oh holy ____...............:panic::panic::panic:

my poor wallet.......:monkey2

[VASith]

Holy crap!

:thud::thud:

[IrishJedi]

Glad for all of you who want Grievous, but no matter how good he turns out, I'll pass.

But bring on Chewie and the Droids, Sideshow/Hot Toys! :rock

[Elder_Predator2]

____ me man! I haven't even PO'd Gree yet. Too many things at once

[Shropt]

Glad for all of you who want Grievous, but no matter how good he turns out, I'll pass.

But bring on Chewie and the Droids, Sideshow/Hot Toys! :rock

____ty thing is the announcement did not allude to the droids or Chewie. :(

[SilentSurfer]

Wow! I didn't realize Hot Toys was so involved in these pieces.

[dominishin]

It didn't exactly say HT would make them... HT is making DX Luke... the rest sound like they're still being made by SS.

[JosephCPR]

:lol It seems this SDCC is going to be reaaaally $$$$$$$$

[IrishJedi]

____ty thing is the announcement did not allude to the droids or Chewie. :(

You know they're coming, though. Probably not now (at SDCC), but they have to be in development already. Pieces like those are exactly why Sideshow needs Hot Toys joint 1:6 engineering/dev talent.

[Gipetto0812]

____ me man! I haven't even PO'd Gree yet. Too many things at once

same here! but Greivous is my most anticipated SW figure along with Dooku, so something else will have their PO canceled if it means being able to get Grievous

[addicted 2 collecting]

It didn't exactly say HT would make them... HT is making DX Luke... the rest sound like they're still being made by SS.

this is true.

[Elder_Predator2]

I will get Grievous too! He will probably be the ____!

[Wor-Gar]

This might be the best SDCC yet!

Boba Fett
Grievous
DX Luke by HT

plus what we already got!

[IrishJedi]

This might be the best SDCC yet!

Boba Fett
Grievous
DX Luke by HT

plus what we already got!

Don't forget what will also likely be there:

STAP Vehicle
Cantina Environment

[vareika]

Insane...damn, I have 4 Medicom Starwars figures

[Wor-Gar]

That's right, IJ! Maybe even more.

For some reason, more than Fett, I'm excited about Grievous. I guess because I've never seen a great 1/6th version.

[Kuzeh]

Oh yes!! :yess:
This is one PT figure I've been waiting for!!
:rock!

[JacktheRipper]

Glad for all of you who want Grievous, but no matter how good he turns out, I'll pass.

But bring on Chewie and the Droids, Sideshow/Hot Toys! :rock

I've never taken a stand on if I bought OT or PT, but I'm going to now. I've got to eat and so does the family so only OT.

[The Josh]

Must own piece for me. Character is too badass looking not to get.

[Glennfett]

BOUGHT,LOL

when do these go up for PO?

[EVILFACE]

Damn, if SS makes it I guess I'll have to get a Grievous!!!

[Shropt]

15 minutes!!!

[darthviper107]

15 minutes!!!

What's in 15 minutes?

[VASith]

15 minutes!!!

Til what??? :gah::gah:

[Shropt]

I'd put money that we'll see a Grievous preview at the top of the hour.

[SilentSurfer]

Based on what typical set of circumstances?

[Shropt]

All of the announcments today have been programmed to hit at certain times. I could be wrong. 4 minutes left.

[SilentSurfer]

I hope you're right. I'm loving this.

[IrishJedi]

I hope you're right. I'm loving this.

Yes. This is like Christmas. But better! :rock

[Shropt]

Guess I was wrong. Doh. :(

But I am darn sure we'll see at least one more thing today.

[Khev]

So they previewed the life-size Carbo Han instead of Grievous or is the General still expected today?

[darthviper107]

They previewed the Boba Fett 1/6th so probably not Grievous today

[lerath666]

betting boba tommorow, with a grevious or dx luke tease.

[lerath666]

I Take that back, listed under tomorrows figures, first thing is " 12 inch figure from hot toys"

there's the luke I'll bet. that, or jake sully :shrug

[Shropt]

Anyone else thinking that this is Grievous on the right side of the image?

