Announcing Scum and Villainy 12-inch Figures (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?page_id=1665)

Hmmm, I wonder who it will be...
My guess for first Scum and Villainy figure - Greedo.
They can use the same standard body and only have to tool up a new head and hands.
What does everyone else think?
-
That's the first one who popped into my head as well. Not quite as much sculpting as other aliens/figures involved, he's pictured in the write up (which doesn't necessarily mean anything), and Greedo has just been on a tear in Star Wars collecting lately. A new Galactic Heroes figure, a new VTSC figure, a rumored Unleashed figure, a Bust Up, Gentle Giant bookends, etc. Greedo's all the rage this year :P. I'm sure Fett is the one that is most wanted off the bat, but I just see them holding him until later. Greedo is my guess as well.
I'm trying to decide what I want to do with this line from now on. I held off, and thus missed out, on the Jedi Luke - but preordered the Bespin Han right off the bat. Part of me wants to collect the OT characters from this line, which would limit it a little bit, but I'm not sure if I could afford it. A nice glass case full of these things would look purty I'm guessing though :). For now, if the next figure is an OT-based character, I'll probably throw in a preorder just in case. Although I don't know if/how the ordering process has changed since the Han in February (with the Inclusive business and all of that).
-
I think I would pass on Greedo.
-
Well there is are just so many they could throw in there. They tease us with that Jabba picture. Man I wish! Although it would probably be $100 easy. I would like Hammerhead as well. But I am thinking it will be something like this - Jango or Boba (not both), Greedo, Prince Xizor (since they mention Black Sun), A Character from the Palace - assume Jabba or Bib Fortuna, Leia Boushh (but that's a Hero of the Rebellion pick).
Oh I don't know it should be interesting whatever they come up with.
-
Best news I have seen in regards to the Sideshow line. I really hope this means we will be getting random Jabba aliens, especially Jabba. I would like Yakface, a Gammorean Guard, Amanaman, and all the others. Sadly, I think we will be getting greedo first. I think they will be milking the standard body new head and hands only thing for a while. ::)
-
missed out, on the Jedi Luke -
I have an extra Luke coming to me that you can have if you want it.
-
I think this line's gonna suck me in to SSC 12" figs... :-\
-
It would be nice to see a Jango or Boba come out of this line but I would think that they would save those two for the Bounty Hunter line that is inevitably going to come. I would be floored to see a Jabba come out of this line!
-
A bounty hunter line would be interesting, but perhaps not enough for its own subdivision.
-

I have to agree. I think we'll see bounty hunters in this line.
-
They'll probably premiere this line with Jar Jar Binks, accessories include;
Antipersonnel Booma'
Antivehicle Booma'
four eyed frog
Bantha Poodoo
Exclusive edition
flailing tounge
-
I think any figure in this line is made from...Mos Eisley scenes? (according to Obi won..you'll never find more than here).
If they do anything else they're contradicting the movies' line. :P
-
Maybe for their first curveball, they'll do the Human version of Jabba that was originally cut from ANH...How weird would THAT be? :P
-
I hope this line gets us a new body type character sooner than later.
-
Boba Fett
Jango Fett
Greedo
Zam Wessel (Pass)
IG-88
Bossk
Bib Fortuna (Pass)
-
If we are doing wish lists for this subdivision, mine would be :
Boba Fett
Jabba the Hutt ;D
IG-88
Bossk
4-Lom
Zuckass
Dengar
Bib Fortuna
Amanaman
Yakface
Hammerhead
-
My picks would be :
Greedo (probly a given really)
Fett (since they're doing a premium format of him already, they only have to scale it down a little)
Wuhrer
Aurra Sing (Make the first Female figure already!:P)
Quinlan Vos (although technically he's a jedi, he still kinda fits)
The Tonnika Sisters (a 2 pack, AND Female! Who cares about even realistic! LOL)
Bo'Shekk (with sideburns to scale! LOL)
Momaw Nadon (who WOULDN'T want a 12" Ithorian? Even though it'd be around 16" if it was to scale, like the VOTC/ROTS Chewie :p)
Lando (i know, i know, another one that's really from the Rebellion series, but still)
Any of the Skiff Guards, or a 3 pack like the old hasbro 4 inch figure set!
Talon Karrde (though he's really EU...and they haven't even done Snowbunny Padme, Kir Kanos or Mara Jade yet)
-
A bounty hunter line would be interesting, but perhaps not enough for its own subdivision.
I stand corrected. I just read this in their advertisement for this new line:
"In a galaxy full of crime, bounty hunters of all manner and description fulfilled a much needed role, apprehending fugitives on behalf of over-stretched local planetary law enforcement and even grand militaries already occupied with wars on a larger scale. Within the criminal underworld, bounty hunters were a police force of sorts, but one that answered to cold, hard cash rather than any form of law based on principles or ideals."
-
Maybe for their first curveball, they'll do the Human version of Jabba that was originally cut from ANH...How weird would THAT be? :P
Lucas never intended that to be Jabba he was going to put a stop motion version in place,he cut it then wanted it back real bad....he got his way. ::)
-

