Title: Sideshow 12" Mace Windu
Post by: JesseVader08 on February 8, 2006, 03:32 AM
Checking out the Sideshow Freaks (http://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7067) board, I found that a member of Sideshow was posting there.  He was giving some serious hints as to who the next figure would be:

Quote
Let me help narrow down the candidates...

It's not Chewbacca (we're being pretty open about this - Chewbacca will have to wait until we find JUST the right solution to the fur dilemma)

It won't be anyone who wears a helmet, but the figure certainly could come with a helmet, if helmets are a priority.

We're not holding to any set pattern with the Order of the Jedi, Heroes of the Rebellion, etc. There were four Jedi announced, then one Hero, but that doesn't mean the next three will be Heroes. I can assure you that he is not from Sith, Scum, or Military. Although you could make a case for military, if you wanted to argue.

Figure it out yet?

Any guesses?

CW Obi-Wan in Clone Trooper Armor with Durge's Helmet.  (He wouldn't have to have the Clone Trooper helmet.)

Jango Fett - Kamino PJ's.

I think its Leia, i would put money on it.  ;D She has worn a helmet several times, Jabba's Palace and on Endor. I know they mentiones that "he" is not from a bunch of things but i still think it's Leia.

Post by: JesseVader08 on February 9, 2006, 12:04 PM
I'm thinking Mace Windu with Jango's Helmet.  Perhaps the decapitated head inside the helmet would be the exclusive?  ;D

Well, it's official, the next 12" figure from Sideshow is Mace Windu!

I'm disappointed, I've been waiting for some baddies for a while now... :-[

Official from where?
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Mace Windu
Post by: ruiner on February 9, 2006, 05:57 PM
There is word that this image leaked out at Sideshow's website:

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y22/joyana/mace021006windu_01copie.jpg)

It doesn't look like Hasbro's version, so I'm assuming it's legit.

And it falls in line with the hints that SS has been leaking out.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Mace Windu
Post by: Morgbug on February 9, 2006, 06:08 PM
Based on that head sculpt, it's very clearly not a Hasbro product.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Mace Windu
Post by: jadesfire on February 9, 2006, 08:01 PM
Damn, I was so hoping for a Leia.  Oh well, it seems legit and looks like Sideshow product.  I hate to see my credit card bill once all of these start shipping!!

good thing the release dates are spread out… that'll help :P
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Mace Windu
Post by: evenflow on February 10, 2006, 10:01 AM
Well i am agreeing and hoping for a Jango Helmet and head.

Post by: JesseVader08 on February 11, 2006, 01:16 AM
So this figure is going to go up for preorder on Monday Feb 20th.  Every figure so far has been up for preorder on a Friday, so it looks like they are going to change things a bit.

Very cool on the removable arm, nice touch. Sideshow has done good with the little things so far.

So....any scoop on what the exclusive item will be?  I love the shot of Mace in his robe (and am assuming that will be the bonus item).  I'm also assuming Monday will suck for ordering just like last time.  I have no idea why some of us get right through and some of us can't seem to get the page to load.  It's not like I am using dial-up (I feel for those that are).  Oh well, Legolas is tomorrow and that should be a piece of cake compared to the Star Wars line.

Pure speculation, but I'm guessing Jango's severed head (well, maybe just the helmet).  I think the robe will be a standard item.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Mace Windu
Post by: JesseVader08 on February 17, 2006, 12:09 PM
I've read in various places that people are commenting his eyes are too light (similar to the Bespin Han complaints), so some people have been working hard to Photoshop him correctly.

What do you think?

Rebelscum is claiming that the exclusive item (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Sideshow_Collectibles_Priority_Preorder_Monday_97222.asp) is the Jango Fett helmet, which wouldn't surprise me at all, but Sideshow hasn't actually confirmed this yet.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Mace Windu
Post by: jadesfire on February 18, 2006, 12:31 PM
There is a picture of it in the production blog.  I dunno, not the best thing for me as I have an empty Jango helmet but I can't think of anything else now that they have the detachable arm.

Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Mace Windu
Post by: JesseVader08 on February 18, 2006, 02:21 PM
Yeah, I saw that pic too.  Perhaps you could hang the helmet in the air to look like its flying off Jango's body?  ;)

Good luck to everyone who plans on ordering Mace in the next couple hours.

Sure wish they'd announce a Sith figure soon...

It was pretty painless today.  Ordered right at 1:01 :)

I had a couple minor problems logging in, but overall, their system is doing very well handling these orders.

Well, that was painless!

I think I got out the door in less than two minutes this time around.  Wonder if it has something to do with the ordering taking place on a Monday vs. a Friday?

Any ideas on what will be next?

Rumor has it (from RS, of all places) that it will be yet another Jedi or Hero.... :'(

What did the exclusive item turn out to be?  (can't get the page to load at work)

Was it a Fett Helmet?

There are three different Mace hilts::

He is shown with 2 different style hilts in the EI promo material (one of which is included with SS Windu)

The EII & III hilts are the same.

Whew! barely got my order in with minutes to spare.  It took me 27 minutes of trying to get in.

I was kinda of worried about pre-ordering today due to alot of people having the day off, and it falling on a Monday, but it all worked out. 

I'm hoping/looking forward to a slight slow down, with just one more Jedi or Hero, and the SDCC exclusive.

I received my Mace today and am very happy with it. However, I'm not happy with Sideshow changing from Fedex to UPS. I've received 2 so far from UPS and both boxes have been dented >:(. Not one of the figures received via Fedex had any problems.

Holy ****....I thought they just arrived in the US but they are already shipping??!!

As for the box condition-did you contact SS and see about a replacement?  I would assume they have plenty left in the warehouse (I haven't even gotten my email yet) so that might be an option.  I don't think it matters what carrier they use, if they don't double box it - some are just gonna get dented. :-\

That's what I've been saying since Luke.  I choose to pay $14 to have all my orders double boxed from SSC.  I always receive my figs late in the shipping cycle because of it.

I wish I didn't have to pay double to recieve my figs box in good condition, but the other alternative is always getting beat up boxes, due to their insufficient shipping practices, and then the hassle of contacting SSC for replacement boxes gets really old quick.

I didn't realize that was even an option.  It's nice they offer that, but $14 seems a little steep.  Although, these packages are so great looking it would really suck to get a dented one.  I suppose it would be good insurance.

I got a replacement box for my Anakin.  I was put on a MIB list, but my shipments still come single boxed.  I have been lucky with Kit Fisto, Han Solo, and SDCC Anakin/Vader.  I haven't received my shipping notice yet for Mace.

For the replacement box, they send it flat so you have to fold it yourself.  It is a little tricky to get it correct.  Also, you have to stick it in the original mailer box overnight so it will hold its shape.