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/shropt/Sideshow/splash-new-products.jpg

[Khev]

I did originally but everyone pointed and laughed at me and said it was the dog alien from Alien 3.

[mfoga]

Yes. This is like Christmas. But better! :rockAnd more expensive:lol

[Shropt]

I did originally but everyone pointed and laughed at me and said it was the dog alien from Alien 3.

That's what she said?

[darthviper107]

Anyone else thinking that this is Grievous on the right side of the image?

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/shropt/Sideshow/splash-new-products.jpg

Either of the two on the right could be Grievous, although the one in the back actually kind of looks like one of his Magna-Guards

[barryo]

[Gipetto0812]

That's true and if they showed off his Guards as well I'm just going roll over and die! :thud:

[Shropt]

2011, year of the droids!

[6Series]

I really like to have him with at least a couple of his guards! So, here's to hoping!

[Khev]

2011, year of the droids!

And bounty hunters, and HT Star Wars, and...

[SilentSurfer]

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l173/digidozer/Alientheory.jpg

And based on todays preview of goodness tomorrow, it probably is the dog or some kind of Alien.

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l173/digidozer/200169.jpg

[galactiboy]

Damn, I was thinking an image was being shown.

Didn't we already have a lot of confirmation that Grievous was close to being done, just not 100% if he would be at SDCC?

judging from the HTxSS article, I think it's now confirmed that we'll see Grievous at SDCC

[pilotsheaven]

Sorry to rain on your parade, but unfortunately the guy in the back is Rock'n'Roll and not a Magna Guard:

[Lordscum]

looks more like a rancor...............:monkey3

Thats an Alien for one of the Alien Films.

[galactiboy]

judging from the HTxSS article, I think it's now confirmed that we'll see Grievous at SDCC

Right, I just meant I was hoping the new thread would also contain photos. But totally understand that his is now "official" about it being at SDCC... just thinking we had "officially" known about the figure for some time.

[gagaliya]

when is this stupid thing coming out, argggg

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

what have SSC planned for the rest of the year and early 2012 if all of these awesome figures are announced and coming out at Comic-Con?

[Yodacappy]

what have SSC planned for the rest of the year and early 2012 if all of these awesome figures are announced and coming out at Comic-Con?

I'm scared to ask...

[darthviper107]

what have SSC planned for the rest of the year and early 2012 if all of these awesome figures are announced and coming out at Comic-Con?

They will all be delayed to next year

[Wor-Gar]

So is this and Fett just being teased? I don't see any preorder items for tomorrow that match this... just the Luke DX maybe.

I'm not sure I can hold it long enough to wait until the weeks following the con to order these.

[lerath666]

They will all be delayed to next year


one can only hope.

[Smudger9]

I can't wait to see what he looks like. If IG-88 is anything to go by he'll be stellar. I'm curious to see if the environment bases are a new standard for 1/6 from here on. IG-88 and Boba both have light-up bases, will the General??

[Darklord Dave]

You know they're coming, though. Probably not now (at SDCC), but they have to be in development already. Pieces like those are exactly why Sideshow needs Hot Toys joint 1:6 engineering/dev talent.

IG-88 is all SSC. I don't know that they need HT for the droids or Grevious - but if it's a collaboration, great!

[darthviper107]

I think Sideshow can do the stuff like Droids, the only issue is that it takes them a long time. Their development is much slower, and the complex stuff like that usually gets delayed.

[abake]

I guess I'll have to start selling stuff now... all these announcements are killer, but my wallet will be hurting quite a lot.

[Buttmunch]

I thought everyone already knew we were getting Grievous at SDCC :confused:

[pixletwin]

Me too. I am pretty sure a SSC Q&A stated that pretty clearly a few months ago. For both Grievous and Boba Fett. :lecture

[Wor-Gar]

I figured Boba was a lock, but I had no idea that the Grievous rumblings were true.

Very happy to get TWO great villains together!

And more curious about the General actually. With the crazy stuff that IG can do, I expect Grievous to be wildly articulate with those four arms.

[BlindVoyeur]

I figured Boba was a lock, but I had no idea that the Grievous rumblings were true.
.