Which is precisely what would make it a wicked curveball...not at all what people would be expecting. Don't get me wrong, a 1/6th scale Jabba the Hutt would be awesome (as long as they eventually made a slave leia or Oola to go along with it) Anything's better than Prince Xizor (how the heck are you supposed to pronounce that anyway?!):P
-

[geekalert] She-Zoar [/geekalert]
I don't know what to expect. I doubt it'll be Boba because he just got a Premium Statue and I don't think Sideshow releases the same character in two different formats at the same time. So it could be Jango - two different characters but very similar. Could be Greedo, but that seems too obvious. But I agree with you - I'm hoping for something completely out of left field.
-
Maybe it will be BoShek :o
I am hoping for something unexpected as well. I really don't want it to be Greedo.
-
Galactic Hunter (http://www.galactichunter.com/absolutenm/templates/full_article_template_1.asp?articleid=5579&zoneid=2) apparently has some early news from the floor (setting up for Comic Con), and according to their information on Sideshow, the following figures are in the "Scum and Villainy" lineup (wow):
Bib Fortuna (4th Quarter 06 - $55)
Princess Leia - Boussh (1st Quarter 07 - $60)
12" Scale Jabba the Hutt (1st Quarter 2008 - $120) - including extra accessories to be sold seperately
More info at the linky.
-
Sounds neat!
Bib and Leia have potential but I guess they would not have been my first choices. I'm excited about the new Jabba - sounds like they will have accessories and an environment.
-
Fantastic news!! I have been waiting for those pictures to load at SS (Virtual Booth - spot number 1). I can't wait to see pictures of Leia and Jabba!!!
-
Holy ****, a 12" scale Jabba? I'm there. Without reading the link, I'd imagine the dias and Salacious to be accessories and I'd also imagine this will be another inclusive edition.
-
Here's the text from GH for prosperity sakes.
$350 for a complete Jabba package. Better start saving some money.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES
Sideshow Collectibles is showing off their upcoming Scum & Villainy 12" series, featuring Bib Fortuna (4th Quarter of '06 - $55); Princess Leia - Boushh Disguise ($60, 1st Quarter of 2007), and a 12" scale Jabba The Hutt ($120, 1st Quarter 2008). Extra Jabba The Hutt accessories will be sold separately including a Salacious Crumb/Creatures pack featuring the monkeylizard himself, Bubo the frog-dog, and some froggy snacks for Jabba ($30, 1st Quarter 2007). A Jabba The Hutt Throne Environment set ($199, release TBD) is also on display, featuring the slug gangster's pipe, bowl, throne, and other accessories.
-
Look, a picture. (http://www.comingsoon.net/cgi-bin/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Comic_Con_2006&image=comiccon1.jpg&img=54&tt=)
And, I noticed minutes after posting that, GH has lots more up (http://www.galactichunter.com/absoluteig/gallery.asp?categoryid=3953).
-
:o
Sweet Jeeebus! That looks awesome...wonder if they'll do a TPM version with Gardulla as well, like a Pod Race Box dio.
-
Man, I'm gonna be so broke! :o
http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?page_id=1710 (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?page_id=1710)
-
Wow! That whole set will be a small fortune. I don't think I can pass up Jabba. I was not expecting the creature pack. Nice.
-
I doubt we will see Gardulla, but you never know? Yeah, I want Jabba but probably won't shell out the money for the entire set. I would love to but that's a lot of mula. I love that SS did this however. Sweet!!!
-
Wow! That Jabba looks awesome! I'm glad to see Sideshow taking on something so ambitious! I bet it will be one hot item when it's ready for sale.
-
Boushh & Maybe Jabba,No Bib.
-
What a surprise!Oh,how I love CC!
-
