm calm, I'm calm...just!!!:p

[Viking28]

Im really looking forward to the Han Rebel Hero version myself and he is a classic part of Star Wars. And plus they nailed his look!
Like you said before G.G. will have their version and a bust so Sideshow really has to make it tempting for me to purchase from them.
Because if Im going to get its going to be through a board dealer.

[elwood49]

Rebel Hero Han will be really special. He's the only one that I don't have on order.

I've got two Vaders (reg. and excl.), two Hans (reg), and one Luke, ordered but no Rebel Han.

I only ordered two because I think these are going to be a big hit this fall. I don't normally scalp these things, but there's no way I could afford to buy all of these cool Star Wars pieces otherwise.

[Gazmog]

Im really looking forward to the Han Rebel Hero version myself and he is a classic part of Star Wars.

The regular Han will be sufficient for me, I think. I cannot even begin to consider getting into collecting variations. Hell no!:thud

Because if Im going to get its going to be through a board dealer.

I do most of my business with the board dealers (screw customs) as these items are thin on the ground over here, and I'm not taking any chances with some retailers in the UK that I've never dealt with before. I will turn to these guys for the new stuff. :bow

[elwood49]

Good call Gaz. Sell the Rebel Hero for big bucks and keep the regular Han. That's what I would do. 2 Hans together would look weird. I actually prefer the regular version over the Rebel Hero version. I just think that the smirk looks strange at the medal ceremony.

[Gazmog]

Good call Gaz. Sell the Rebel Hero for big bucks and keep the regular Han.

Yep, my mind's made up now. I only have the Vader with Mousedroid on order and no Luke. I figure we'll end up seeing a multitude of variations disguised as exclusives, so I'm sure at some point a Luke Jedi Knight will be forthcoming. I'd rather have a collection of the most dynamic, the most badass characters from SS, to sit along side, as signature pieces, my GG collection. :rock

[Oxbeard]

I must admit I usually avoid variations most of the time. But I just couldn't bring myself to resist on the Han Solo. Ordered the exclusive immediately and then caved and went back and ordered the regular too. Han is one of my favorite characters and honestly I just feel that these two pieces even though just a variation are distinctly different. I am still blown away by the sculpt, it just appears to be almost dead on, can't wait to see it in person!!!

[Wonderboy43]

Why in the world would you sell such a wonderful character like HAN SOLO to get Gen. Grievious? Are you nuts?

Han Solo is simply one of the greatest characters ever. If I had two, one to trade, I'd save him to trade for something bigger and better than Grievious.

I think the only fair trade would be for Indiana Jones (Toys McCoy or Cinemaquette) or Fett (SS).

[Viking28]

or Fett (SS).

:drool
:drool
:drool
:drool

[Severen]

Way too rich for my blood, and despite looking like a high quality piece I also think it's overpriced personally.


Sev.

[arabian nazgul]

2 points to make.

greivous actually kills shak ti

and i sense that there will be an exclusive with a cape limited to 250 pieces....

[shaithis77]

greivous actually kills shak ti

Incorrect.

;)

[dstephan]

And if I have to say it....


NO SPOILERS!!!!!!!

[Gazmog]

Why in the world would you sell such a wonderful character like HAN SOLO to get Gen. Grievious? Are you nuts?

No, I will sell one version of him. No, quite sane. I happen to like the look of the Grievous statue and the character (read the novel and you'll know why) and feel that having 2 Han Solo figures in my collection, which I might add is predominantly GG, is too much. I think you're missing the point. I cannot envisage becoming a hardcore collector of SS Star Wars for the simple and succinct reason they will bankrupt me. I am choosing pieces that I feel will best complement GG, and having 1 Han, 1 Grievous, 1 Vader, etc., does that for me. :wave

[Migwit]

The more I look at this piece the more impressed I am with it. Hulkfan mentioned in another thread about how incredibly detailed Grievous is. I think I'm going to have to get it after! Can't say that I'd prefer an exclusive with cape. I think this one stands alone just fine, you can really get a feel for the movement of the arms (not literal movement, just the impression of movement; it's not a "static" pose). :dance

[Gazmog]

I love this piece...well, I am fascinated by the character, so it only seems right I do justice to my collection, albeit a GG one, and add this one. Coming from a guy of his calibre, Hulkfan has brought home to us the lengths many have gone to to create such a piece of splendour. So now I can appreciate the economics a little better, despite wishing the cost was less...but hey...can't win them all.

Just out of idle curiosity, Hulkfan, are you currently working on any Star Wars projects?

[pitchin4eva]

Hey Migwit......................
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/jediknight49/griev116tm1.jpg
.......................enough said!! :thud :thud :thud

[Migwit]

Truly awesome! And the cape actually looks good! Thanks for the pic, p4e! Is this a figure, or a pic capture? :dance

[pitchin4eva]

dunno...........just found on the web

[Viking28]

Even though I think he looks awesome it still depends on the price and all.

[Agent23]

I agree Viking. This piece looks incredible. I just don't think I can go for the $450 price tag.

It would go great with Darth Vader thou.....Hmmm....

[Gazmog]

If the regular version is assigned an ES of 1000, and any exclusive released has an ES of 250...question is: would those who are on the 'fence' take a leap of faith and order?

[Viking28]

Gaz I can tell you now I would take the leap of faith on the exclusive. But I mean if either Fett, Clone Trooper ect ect I wont think twice on cancelling him. Mainly because of that price tag.

[Gazmog]

Vk, I hear what you're saying. To find the asking price for this one when so much from GG is most likely slated after ROTS opens, is pushing it if I hadn't have ordered both variations of Han. If news breaks of a GG Gr statue or a huge haul of GG merchandise in the pipeline for '06, then the situation will change.

[Unique Soul]

I'd be surprised if they didn't have an exclusive version. Either way I'm getting this big sucker.

[screamingmetal]

Migwit, that's a picture of the CGI character from the movie.

Looking at the arms, I still don't think this will be 100% Polystone. The arms just look too spindly to be made from Polystone to me. It'd be better for them to be cast out of metal.

[Migwit]

Cool! Thanks!

[Mannie The Dragon]

I'm all over this one..... I don't care how much he is. He is pricey, yes.... But as someone mentioned, hopefully SS will do the flex-pay program with him.

I'd be willing to bet this'll be one of the best statues to come out of the Star Wars line, or dare I say, anything Sideshow has done. He looks amazing.

I've been screaming for Greivous since I found out SS was doing ROTS characters. And now that he's official, I'd be a damn fool not to get him.
