A little concern comes to mind when I see this image. If the hands have a tight grip on the handles and in case the figure slips off the bike, would that break delicate parts on the handle grip?

Perhaps I am thinking too much, but I had this bad experience with my Old Ben figure when the figure toppled and broke the light saber in his hands.

That is a photo from the FX miniature.

From the in person photos I have seen..the plastic looks thin and cheap on it.. i know its a proto.. so heres hoping.. but for my money.. the hasbro version is amazing once you give it a proper paint job

Yep. This is not a Sideshow product. But from ILM.

Here's what I grabbed. I tried to get the controls. +rep is appreciated!

Thanks for posting these - not a huge amount of pics of the bike up-close like this.

Will have to pull out the Hasbro bike and see how it compares up close sculpt-wise.

How do you +rep?

Is it better to compare it with the studio model? Time to check my Star Wars Chronicle book and other
star wars books.

Many thanks for the awesome pics!
I hope Sideshow use metal struts for the 'forks' leading to the nose cone.. do not want plastic, which may sag over time.

It's more about checking my bank balance to see if I absolutely need the upgrade to the SSC bike. My frugal mind is already thinking how good a weathered Hasbro bike will look with a SSC Biker Scout on it...

There's just way too much good stuff coming, something's gotta give!

I'm going to get the Sideshow version but I'm interested to know from owners, if the 'nose' on the large Hasbro has sagged at all?

Mine hasn't at all, but it wasn't on display consistently (maybe 6 months at a time as I rotated display over the years.)

I have my Hasbro bike on top of a cabinet for years, no sagging at all. It was one of Hasbro's best pieces, the only 12" I still have today.

For the price they are going to ask I hope it doesn't "feel" cheap.

Does anyone know how big it is? The hasbro one looks a little big compared to my figure
And that's what might swing it for me

Thanks for the images, rubio95.

The attentiveness to details (can't speak for accuracy yet ) on the bike is most impressive. Some parts look fragile though.

Definitely a must buy for me. Fingers crossed that price don't go beyond $300?..

I believe it may be slightly oversized. Maybe due to those Hasbro dolls being a bit oversize/chunky versus higher-end stuff.

Will have to put the bike next to some SSC/HT to really judge, though the Biker that comes with the bike is actually slender for Hasbro (oddly, there were two totally different versions of the Hasbro 12" Biker Scout.)

My scout is a custom on a ttm body and he's too small to fit the bike. Looking at the Ssc pics there's seems smaller - I just wondered if anyone who went to sdcc had the hasbro and could make a quick quess- parison

If its hollow (I hope), it wont.