Incredible....just incredible. I will be ordering the entire ball of wax for the next three Fridays. Leia is the version I have always wanted. No stupid smile underneath the helmet. Jabba....what can I say??? I can't even believe that they tried it, much less how fantastic it looks. I have no idea where the hell I will be putting this display but I'm buying it.
-
Sweet merciful crap. That is one incredible and fantastic setup. Like Beth, I'll be ordering the whole bowl of wax for the next three weeks and like Beth, I have no idea where I'm going to put it. Truly outstanding work by Sideshow.
My only question is what's a Domestic Edition (for Jabba's throne)? I assume it's for US buyers only, but is like the inclusive edition? I'll be traveling tomorrow and I hate to miss out on his throne because there's already a predetermined amount.
-
How can you not buy the whole package?!
:)
-
How can you not buy the whole package?!
:)
I can think of two reasons - money and my wife. But I'll worry about those when the time comes.
-
OMG, I want that Jabba and Throne soooooo badly, must resist. it's kind of stupid how they're selling both seperately. Why would you want Jabba w/o the Throne???
-
This is so tough. The whole Jabba "display" they have there looks amazing, and honestly, I want to order all of it. I thought I might be able to keep up on this line by limiting it to OT figures only, and there would only be a handful each year. Now this whole Jabba thing comes up, and its going to cost over $300 to get the whole shebang. That might be a little tougher to afford (and convince the wife of). What to do...what to do.... It does look amazing though. Frustrating how Sideshow puts something like this together in basically their first year of having a Star Wars line, but Hasbro never did do this in the 12" scale - and can't even put out the dais in their 3 3/4" scale.
-
Simply Amazing! I need it, I want, I will order it all tomorrow. I can't resist. There is no way around it. I notice that Jabba is part of the Inclusive Edition, but Bib and Leia are now which means partof the headache begins again.
-
I had planned on ordering everything related to Jabba, but I think I'm going to save my $400 and wait a while.
Sometimes after the dust settles, you can find the higher ticket items on ebay for less than SRP.
-
Guestimates here: When do we think this stuff will ship? I would say not until early 2007. What do you guys think?
-

i think it said for some of jabba's stuff, early 07, but i'm guessing maybe next summer. Sooner is always great, but this looks like it would be worth waiting for...heck how long have we been waiting for hasbro to do it? LOL
-
I still can't seem to find any information on what "Domestic Edition" means. I am also surprised it isn't in the "several day ordering"(or Inclusive Edition) time slots like the other two pieces. I will order all three items tomorrow at 12:30 EST but sure am glad I will have a while to wait before these hit the ole credit card.
-
Sideshow pix up! (http://www.jedidefender.com/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Conventions/San_Diego_Comic_Con_2006/Sideshow_Collectibles)
(http://www.jedidefender.com/gallery/files/gallery/Conventions/San_Diego_Comic_Con_2006/Sideshow_Collectibles/DSC09524.jpg)
Bo shooda!
-
Why, oh why can't I afford ANY of this cool stuff? :(
Pics of Han up close like that have me leaning towards picking up classic ones... Though then I'll want Jabba, and he's freaking expensive with his throne, though rightly so, but still... God this is killing me.
-
Awesome shots!! A fantastic job on the photo's Jared. These are the kind of shots I like to see (close up of the detailing on clothes and small items) as well as the full shots of the figures. I am still in awe of the job Sideshow is doing and really have to reconsider remodeling our dining room or just take it over for Sideshow's stuff.
Damn....I wish I was at comic-con!!!
-

