Title: Sideshow 12" Scale Dejarik Table
Post by: ruiner on January 30, 2007, 02:43 PM
Wait til you see their next announcement...

I've already quit collecting 12" Sideshow figures because of their character selection.  Too many head / accessory swaps and not enough focus on core characters.  And their 'deal' with Medicom is bull****.  It's just an excuse to not do the characters we want at an affordable price.

Their next release will leave you scratching your head in disarray...

I assume this refers to what is supposedly pictured in a popular toy magazine?

Yep, and it's fo' real.

1/6 scale chess board with mini figures.

That's it...nothing else with it.

I'm impressed to say the least, we now have a 1/6 scale chess board to go with, hmm let's see, our 12" Hasbro Chewbacca!  Great use of tooling investment Sideshow!   :-*

Have you seen the pic?  Just asking, no body has produced one yet that I've seen.

Who's to say that a 1/6th Sideshow Chewbacca (or R2 for that matter) isn't coming?  I'd almost expect them now - what's a chess board with no one to play it?  It could be something similar to Maul's probe droids - a nice companion piece if you want to buy it.

I hope you're right, but don't you think the figure should come before the accessory?

Sure I do, but Sideshow could be holding out for Toy Fair for the big reveal.  This is just a teaser.

I like it, but there has to be more to it.  It doesn't make sense to release this with no figures.

Maybe the table is part of a "creature pack" style offering from SSC, an environment set of sorts.

Imagine a 1:6 Falcon cockpit or gunner station.  ;D

Crap, I hope the chess board actually comes with a figure.  I'm really getting annoyed with the $35-40 expansion sets.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Scale Dejarik Table
Post by: jadesfire on January 30, 2007, 09:23 PM
Hmm-I'm not sure if I'd buy it even if they make a fully jointed C-3PO and Chewbacca.  It's always easier for me to pass on items I can see first hand. ;)

Geez, am I the only one who likes this set?  This is an item that collectors have wanted for quite some time and the only thing we have seen made is the 3 3/4" version that came with the Chewie figure.  I think people need to give this some time before they get all bent out of shape about it not coming with figures.  There has already been cease and desist letters sent out about posting the picture.

As for the medicom thing...they are outside the US and thus can make those figures without infringing on Sideshows license for 12" figures.  You can almost guarentee that Sideshow will do these figures at some point.  When Sideshow annouced the 12" line, I believe they stated they would do six lines of figures.  Currently we have Jedi, Sith, Scum & Villiany, Heros of the Rebellion, and Military.  Military could cover clones and stormtroopers.  Scum could cover Boba and Jango Fett.  I would guess the last line could be droids.

I guess I see it the other way, why spend the money to tool them when you can sell and make money off of the Medicom versions?

As of right now, it's just that - a stand alone accessory pack.  No figure.

I am in the minority but i think this is awesome. It may just be a stand alone now, but i have to beleive there will be more to it. I applaud Sideshow for being creative with the accessory and creature packs. I agree they should go with more non standard body characters but they are giving us Jabba. All in time.

If they spend the money to tool one, they can get several figures with only slight modifications.  I think they would make more money making their own versions than putting a mark up on the RAH figures.

Oh there is no doubt more will come with this.  I just wish they would include this with a figure.  It's just tough to keep up with $65 figures and then $50 expansion sets.  But at least they give you the option.  I will have to skip it as cool as it is.

Actually I will probably order it and then decide later to keep it.

I'm happy for this one- finally we get physical manifestations of Gyyyk, Houjux, Mantellian Savrip, K'lor'slug, Kintan Strider, Molator, Grimtaash, N'gok and (my favorite) Monnok!

My SWCCG past resurfaces!

I just saw the set and i have to say it is pretty nice. It is a little bigger than expected but they made no mention of when something would be released to go with it. I did overhear on of the Sideshow reps say that the next Star Wars announcement would be very soon.

I think it's a nice looking set but w/o figures to go with it, my money is staying put. They only way i'd fork over $ for this is if it were a life sized replica which is more of the direction I think Sideshow should have gone with this idea...
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Scale Dejarik Table
Post by: evenflow on February 13, 2007, 10:04 PM
Well if you look on the sideshow website it says there is a star wars announcement tomorrow. Perhaps it is something to go with this set?

Okay, got my 15-20 day notice on this, now I got to think about how to display it. Should I drag out my Hasbro 12" R2, 3PO and Chewy, or should I keep it "all Sideshow" and put my commandos around it like they're kicking back, taking a break.

I got my e-mail as well. I am really hoping for a Chewbacca. I was not too excited witht heir showing at SDCC this year. I hope they announce either a much wanted character or a large scale item soon.

I dunno.... I've been mixing mine up- have the commandos on the shelf with my 3 12" speeder bikes and endor Han, have the Hasblo Han/Carb (glowy) in with my SS Jabba scene...   I'm probably gonna take the electronic 3P0/R2 and pick the least worst of the Chewies for it....

My Dejarik table was delivered yesterday, and it is heavy. Though it  is described as an accessory this piece stands alone just fine especially when all the characters are added onto it. the creatures are very neat and nicely detailed, I hope to see these done in a 3 3/4 scale some time.
