Sideshow - Bomb-Squad Clone Trooper

[DarthTrafford]

Another 1/6 announcement for SDCC.
I was hoping it'd be less clony!
A buy for me though.

 

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Um was this guy even in CW? I don't recall a bomb disposal squad.

First the Cad Bane trooper disguise and now this

Yes they were in blue shadow virus and mystery of one thousand moons

 

[Shaun & Ed Fan]

$149.99...NOPE!

 

[Kibagami]

$150!? God damn it!

 

[Kodiak3d]

Clones...now in pumpkin flavor!

I'll pass on this one, but I don't begrudge those who love every clone that Sideshow makes. If it makes you happy, go for it

 

[boba flint]

Not surprising Sideshow is doing this. I guarantee they will do this sort of thing with their R2-D2 and C-3P0

 

[galactiboy]

Ugh... at least spread the clone announcements around a bit

 

[Pixelpiper]

There are a few extra hands here not included elsewhere right? Might need one or two of those for a few funny poses.

They are also putting out arc echo and fives

 

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

What do you mean, R2 really only has one look unless you mean other astromech droids

Agree 100%

 

[MyenShi]

My head hurts. I have a lot of clones, but this one...

They were on two episodes of The Clone Wars in small roles, and even Filoni admitted they were basically repaints because of budget constraints. So this is a repaint figure of a repaint CGI model. This is too meta. I need a drink.

"In the 'Blue Shadow Virus' commentary, series Director Dave Filoni stated because of production reasons and limited resources while creating the episode, a unique suit of armor for the Bomb Squad was unable to be used. This was due to the fact that there were many new characters in the episode and for production reasons they decided to use the standard armor."

I don't agree with the SS Clone/HT Iron Man comparison.

Each of these clones are separate individual beings. Sure a couple have been double dipped (Rex, now Echo and Fives) but for the most part they represent distinct and separate characters.

The Iron Man releases are all of the same character. They are pretty much "Buy the latest Tony Stark figure, now with new hat".

They are "Clones" you know, lots of the same is kind of their deal

However, I'd disagree about IM. I'm sick of all the armors , but many have multiple new parts and some are completely unique sculpts. Now Heath Ledger Jokers, those are worse than all the reused Clones and IMs combined

That's what mean. There will be every color astromech and protocol droid.

I can't help but feel if the Prequels didn't exist we'd have a lot more OT goodness.

 

[SOU7567]

The amount of complaining in here is ridiculous.

This is just business as usual for Sideshow.

ROFLMAO!

As much as people want to hate on the prequels, there is no denying they led to a massive increase in the amount of merchandising. I'd say we have more cool OT stuff because of the prequels as opposed to less.

 

[devilof76]

Lame.

Where's Walrus Man?

The amount of complaining in here is ridiculous.

This is just business as usual for Sideshow.

Why is it ridiculous to not be impressed with the way they do business?