The way I gather it (from that other site) is Domestic Editions are only available in the US through Sideshow directly (so you can't purchase the throne from Entertainment Earth or any other retailer that may sell these). International buyers can buy from Sideshow or any international retailer that may have them.
But I'm still confused if this will be an inclusive edition like the other pieces. I hope so, I hate to be stuck with no throne.
-
Wow, great pics Jared!
Those Jabba shots look so very very cool... makes me regret not starting this line afterall. :-X
-
Wish I could help you on that Mikey but I am picking up the throne myself. I have to believe that this won't be an exclusive just because there really is no point to it. I would think they would let it go as long as the others are up for order since you certainly don't want to have people cancel their Jabba orders because they didn't get the throne.
Also, it's comic-con and a lot of folks will be IN LINE!! (ah...the good ole days of waiting in line for a convention to open :P).
-
I just noticed the price on the throne is $199.00. At first I thought it was $99.00 so now I am wondering if Jabba and Salacious come with it. If you look at SS and click on the 360 degree info, it shows Jabba and Salacious. If it was just the throne, one would think they would NOT be on it. I also think $200 bucks for the throne is a bit too much. Anyone else have any ideas on this? No one really had bought it up in the "comments" section at Sideshow so I might be missing the boat altogether on this....
-
Everything is sold separate.
The throne is $200, Jabba is $120 and the critters are $32.
-
Basically with shipping and taxes it's going to cost $400 for the entire set. Wow. I would love to get this and am trying to think of a way to do it. But I think in the end it's just going to be to steep for me. Dangit. I thought about just getting Jabba and the creatures but that will look stupid without the throne. But it's going to bug the crap out of me not to get at least Jabba. Sigh.
-
I know its expensive, but i have to have it. I will be ordering it all tomorrow. I figure there is plenty of time to save up.
-
OMG, I want that Jabba and Throne soooooo badly, must resist. it's kind of stupid how they're selling both seperately. Why would you want Jabba w/o the Throne???
TPM Podrace scenes,I dought anyone will display him like that though. I may get Bib after all,probally have to see more pics to decide.
-
Damn, $400 is a lot to stomach. What's the point of just having Jabba, after all?
I guess I'll have to see when it ships to decide whether or not I splurge.
-
No throne for me...$200 is to much for me!I can cutsom one from styrome foam. :P
-
374.00 with shipping for it all :o My order is placed ;D
-
374.00 with shipping for it all :o My order is placed ;D
Yup, same here. It did state it would ship first quarter 2007 instead of 2008 as originally posted.
-
While the throne is insanely overpriced, I still acted like a sucker and ordered all 3.
I had to put the throne on Flex-pay though. Luckily it gives me 6 months to save up.
SS really needs to stop being so greedy though. No way is that slab of polystone and piece of plastic worth $200. ???
I worry that the more and more collectors start buying this line, SS is just going to keep uping the prices.They've hit the goldmine here and they know it.
I want a SS 12" Tauntaun, Wampa and Bantha so bad but now I cringe to even think how much they'd charge...
-
Yep, $375 for a whole bunch of Jabba here also. I have no idea where I'm going to put it, of course...but at least I have 5 months+ to put the cash aside for it all. Sideshow is making me BROKE!! I don't mind that much though, since I passed on 95% of the Hasbro 12 inch stuff. I'm happier getting more realistic/better quality figures, even if I have to pay more.
I have a worry also about the prices going up once more collectors get into the line. So far I've bought (or pre-ordered) all of the exclusive versions, but I think after Jabba I might get more selective. I don't know if I can be a completionist on their 12 in. lines. I'm already thinking about trading or selling the Luke Jedi, I really don't like the head sculpt on him. I thought it would look better in person, but he's just too doofy looking. I wish they went with a more neutral expression.
-
I am worried about the pirces as well but my interest in this line just keeps escalating. I plan on buying a nice display case.
-
