12" Inch Figure Dewback A New Hope

[IrishJedi]

Big difference between the Dewback and Jabba's Throne or Yoda's Hut is that is sure to be rotocast vinyl (ala Jabba) and not solid polystone.

These will becheaper to produce than those two items. Then again, I'm not saying that will prevent them from charging polystone prices (see: Boba Fett PF).

You can see that the Dewback has a sandy base (aka $250 polystone slab).

Well, there ya go.

And didn't the 1977 Dewback have elephant feet or was that just made up by the original Kenner toy?

No the animal with elephant feet was the Bantha. They were really just dressed up elephants anyway so Im not sure what a Bantha is suppose to look like. A Dewback on the other hand has always been an overgrown lizard.

Yeah if my memory serves right they never made a full filming Dewback, it was only a head,neck and back. With a lack of source material Kenner took creative liberties in their release of the dewback. Although they are not really elephant feet they are pretty chunky compared to what the dewback ended up with after the SE versions.

Welcome aboard. If your ID means anything, you can clearly afford this.... and one for me too.

Not sure about the price being set yet, they know the cost and the max and min. Think they will gauge recent sales and go from there, but I agree 350$ min if not 400$ with the trooper, toss in shipping internationally and that 450$. I simply cant justify that anymore.

Besides, I think alot of people saw how Jabba sat around and went for way cheaper later on, think that has hurt sales in general for this line, gohastings and babybirds dont help either

Right they probably have an idea of the price range. My point was what we say is gonna have little effect on what they do.

MOst likely, as the piece appears to be epic and as such many will buy, but if the sentiment seems to be "to expensive right now", maybe they would see how peeps react and judge accordingly. As much as Id love to grab this, 400$, plus INT shipping and duties is over 500$ for me. Ill have no choice but to get later on cheaper somewhere or pass altogether

Hell he's got enough money to buy us all one

It seems they may have been rhino feet.

It was a prop rhino that was used under the head and back of the dewback originally back in the 70's. this would make sense now as to why the Kenner dewback had the chunky feet.

Right if people back off they will see that and react properly because they do listen to us. Especially when it comes to how things affect all fans here or outside the US. When I say what we say as far as price being what we think it will cost that I don't think does much of anything.

announcing the arrival of a future dewback, just to please a lot of collectors overseas, we now expect to see the first pictures
the beast and especially the price.

good on my side, I already dewback Hasbro with a sideshow sandtrooper
(Here are two photos I started custom made​​!)

[Puay]

My guess is this did be one of the main Sideshow attractions at SDCC.

Probably be a year later before being shipped, that ought to give me ample time to save up for the purchase. Lets hope it wouldn't carry a price tag.

That is sick man

 

[jkno]

This looks like a very happy Dewbie

 

[Nico62fr]

Darksith, your work is awesome ! But you have a "baby dewback" if the sideshow version is going to be even bigger than yours.

 

[darksith72]

not a baby dewback !!

idea in my work, I rather think of another species of dewback, which is smaller, stronger and faster, for missions of reconnaissance and infiltration with one or two Sandtrooper.