General Grievous is REAL!


and so is that other guy....

[The Craw]

what have SSC planned for the rest of the year and early 2012 if all of these awesome figures are announced and coming out at Comic-Con?Two dozen different Battle Droid variants.:D

[Wor-Gar]

General Grievous is REAL!


He is. And he's comin' this way!

[BlindVoyeur]

Two dozen different Battle Droid variants.:D

ANd the exclusive throne.....

Very excited that Grievous is coming, one of my favorite character designs in Star Wars, he'll make for an awesome figure.

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I guess I'll have to start selling stuff now... all these announcements are killer, but my wallet will be hurting quite a lot.

My wallet has abandoned me, it knew it would die when all of these went up for pre-order.

[The Mike]

Can you imagine an HT Chewbacca done like the POTC figures?

http://www.figures.com/forums/attachments/news/1948d1256949157-hot-toys-mms-planet-apes-soldier-captain-general-last.jpg

I'm glad for those excited for Grevious (I will probably pass since I have the PF and that is enough for a character I'm luke warm about) but a 1:6 Chewbacca.....

http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=147918&d=1294667586

[torque6]

It's good news.

[SilentSurfer]

General Grievous is REAL!

And in two days, apparently.

[galactiboy]

IG-88 is all SSC. I don't know that they need HT for the droids or Grevious - but if it's a collaboration, great!

Have to agree... seems if they can pull of IG-88, then nothing is outside of their reach.

[Gipetto0812]

Can you imagine an HT Chewbacca done like the POTC figures?

I wasn't aware there were Chewbacca type Pirates of the Caribbean figures made by HT?
:monkey3:monkey1

[ST1138]

And in two days, apparently.

Can't freaking wait!

[SilentSurfer]

Oh hell, I might as well just say it. It's been confirmed he's going to be at SDCC.

I also painted Grievous. Hope you all like him when you see him.

[Darth_Fatso]

SS Boba, DX Bespin Luke, HT making SW figure and a 1/6 Grevious! It's great to be a SW fan isn't it?

[Gipetto0812]

and quite expensive as well :thud:

[The Ween]

As much as I think this will be totally cool, I'm limiting myself to just figures from the OT. There's too much goodness just in those.

[ST1138]

Oh hell, I might as well just say it. It's been confirmed he's going to be at SDCC.

I also painted Grievous. Hope you all like him when you see him.

This means it's going to look fantastic!

Damn right it is!

[Wor-Gar]

Hell, dude... the keeper of all secrets!

Great news, but I expected at this point he'd be at SDCC, that's what the blurb said. Glad you painted it though.

They better make you paint every frickin' figure that goes out! Yes, I mean the production ones.

[Khev]

Oh hell, I might as well just say it. It's been confirmed he's going to be at SDCC.

:drool

Man, you've painted a BUNCH of amazing stuff this year huh? :panic:

[Biojex]

Grievous WILL be in my collection!

[SilentSurfer]

This means it's going to look fantastic!

The ops manager at Sideshow was particularly excited about this project, so I made sure to do an extra fine job on it for him and you guys (and me of course; I want one too).

:cuckoo:Shoot me now.

:drool

Man, you've painted a BUNCH of amazing stuff this year huh? :panic:

And I look forward to painting a BUNCH more. There's still lots of untapped awesomeness out there. There's a large 1/6 not-character in the works that I hope I get to paint.

[Batty]

1/6th Death Star! I knew it! :yess:

[SilentSurfer]

Not that large.:lol

I'd so love a 1/6 Slave 1 though. No, I don't think that's on the plan schedule.

[King Darkness]

Instant purchase. :rock :rock :rock

[BuddyGus]

Right when I think I am out. They pull me back in...:gah::thud:

[Matt S]

Man, what a day of news and info!!!!!!!!

[Tee-Kay]

Crossing fingers for a video preview today though i have the feeling our first look at the general will be during preview night tomorrow.

Right There With You Bro!:1-1:

[creature4000]

If GG blows me away... I may have to start buying battle droids.

...as corny as they are, I still liked them! :rock

[inuka]

Grievous displayed with the Battle Droids will be awesome.