I can't be a completist in this line since I never bought Luke. I already shelled out WAY too much for the Medicom version so that's the one that will be looming in the corner by Jabba in 2007. It's my own stupid choice to grab Leia and Bib from Sideshow though. I have the same figures from Hasbro. Boushh isn't terrible, as long as the helmet stays on but SS Bib looks much better than the one I have. I'd like to think I will be very selective but I doubt it. I'll grab Vader once he's made (that will make around six or seven that I'll have), Lando, Slave Leia etc...as well as figures from the prequel. The only figure I doubt I would buy would be Count Dooku. I really like Hasbro's version and he only has one outfit :).
-
I really like Hasbro's version and he only has one outfit :).
Not entirely true...I made a custom Dooku using the outfit from Obi-wan to show what he'd look like before he left the order ;)
http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/Richardthebloody/12in%20Jedi%20Dooku/
(may not be entirely accurate however) LOL
-
Sideshow has no mercy. For the first time, I'm on the fence on a Sideshow 12" purchase. To say Jabba, throne, critters, and all of their Star Wars offering were amazing is a huge understatement. You truly have to see these in person to appreciate their beauty.
I caved on the whole Jabba set, but man was it a tough decision. So far, I have every single SSC 12" offering, and if they keep up this blistering pace, I don't think I can keep up. :-\
I'm definately going to have to start selling off my Hasbro stuff to soften the blow.
-
Not entirely true...I made a custom Dooku using the outfit from Obi-wan to show what he'd look like before he left the order ;)
Cool idea. Thanks for sharing the pics!!
-
I placed my order yesterday after getting to my parents' house. $375 well spent IMO and I didn't think twice about ordering the entire package.
-
Well I just ordered the whole ball and wax to. I am going to have to sell a bunch of stuff to make it happen though. But I have been meaning to do that anyway. It's just to damn nice of a set for me to pass on in the end. Damn you SS, LOL. Of course this means I have to cancel my Darth Maul as well but this thing is better IMO.
-
SS will be offering about 10-12 12" figs a year (as stated earlier). That means you start setting aside $100 bucks a month... The quality cannot be denied and if you've got the space to show them so much the better. Jabba's throne (while I agree was damn pricey) is sold separately to let people have the choice (as many have) to simply buy the figure instead of the accessory. I bought all three--- I plan on being a completist with this line (as I was with the SITH line from Hasbro) and I only hope that maybe next year SS will have the Millenium Falcon cockpit available to pose the soon to be released Han Solo with a hopefully released in 2007 Chewie, Hoth escape Leia, and a C3-P0. Love the Jabba... already have a space in my office where his throne ROOM is going to go...ABSOLUTELY LOVE the idea of creating 12" diorams.
-
The more and more i look at the pics, the happier i am this line exists. I know its expensive but i really think its worth it. I would be happy with 12 figures a year as well as 1 larger beast.
-
Be careful, or else they'll do a 1/6th scale Rancor...yanno, Toddler sized! LOL :o
-
The Jabba is amazing and literally took my breath away when I saw it in the display at Sideshow's booth. Easily the most gorgeous piece in a long time. I want one really bad, and surprisingly price is not the issue for me. Space is the issue. I have no clue where the F I'd put the thing.
-
Be careful, or else they'll do a 1/6th scale Rancor...yanno, Toddler sized! LOL :o
put me down for 1 ;D
As sick as that is to say, I would buy it. I am sure it would look amazing (and i am sure the price would be too :o) I never really liked Hasbro's Wampa so i hope they redo that. Dewbacks and Tauntauns woul dbe cool but i could live with the Hasbro ones. I would also really like to see a bantha. With that said if all this happens i think i would have to move to a bigger place.
-
I was in absolute awww of the Jabba scene! I ordered it as soon as I found out it was up for sale on their site. I am totally impressed with the quality SS continues to give to us. Every penny spent with them is well worth it IMO.
-
How many different versions of these things do they make? What are the differences between "inclusive", exclusive and regular editions? ???
Are there exclusive versions of each of the items: Jabba, throne and creatures?
-
Teh Jabba looks amazing, though I'd have to sell my kidneys if I wanted to buy the whole package.
-

