SSC Duke 12 inch figure

[yodasan]

Looks so awesome. I just wish the Ex went up today.

Funny, I preordered it yesterday.

I dont like his head. Its way waaaay too cartoonish for me. It look like a crossbreed of Arnold Schwartzeggar and Duke Nuke Em. I may have to pass on this. Im not feeling this.

I just recently picked up Snakes off Amazon.com for $103+ shipping which was pretty much the best deal I could find. I think they may still have some.

Thanks man. I think I got the last one. $126 shipped. Not a penny over what I would have paid straight from Sideshow.

I can't wait for this Friday but I'm gonna have to cancel the reg version I thought was the only version of this guy!

Exactly. I was complaining about that a few posts back as well.

I could also nit pick and say that he needs extra magazines for his sidearm as well, but the figure is pretty damn good.

Snake Eyes was always my favorite Joe character and I love the figure, but this figure of Duke is really growing on me...

I am guessing all the gear is manufactured by Hot Toys?..looks very similar.

i'm not seeing it. looks like sideshow gear to me.

No knife, no biggie. I'm sure you can pick up a 1/6th Ka-bar on ebay, no?

That pic with the apple is a bit strange...

Looks like the same Hot Toys water bottle that came with my mountain ops sniper.

The gun and side arm leg holster looks very Hot Toys as well.

Yup. And Sideshow's artillery is better than Hot Toys, so I don't know why they'd go to them for help.

Sideshow makes Tanks?..i can't remember seeing Hot Toys ever making any as well.

Thats cos they both look like the real life versions. Unless you want to say Hot Toys makes 1:1 military stuff for real world use as well.

Its a strong possiblility that its Hot Toys though, since Hot Toys worked with SS on armored figures and i think even Snake Eyes was a colaboration with Hot Toys..don't quote me on that though.

Point being is, to any owners of Hot Toys PCU or ACU Mountain OPS Sniper...they may see a similarity here with, yea a water bottle and a few other parts. Only way to know for sure is more close up pics of the gear, or its confirmed parts of the figure are HT.

You're still wrong. Hot Toys had nothing to do with Snake Eyes either. They assisted with the armor body, and that's it.

I make my own 1:6 knives from steel so that's not an issue for me...

actually to be honest you can actually put together pretty much everything on this figure from loose 1/6 parts already available on the market... with the exception of the head and the laser rifle...

i'll probably just pick up the laser rifle loose and Kitbash the rest myself.

But he really really should come with a knife... what kind of soldier doesn't carry a knife?!?!?!?

Its kind of like the cheap LCD television one buys at say walmart, which is Samsung parts inside but, goes by a totally different name.

Its quite possible its the same thing with the gear i am talking about here.I am not saying it is in fact a fact!!..you have to read what i am saying, not read what you want to hear from me so, you can leave insulting replies.

 

[devilof76]

Hot Toys would not let Sideshow take credit for their work.

So if both Sideshow and HotToys get the water bottle from the same 3rd-party factory in China, does that mean it's HotToys water bottle? I've seen that same bottle on several other figures as well.