[galactiboy]

Since I was meh on Battle Droids, but instantly bought the set offered earlier there is no way I'd miss out on Grievous.

I'm guessing this Comic-Con will see the 2 highest priced figures from HT and Sideshow ever; Jake Sully and Grievous will leave wallets ruined :lol

[DarthNeil]

Well Sully came out to $315... anyone ready to place wagers on Grievous :huh

[hrambo001]

I want both Grievous and Sully :(

I may have to use my rewards points, but at the same time I'd like to get the points I'd get for grievous and sully to score some free figures in the future

[Deathstalker]

Well Sully came out to $315... anyone ready to place wagers on Grievous :huh



Imagine what an eventual Chewbacca will be. That Sully doesn't even have hair.

[galactiboy]

Imagine what an eventual Chewbacca will be. That Sully doesn't even have hair.

I'm guessing he won't be as much... since they could likely use well-fitting suit for the majority of his body and they were able to do great hair work on the POTA faces.

And I'd imagine rather than develop a 100% unique body they could instead modify the Vader armored body.

[Mad Old Lu]

Definitely jumping on Grevious (dirty). I just hope he's not TOO expensive, or my wife will have my head (also dirty)!

[Darth Cruel]

IG-88 is all SSC. I don't know that they need HT for the droids or Grevious - but if it's a collaboration, great!

This is what I have been trying to figure out. Just what is this collaboration between Sideshow and Hot Toys. It seems to me, based on what I have been able to gather, that Hot Toys helped Sideshow with a mannequin, and in return, Sideshow is letting Hot Toys put a few Star Wars items in their DX line (Edit - and based on the first offering, I'd say Sideshow is being pretty smart about which ones they are letting Hot Toys do). It is not like Hot Toys has created a new "Star Wars" line. The first figure is part of Hot Toys' existing conglomeration "DX" line. And it is not being touted as joint venture like the Ultimate Uselessness between Medicom and whoever else that was. I don't think the whole thing is as deep as it seems to be.

Now that I think about it...does Hot Toys even have a movie-specific line? Aren't all of their offerings part of conglomeration lines like Movie Masterpiece and the Deluxe lines?

Well Sully came out to $315... anyone ready to place wagers on Grievous :huh

179.99-189.99 is my guess.

[LOPIE]

I think Grievous is going to cost a fortune. IG88 was $175 OUCH… But you can’t pass up a kick @$$ figure like Grievous if he is done right. We will see and yes I feel your pain Mad Old LU my wife is going to filp when she sees our statement for these figure. I’m so DEAD.

[gibby]

Part of me thinks this may hit 219.99. REALLY hope I'm wrong, and DC is right. :lol

[The Josh]

I saw the Sully figure and about fell out of bed. :lol

I figure Grievous will be around $209.

[LOPIE]

225.00 for Grievous, Sully is over 300.00 OMG

[Gipetto0812]

I'll pre-order Grievous without a moment's hesitation---
:exactly::exactly:

EX WILL be mine! (depending on what it is of course :lol)
I saw the Sully figure and about fell out of bed. :lol

I figure Grievous will be around $209.

yea I'd say around that price as well. Hopefully it's not more though :pray:

[shockwave]

Even though I love to purchase Gevious. I already pre-ordered IG-88 & saving (selling other stuff :gah:) for Fett. But you know what that might all change once I see photos of Grevious. :lol

[galactiboy]

I do fear Grievous will crack the $200 mark... at 7 feet tall and all unique pieces he is going to be one crazy figure.

Not to mention we'll probably get a mess of ignited and unlit sabers.

[Gipetto0812]

I do fear Grievous will crack the $200 mark... at 7 feet tall and all unique pieces he is going to be one crazy figure.

I sure hope so! I hope the cloak isn't the exclusive though.

[galactiboy]

Cloak is a must... I'd guess the exclusive will be one of the lightsabers, or maybe even something CW specific.

[Gipetto0812]

^^definitely

I do hope he comes with a snazy base like Boba and not the typical standard bases

[creature4000]

yeah Grievous with Battle droids flanking/behind him will make a killer display... I'll have to get the vehivle as well. :(

[comiclover47]

If it does come with the ignited sabers then I am in.It would just look to sick having it posed with them all lit up.

lol and here I thought this was year I get out of Star Wars.