Are there exclusive versions of each of the items: Jabba, throne and creatures?
Inclusive versions usually have a longer order period and with that said, there usually is no "exclusive" version sold. However, Jabba and the Salacious set each have an exclusive piece being offered.
Obviously, the exclusive version is a step up from the regular edition. Once the exclusvie version is sold out SS drops down to the regular version (which can sell out quickly also, depending on the size edition). Inclusive versions have no pre-set size edition. They take all the orders and then ( I assume) from that point set an amount to make. It will be limited but not to the point that you didn't have at least 5-6 days to order it. Now a domestic version is just that - you can't get it from EE, BBTS or any other online dealer. You can only order it direct from Sideshow.
At least this is my take on all this, I hope that helps...
-
I don't collect 12" at all...never bought a 12" figure in my life...and I bought the Jabba and throne and critters.
Anyone else not collect 12" but get sucking into this piece?
-
Okay I got the whole Jabba set ordered, now where's Oola?
I hope they make Weequay.

Check your emails gang, Bib Fortuna goes up for priority preorder on July 28th at 10am PDT.

-
RS is reporting the exclusive extra is a kenner style staff
-
Sideshow must think that this figure won't be too hot as it is an exclusive version rather than inclusive....
Got to love the exclusive Kenner staff!
-
So....
How much better- what are the differences?- is this Bib going to be from the Hasblo one?
I suspect it will be mildly better but I don't see too much of a difference except for articulation based on the pictures.
Any thoughts?
-
I don't have the Hasbro version, but I can almost guarantee that the Sideshow version will have a better sculpt and be more poseable.
I base this comparison on the SS Anakin Skywalker compared to the Hasbro Ultimate Villain Anakin/Vader.
-
I have the Hasbro version and just with the simple pictures from SDCC, it looks much better. The face sculpt is "clearer" or more detailed or however one would put that. The clothing looks like it has better detailing also and I assume the articulation will be the same as the others from SS.
I also think the Hasbro version will look lame next to Jabba, especially if you are picking up the other SS dolls - but that is just my opinion.
I have no picture posting ability whatsoever but you can easily find photo's of the Hasbro version online and compare from those.
-
I have a meeting today at noon, so I hope it ends by 1 so I can my exclusive Bib. I might pre-order the regular and get on the waiting list for the exclusive and hope for the best if I'm still stuck working at 1 >:(
-
...and the madness begins again.... :-X
After about 25 refreshes, my order popped up and in 15 seconds I was the proud owner (pre-owner?) of Bib.
Pictures look fantastic!!
-
Glad you were able to nab one Beth.
-
Took me 14 minutes to get in. So much for no one going for ol' Bib. :P
-
I just noticed that the edition is 2500!!! :o
I never dreamed it would be that high. I assume they are basing this off of Jabba sales.
-
Didn't place my order until about 1:30. Got out of my meeting, logged in and ordered was placed in less than a minute. ;D
-
3 and a half hours later he still hasn't even hit the low numbers yet. ::)
Why SS decided to make almost twice as many of him as some of the main characters is just silly IMO.
It seems to me SS isn't as much concerned about making collectibles anymore as much as they are selling as many as they think they can.
-
Well i placed my order over the phone at 1:00, and just got home around 6:30 and see that its still not sold out. Not sure if its just character selection, they offered too many, or becuase of all the money people spent on Jabba, but i have to admit i am surprised. I hope Leia is this easy next week.
-

