[Wor-Gar]

Here's some interesting pictures of the Sideshow Star Wars figures from Chinese ToyFair...

Bigger pictures here...

i wonder what's up with anakin's tunic? it looks longer than the other photos we've seen, and it looks like the sashes are fabric, not leather.

 

[Darklord Dave]

So Hot Toys are importing Sideshow into China? Makes sense I guess.

Look at the crazy detail on Ani's arm!

damn, they all look so great! i cant wait to have them!

So Kenobi's tunic is going to be pretty white.

Otherwise kewl beans mean gene.

Oh and Solo looks dead on to me.

Actually, that is a toy show in Hong Kong.
The figures are displayed in Hot Toys counter.

I have asked their staffs, some of the accessories/costumes Sideshow sent them are missing. Thus, they have to complete it by mix-and-match with Hasbro stuffs.

For example, Obi-Wan's belt is the same as Anakin. Anakin is holding Obi's saber while Obi has Anakin's saber on his belt, etc.

I think the costume was a mock-up. The robe hasn't been fixed in those pics either. It should be blacker.

Loving the robot arm!! I might pose my Sith Anakin with that arm just to add to the unsettling appearance of the character....

So Kenobi's tunic is going to be pretty white.

Even though it's easily my most-anticipated purchase this year, Obi-Wan's colors have seemed off to me since the first promotional pics.

Keep in mind the nature of Sideshow photography.

If it comes down to it, we can give Obi's tunic a tea bath to brown it up a bit.

Looking real good. Obi-Wan's tunic is a little off that photo but nothing god awful. Dave is right the detail on Anakins arm is amazing.:chew

I don't know what you mean by this. Is SS photography known for being misleading? I've been a casual collector for years and never noticed that.

I figured the lighting had a bit to do with it, but clearly it's not going to be an exact match. They're just too far apart, to my eye.

 

[EVILFACE]

SS figures are 100% better in person than in pics.

If it comes down to it, we can give Obi's tunic a tea bath to brown it up a bit.

That's a service I'd definitely have to pay you to perform. I wouldn't have the cajones to try.

Pay someone to stick a little shirt in a cup of tea

Pay someone to stick a little shirt in a cup of tea

meesa scared

Pay someone to stick a little shirt in a cup of tea

Hey!! Waddayadoin? Let the man talk!

But seriously, I don't think it's going to be an issue. we're going to be nuts for Kenobi.

 

[nash]

I thought you said to give obis tunic a tea bag....

 

[Sachiel]

The way Obi-Wan's tunic lays on him looks much nicer. The whole thing actually looks nicer than before. Still too light though.

Is it me or does Obi-wan look about 20% better than when they showcased him in February? The FS looks alot more life-like to me.

But that cloth sash on Anakin does have me a bit worried...