[galactiboy]

yeah Grievous with Battle droids flanking/behind him will make a killer display... I'll have to get the vehivle as well. :(

No STAP for me... looks good, but I can easily live w/o it.

[Khev]

Not to mention we'll probably get a mess of ignited and unlit sabers.

I do believe that a SSC rep mentioned that they weren't able to make his four armed look doable in 1/6 scale. So I'm expecting only two with a pair of lit sabers and some hilts for his cloak.

[galactiboy]

That's too bad if its true. Wonder if they were unable to make functional separating arms; or if there is would be an option for swappable (set of 2 or 4) arms?

Not being able to hold 4 lightsabers is kind of a problem on a figure like Grievous.

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, its kind of Grievous' gimmick. Need the four arms in some fashion.

Maybe this is the hunched, creepy Grievous with cape... and the battle-ready Grievous will be their next attempt.

Only Surfer knows for sure.

[Lordscum]

As long as Grievous is $225.00 or less I'll bite. Next year will be expensive!

Anyone have an idea how much Boba Fett will be??

[Khev]

I guess we'll have to see. Maybe they'll surprise and wow us with four arms. I was going to say he only did that for a couple minutes in ROTS but people accustomed to the CW now are pretty accustomed to seeing him bust out the extra limbs pretty regularly.

[Wor-Gar]

It was just such a great reveal -- plus its very 'droid'.

Be like having an R2 without light-up elements. :)


4 arms or not, I'm getting Grievous.

[Tee-Kay]

If it does come with the ignited sabers then I am in.It would just look to sick having it posed with them all lit up.

lol and here I thought this was year I get out of Star Wars.

All 4 sabers lit up and rotating wrists too. That would just be sick.

[Mad Old Lu]

Maybe they can just make them swappable forearms. A set with them together and a set with them split apart.

I think someone in the know (maybe Silent Surfer?) mentioned something about the four arms thing being doable in the CG world but not the real world.

[galactiboy]

The PF has 4 arms... :huh

[Shalamar]

I'll probably pass on the 1/6 Grievous. I have the PF already, which is an awesome piece.

[Gipetto0812]

i thought in the sneak peak vid from awhile ago (12 days of sideshow was it?) showed that greivous would have 4 arms?

[MaulFan]

Four arms is key, and I feel like for quality control and ability to hold weapons, it should be trade out arms like Hasbro did on their 3D cartoon Grievous. I fear working arms would mean hands with a loose grip. I'm curious if he'll include the blaster that was exclusive to ROTS Obi-Wan.

[Gipetto0812]

I think for the hands they may go the Greedo route and just sculpt the hands with whatever accessory he comes with like the lightsabers

[MaulFan]

I think for the hands they may go the Greedo route and just sculpt the hands with whatever accessory he comes with like the lightsabers

I'm fine with that too. Ultimately, I want him to hold weapons well for cool poses and this was one of the weak points on the Hasbro 12 incher.

[Darth Mitchell]

Not a figure I really want, but with the making of Grievous and the Battle droids everything should be possible to make in 1:6 form... Can't wait to see what kind of things we can expect!! :D

[gagaliya]

Grievous is considered a jedi/sith right? since he can power the lightsabers

[pixletwin]

No. Grievous is neither Jedi nor Sith.

Han Solo could also power a lightsaber, if you'll recall.

[The Mike]

Anyone can power the lightsabers, there is an on/off switch. He cannot use the Force so he is not a Jedi or Sith.

[Natrix]

Grievous is considered a jedi/sith right? since he can power the lightsabers

Anyone can turn on a lightsaber, remember Han on Hoth?

[Cocoboloboy]

Grievous is considered a jedi/sith right? since he can power the lightsabers

Nope. He was just trained a bit by Dooku.

[Gebhi]

Yeehaw glad to see this and IG88 at same time

[Matt S]

So if IG-88 is $175, whats the price on this one? $225 - you know the exclusive will be the cape again

[galactiboy]

I think for the hands they may go the Greedo route and just sculpt the hands with whatever accessory he comes with like the lightsabers

Does Grievous have distinct left and right hands, or are they all the same?

