Who will be the SDCC 2012 Sideshow Exclusive?

[devilof76]

HT Alice. TA might still have some.

Nope, but thanks.

They still have that badass shotgun though.

Somebody else is giving clues? Oh wow, that really narrows it down when combined with my hint.

well i guess lt. falcon will be on my shelf then

To my knowledge, Falcon only came with a shotgun.
The AUG will most likely come with Baroness since the PF had one. But the standard AUG has been done to death in 1/6, I just ordered two different models this past week, yet the versions that are currently in use with modern militaries; the F88 Austeyr or the AUG A3 have yet to be seen. I hope Sideshow is aware of this and does a version of the AUG that hasn't been made yet.

Oops, not wanting to upset anyone here but the version i saw had an AUG with a sniper scope... could it be an international version produced for the UK?

The reason why i suggested a Mini-14 was that Falcon is a 1980's former Green Beret, that was the weapon of choice for an 80's ex-Green Beret . Plus they already gave Flint a sawn off Remington Model 870, and i believe the one YoJoe says he comes with looks very much like a Harrington & Richardson Pardner pump action.

Nope, OG only came with a Remington, radio pack and survival knife.

If they're going to vary from the original and give him a primary over the shotgun, a CAR shorty or XM177 would be a far more appropriate choice than using an AUG. Also ARVN advisers had a BDU top that tucked in. Falcon's clearly isn't and looks like the standard BDU top, so standard Tigers would work fine.

I forgot the knife , should they go old school Randall or a Rambo-esque style survival knife?

Its pretty easy to pick up a set of tigers to switch if you chose to do so, but i'm not saying to give him exact ARVN bdu's more a version of them thats like the RAH figure wears.

is there some picture that all this is coming from that I don't know about?

Never heard of this. Where did you see it?

Are you sure it wasn't just the wrong weapon? Marauder Gun Gunners makes an AUG w/scope in 1/18 scale...

I think you're mixing him up with someone else.

I think Sideshow will most likely just recycle Stalker's BDUs for Falcon. As for the primary, I'm not in agreement at all. The mini-14 was notoriously inaccurate and near impossible to shoot on full auto. A Carl Gustav or MP5 would've been a better choice. Otherwise, the weapon would've been the choice of the operator based on the mission parameters (likely an M16/M4 variant).

Well, if they don't want to copy the SSC Flint's main Shotgun, a cool modern upgrade would be the Kel Tec KSG:

I'd be more then happy with this.

It was on Blood For The Baron website if i remember right. I just looked it up on YoJoe, it seems that Hasbro repackaged the V1 Falcon and gave him an AUG for a 1992 convention.

Yeah, the only figures that should be packaged with Mini-14s are 1980s A-Team characters (which would be awesome, btw).

Maybe he meant M-14?

Ah, those. Yes, I had forgotten about the early convention figures. Factory overstock, from what I understand. They came with some crap weapons - personally, I don't think they "count", since it seems like they just used whatever they had left over, with little to no thought put into the choices.

I don't think an AUG really suits him, to be quite honest. I think some kind of shotgun, pistol, and assault rifle (preferably something different this time) combo would be best. Backpack/radio with a big honking survival knife strapped to it would be terrific!

Could/would they model the face after Don Johnson?

 

[Adrosi]

Are we a month out from SDCC already? Yet no announcement? Am I jumping the gun in thinking we will not be seeing one and instead have to settle for a late july-August reveal?

 

[sithjedi171]

There will be one. There has to be.

There's a SDCC exclusive. But with Sideshow playing dumb, impossible expectations on the Facebook community I don't think we'll see an announcement until he's at the warehouse. So get funds in order. I have a feeling he may very well be an in-stock purchase.

What exactly do you mean by "in-stock purchase" Nam ?

You think so?
I dunno, think we get nothing this year seeing as last years is still in stock

Have money ready. I don't think he's gonna be a preorder. I think it'll be an in-stock purchase which'll mean you're billed immediately.

Which would be exactly why we're not getting a variant this year, but an original figure.

 

[teemu]

Falcon is coming folks!

Like the Desert Officer. It was never a preorder but a straight up instock offering and out the door in 24.

Right, I gotcha.
