Just...WOW. If that is truly what they sent out for the second batch, they should be embarrassed. If I had received that knowing that that first batch was so significantly different (ie: better quality) I would have sent it back or a refund. The quality drop is huge.

This makes me sad and disappointed for SSC. I have liked the last few 1:6 scale SW offerings like the two Mythos figures, the Skiff Lando and yes, even the deluxe ROTJ Luke. The all have a different level of quality from other companies, but they were decent figures and a lot of fun.

It's like they cannot offer anything new for 1:6 scale SW so they just keep doing these reissues that seem to end up lessor quality than the initial release. It would almost be better if they just didn't bother if they are not going to at the very least offer the figures with the same level of quality and materials as they did they original release.

At this rate, SSC is going to end up as nothing more than a distribution center for other sixth-scale companies and just offering their wildly expensive statues.

Just really glad I got the first one.

beautiful pic as always Jedibear :clap

But I think SS is already headed that way. The X-men 1/6 line seems to be the only thing that's really thriving for them in the 1/6 category with pretty quick sell outs/waitlists. The DC line is slowly dying I think just like the SW line has.

Fantastic shot! But yeah, glad I got the first batch too - who thinks that anyone is gonna change a fig for the worse mid-production? Tho ASMUS got a rash of *"#@ when their 1/6 Frodo started showing up with dark eyes vs. the original blue.
 
I have a custom black cloak for Luke but can’t get myself to remove his brown one.

Nearly 40 years of brown cloak, and after 30 seconds of black cloak and people are ready to switch ... :dunno
 
Thanks jedibear, I get a ton of enjoyment out of seeing your pictures when you post them. I’m starting to learn how to stand back and look at the “big picture“ before snapping a shot.
I have some POs that I’m pretty excited about but just like the rest of you, the wait is grinding on me.
Thanks again!
 
This is one of those figures I forgot about. I'm sure it's the Disney+ show talk that reminded me but after reading here about the "new" body issues and paint apps on the face, I just wanted to post "sonuva*****!"

Thanks. (y)
 
Yea I noticed that as well at the end of the episode. Pretty much the exact outfit from this figure which was sort of cool to see not going to lie. Wonder if that’ll get a spike in orders from sideshow or if Sideshow got a little cut for the design.

Yep, not gonna lie I sort of am tempted to get this figure after the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale. Probably will wait to see what Hot Toys offers first though.

I'm in the same boat. I have a coupon to use, but I think HT will do a better head sculpt. I'm glad that mythos look is canon now. I want mythos kenobi with an eopi, then I can pair them with Qui Gon in his robes.