If all the same I could see sculpted hands holding weapons to be a good option... but if he has a distinct right and left that could get very complicated.

[Gipetto0812]

i believe both hands are the same judging fromt his pic
http://www.geekosystem.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Grievous-550x401.gif

[galactiboy]

Looks like you are right... and if you split them in half; the top right hand could act as the bottom left and vice versa.

[melanarus]

I thought it was a shame Grevious would have only a single pair of arms but when you look at the photo you can see it could be difficult to have all those moving parts.

Actually it's still an amazing droid that I'd get, my only concern though is how FRAGILE are all the tiny moving parts going to be? (I've broken several really tiny plastic parts gently handling them before, and breaking something on this figure would really be a disaster, you'd lose 20-30% of the value of the figure with one snap)

[gagaliya]

well they have to make the 12" a bit different than the PF. 2 hands is really a big disappointment for me though, that's what made him one of the coolest droids 4 hands with 4x lightsabre. Wonder if i should just bite the bullet and get the PF version off ebay. Guess will decide once I know how much this cost.

[ProgMatinee]

Collect because you like something, not because you're treating it as an investment. If our chief concern is how much it's worth down the road, may I suggest you invest in something more solid and lucrative.

For example, in my case, My retirement/investment plan is to own property and rent it out. additionally, if need be, said property can be liquidated for a great deal of money all at once.

Oh, don't. The guy I sold it to makes more money in a week than you make in a whole year. He couldn't care less. He wanted it, I had it, he bought it. Done.

Ugh! that smile, that's enough to put me off the next dx figure!:lol

[FlyAndFight]

Glad for all of you who want Grievous, but no matter how good he turns out, I'll pass.

But bring on Chewie and the Droids, Sideshow/Hot Toys! :rock

:lecture:lecture:lecture:lecture:lecture:lecture

[Calcifer]

I will buy grievous, but i will try and think of him as that badass Grievous form the cartoon network shown and not that lame excuse of a villain from the movie.

[Matt S]

I plan on supporting Grevious. He does well, Chewbacca is next in the large scale 1:6

[Marvel-ous]

When are we supposed to see Grievous exactly? This week?

[Batty]

I don't care what the price is, I need Grievous in my collection. I've always had pangs of regret selling the PF.

Especially since it was the exclusive. But I decided to get out of PF collecting, so... :(

[Wor-Gar]

I know a lot of people don't like the movie version of Grievous, but he's one of my favorite SW characters. Alot of people saw him and wanted him to be this mechanical bad-*** Maul type, but I'm fine with him being an over-confident fiend character, hunched, rubbing his hands like a creep.

I could do without the hacking cough though.

The hacking cough that happened to belong to George Lucas. :lol

Just from a design aspect I think Grievous is excellent.

[darthviper107]

Tomorrow, it's preview night so if Sideshow doesn't post everything else, then someone will be sure to post pics from Sideshow's booth.

[Glennfett]

hope the Ex isnt the cape like with the PF....
this needs to be a ppo.

[jason2885]

My big question will be if he includes the blaster as it was the Obi-Wan ROTS exclusive way back in the beginning. It would make Obi exclusive pretty much pointless with this being released.


I dont know why I thought of this but I did and just had to tell someone.

:lol

That was the predicted problem for Grievous way back in 2006!

I'm sure SS will eat their words and provide a very nice blaster for this Grievous.

It would be like offering Jango Fett without his helmet because it came with Mace Windu in 2006.

[darthmadonna]

It is just wrong how excited I am for this figure. he he he :D

[YoNoSe]

It's just wrong that we are being bombarded with all this coolness at once. Grievous, Fett, HT Luke, IG-88. We need like a Tonner Jar Jar to even things out.

All they need to do is make it somehow different from the one that came with Obi-wan.

They could even make the blaster His exclusive as well.

If hthey take the obvious approach, they do it like Greedo. mold a hand with the blaster Already in it. Problem solved.

"Exclusive accessory of Grevious's Blaster and hand holding it" or some-such.

