Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[TheFiend]

Are #2 and #3 only available for order via Sideshow?

If so, are they "US exclusives" (like the mythos line) which means non-US residents can order from ADs?

Or, are they only available via SS for international folks too?

There are 2 Ex's the one with the blue coat is exclusively from SSC, like the Mythos line.

No way I'm preordering any of these. I'll wait until after release.

 

[DarthAlias]

No, Ex#1 has both heads with brown jacket

Ex#2 has both heads with blue jacket.

Right but if i want both jackets and both heads, i need to buy a parted out jacket.

Alex, I'm glad you we're here for this. You cleared that up quickly. Did you anticipate some confusion, is that why you were here?

I've been watching this thread for months, ha! But I also knew some confusion would probably happen, so I wanted to clear up any questions about all the various versions being offered.

So then have the basic respect for your customers and retailers to offer it as a regular option.

Sorry but no regular version with the Blue Jacket will be offered. The whole figure (of this version) in itself is Exclusive and will only be available through Sideshow

Probably this (the site has crashed). I wonder if this is not a very cynical cash grab at the expense of retailers and international customers.

With a 50% mark up minimum when selling to retail, Sideshow might make a few hundred thousand dollars extra by effectively offering two exclusives.

Yeah.




I really thought they'd chuck in both, but whatever. Blue it is for me.

 

[TheFiend]

This is one time I would absolutely NOT want to get stuck with a reg.

 

[Darthrazz]

Yeah.

Blue as well for me.

 

[Darkseed]

Could be two versions with head sculpt as the exclusive.

Bingo!!!! It wasn't that difficult of a call. Folks interpreted it one way and it stuck in their mind then reality and disappoint hit.

I am not digging the blue in the pic, I may stick with brown unless head sculpts offered are different.

The non-helmeted head looks great! Makes an easy upgraded Bespin Han possible! Now just need to decide on the color of coat.

Sorry but no regular version with the Blue Jacket will be offered. The whole figure (of this version) in itself is Exclusive and will only be available through Sideshow.

Which is the whole problem.

You are Janey-on-the-spot when it is time to tell us how to spend our money. It looks as cynical as can be.

Did any of you at SSC even deign to notice that the blue coat won the colour poll here?

Or are you convinced you know what fans 'really' want like that Destro figure?

 

[TheFiend]

I'm trying to picture that non-helmeted head with a fedora....

Read the SDCC announcement. It was stated he'd come with both jackets. They could have offered a hint that he'd be available with EITHER jacket. Grammar's a *****.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Blue as the exclusive makes perfect sense to me. Kinda like that it'll force people to put their money where their mouth is vis-a-vis prop accuracy vs screen perception. Will definitely order the blue exclusive on Thursday without hesitation.

 

[stshammgod]

I know theres another head sculpt too, but that is NOT a lot for $200...

 

[Sachiel]

Is this the blue one or the brown one?

It's the purple one.

I wish companies would make the blue coat more like this (blue/gray). They make it too blue. Much bluer than it looks on-screen.

Ah, the never ending quest for the grail...

Exactly. I specifically took notice of that and remembered it. I thought for sure it would be both. It'd be nice but oh well. I dig the blue.

lets get that site bacvk up so we can see the pictures, heh?

Well, lookslike I'll be grabbing the blue version, and trying to find a parted out brown coat later.

Sucks, but whatever. blue EX should have come with BOTH coats.

 

[FLOSI]

Blue with extra head it is!