[The Mike]

They could even make the blaster His exclusive as well.

This would go against their statement of never reusing Exs.

If they take the obvious approach, they do it like Greedo. mold a hand with the blaster Already in it. Problem solved

This is most likely the route they'll take and make it a standard exclusive.

[Darth Cruel]

I think the most common sensical path would be to throw the rule about never reusing an exclusive item out the window.

[Glennfett]

i think a good Ex would be the Electropole that his bodyguards wield....you know...just incase we dont get the Magna Guard yet :P

[Gipetto0812]

That's what I was thinking. I'd prefer that over the blaster I already have.

Nah, the Jango helmet that came with Mace wasn't ever meant to be worn on a body. It would be a totally new sculpt and thus not break the exclusive rule.

I think the Blaster hand like Greedo that others have been mentioning would work the best. I'd imagine he'd need lightsaber and blaster hands because of those tiny fingers, especially the split versions.

[comiclover47]

so is this confirmed 2 arms or 4 arms?

didn't know Obi Wan came with a blaster.Hate playing catch up on figures when your so late to the game

[Buttmunch]

I'd bet on swapable arms for both looks.

[Elder_Predator2]

The days of $50 figures, how I miss them.

[SilentSurfer]

I do believe that a SSC rep mentioned that they weren't able to make his four armed look doable in 1/6 scale. So I'm expecting only two with a pair of lit sabers and some hilts for his cloak.

Only SilentSurfer knows for sure.

What you may see soon is a prototype, and all the mechanics have not been finalized. No, CG does not translate into actuality, but Sideshow will not release this figure without the four arm option. I promise.

[The Josh]

I would say the blaster will be standard. Ex I would say would probably be some lightsaber or something like that.

[Khev]

Sideshow will not release this figure without the four arm option. I promise.

[Wor-Gar]

"May" see? No, say it ain't so. We 'MUST' see. :)

Do you know, or can you say, if we will be able to order Grievous during the Con?

[Creighton]

I betting on a magna guard staff for the exclusive. The cape with pockets is mandatory. I don't think it will be a lightsaber or hilt because collectors have plenty already from other figures.

I wish the exclusive was the burning head and charred chest piece. How awesome would that be?

[galactiboy]

Thanks for the infor Nathan... I don't need the arms to be fully functioning (coming together and apart) but as long as I can choose between 2 and 4 arms I'll be a happy camper :rock

[darthmadonna]

Oh maybe they can have an extra set of interchangeable arms like Hasbro's grievous from the Clone Wars line. Arms just pop in at the shoulder, one set closed and another open.

[Khonsu70]

Wor-Gar, Silent Surfer cannot confirm or deny anything, until after official reveals. It's all good.

I would be perfectly content with swap out arms for the 2 versus 4 arm look. Molded hands with weapons would be fine also (especially if they could make the sabers light up!).

I liked the 'Magna Guard staff' exclusive accessory until I thought about it for a few seconds - what if SSC makes the Magna Guards down the road? Would be kinda lame without their staffs. Would much prefer "battle-damaged" lightsaber-severed arm(s) for an exclusive!

[vareika]

how much do you think this figure will go for?

[Matt S]

how much do you think this figure will go for?

$225-$250 Range

[Tee-Kay]

Magnaguard staff as an exclusive won't happen. As per SSC exclusive "rule" they couldn't add it to the magnaguard equipment later on.

I guess Jango Fett won't have a helmet then. :panic:

[MaulFan]

Kinda cheap looking to some, but a fun exclusive could be a switch oit head with flame coming from his eyes.

[THX-182]

He doesn't have to come with an exclusive. Lots of Sideshow figures have been released without exclusive items.

I guess Jango Fett won't have a helmet then. :panic:

And I guess Grievous can't come with his blaster because Obi-Wan already did with his exclusive.

[shocktrooper_au]

I like the idea of the flames to put in the eyes as an ex

[Biojex]

Kinda cheap looking to some, but a fun exclusive could be a switch oit head with flame coming from his eyes.

I'd get that.

[Tee-Kay]

I guess Jango Fett won't have a helmet then. :panic:

Well, for the helmet, the one coming with Mace is neither hollow, connectable to a body or sporting inside deco making it distinctable from any coming with a future Jango.



And I guess Grievous can't come with his blaster because Obi-Wan already did with his exclusive.

For the blaster, it's a little more tricky. I admit there could be a fault in my reasonning ;)

[mfoga]

I guess Jango Fett won't have a helmet then. :panic:
Or the battle driods, oh wait. :lol

[ProgMatinee]

I think the exclusive will be extra lightsabers.

[Khev]

The best exclusive would be the white cape he wore in the original CW series, IMO.

[THX-182]

If I had to guess, I'd say the exclusive will be a unique lightsaber hilt of some kind. That's really all they can do that isn't a "must have" for collectors.

[Marvel-ous]

What time today can we expect the reveal? JFC I hate waiting.

[Yodacappy]

What time today can we expect the reveal? JFC I hate waiting.

:exactly: I was thinking the same thing.

[mfoga]

There is no guarantee any of this will be revealed today.

Didnt they put new items on the floor each day last year (well maybe not sunday).

[darthviper107]

No, they were all out there on preview night

[mfoga]

No, they were all out there on preview nightReally I remember stuff showing up later in week, maybe that was a different year.

[galactiboy]

He doesn't have to come with an exclusive. Lots of Sideshow figures have been released without exclusive items.

And I guess Grievous can't come with his blaster because Obi-Wan already did with his exclusive.

He likely will since Sideshow will want to get as many direct sales as possible on a figure like this.

As for the blaster... is the Grievous any different than a Battle Droid blaster? Because they come with 2 of them :lol

But if it is different (and Sideshow decides to include it) I imagine they will just create a specific hand molded to the gun (like Greedo) to prevent breaking the rule.

However, in the past some exclusives have been reused; for instance the arrow stabbing hand on Legolas was given to Old Ben Kenobi for his beard twirling look.

[Khev]

I think a five year hiatus on reusing exclusive accessories is more than enough time. Its not like people spent extra money on ROTS Obi-Wan last week because of the blaster and are now getting "screwed." :lol

[Tee-Kay]

Battle Droîds and Grievous blasters are definitely two distinct ones.

[MaulFan]

However, in the past some exclusives have been reused; for instance the arrow stabbing hand on Legolas was given to Old Ben Kenobi for his beard twirling look.

They rationalized that saying that the Ex. rule wouldn't apply accross licenses because people may not buy both.

[darthviper107]

Really I remember stuff showing up later in week, maybe that was a different year.

Why would they put out more collectibles during the week? The reason they are there is to make sure everyone sees their product.

Well I know they have done it at least once at SDCC and did it at Star Wars Celebration.

[bloodgear]

There are a few differences between the Battle Droid blaster and Grievous'. That is what they'll probably do though.

[darthviper107]

Well I know they have done it at least once at SDCC and did it at Star Wars Celebration.

I don't remember them ever doing that at SDCC.

And I don't remember them being at a Star Wars Celebration either.

[mfoga]

I cant give you exact items at SDCC but the speeder bike waslike that at CIV and I want to say bronze vader was too. There were spots for them but no product in the begining.

[darthviper107]

Celebration IV was so long ago though.

And as far as SDCC, I can guarantee all the Star Wars items were on display on preview night, at least for the last 5 years or so that I've paid attention.

[Tee-Kay]

Here are both blasters, Battle Droïd left and Grievous right.

[galactiboy]

Thanks Tee-Kay :duff Similar on the surface, but clearly a lot of differences.

So are his extra arms hidden or nonexistent?

Looks awesome either way!!!!

He doesnt have extra arms. In the movies he can split the arms seen into 4 arms

[bobamike]

I think I have to go change my shorts!

[Indiana Fett]

Definite must-have! :rock :rock :rock

[Gipetto0812]

from the looks judging by this one pic, i'd say the arms will switch out. the ones in the pic don't look able to split

[Darth Waller]

Now that looks worth a purchase. :thud:

[Emperor]

This is just speculation, but it looks like his arms authentically split apart. Either way this is going to be the best 1:6 figure SS has ever produced.