Well their line is redhot now and they know it. Gotta capitilize on that.
-
I think SS is finally realizing the demand for these High-Quality Figures and are trying to give collectors what we want.
Kind of odd since it is so out of character for companies we're used to dealing with.
-
I just placed an order right now for Bib. Given my internet provider has been down for the last 3 days >:( I ended up missing out on the Exclusive version. I may just have to grab that one from secondary market. I just doesn't seem right not having Bib's Staff. :-\
-
...and the madness begins again.... :-X
and again.... :-X :-\

I can't wait I have all the parts of Jabba coming plus leia and Bib I just wish they made a slave Leia over Boushh. I'm sure down the road they will.
-
This Jabba and his environment thing is driving me nuts. I did end up ordering the whole environment. But I am seriously considering dumping the throne and creatures because of the insane $250 it those two thing it will end up costing. I mean $120 is okay with me for Jabba. I just wish they would have thrown in the hookah, pipe, and bowl with the Jabba figure itself. But no they make you buy that stuff with the damn throne.
Normally I would bite the bullet on this but we are going to be closing on a home at about the same time this puppy hits the credit card. Which again would be okay but we also have to buy a refrigerator, washer and dryer, and landscape the back of the house along with whatever expenses will be incurred. I will be lucky if the wife even lets me hang onto Jabba himself. Damnit!!!
Why did they have to release this at the wrong time for me personally? LOL.
-
I really want that base. Too bad it's $200 something bucks. Dammit SS!
I hope Jango or Boba are next for this line.

There's a Jabba video over at Sideshow - the password is JABBAVID if anyone is interested.

I want the Jabba set so bad. :'(
-
I just seen my video and I can't frickin' wait for this set to come!!! If only it came with his "laugh" sound bite.....
-
Well Beth...I think you now have a new use for that iPod nano you want. ;)
-
;D
-
Damn my dial up connection, it takes to long to watch.
-
I just got my Bib Fortuna e-mail. It says it should arrive in the warehouse in 15 days.
-
Oh man, I got my shipping and tracking number from Sideshow about Bib Fortuna. I also got the arriving e-mail for Salacious Crumb. I also notice that the probe droids are listed as shipping soon on my account page. ;D
-
Congrats! The boxed Bib pics make me sad I did not order it. But I can't get them all. Someday...someday.
-
I've got my Bib Fortuna! I have to say I ordered this just to spruce up my Jabba scene, but they did a really good job with the figure, and I'm glad i got it.
-
Mine is supposed to arrive on the 2nd, I admit thought that i am more excited for the Salacious Crumb pack. The new pic on the sideshow site look good. I can't wait for Jabba, but i have no idea where i am going to put him. :o
-
Hasbro just sent me a Heads-Up on Salacious B. Crumb processing. after I get this guy Jabba can't come soon enough.
-
Well, I just received Bib today and it's a pretty nice piece. I rather like the staff and will end up keeping him with that in his hand, once Jabba arrives. Nothing special about this one but when you compare it to Hasbro's....well....I am sure you can figure that out!! I did take some comparison shots (link below) and wasn't too keen on the pointy figure set of hands, so I'll keep the original ones that were on him when he arrived.

-
I got my 3-5 day e-mail for Salacious Crumb. I am really excited for this set. ;D
-
It looks like the flood gates are opening again at SS. Maul a few weeks ago, and now Bib and Crumb and their newsletter said the Sith Droid probe set is just around the corner. I am surprised they haven't had a preorder for a while.
-
Looks like the next character pack is Bubo. There's pics of Jabba boxed over at 'scum and Bubo is on the back.
Going to be an expensive month.
-
Awesome, I cannot wait.
-
Crap. I have to get the Bubo set somehow. I like Bubo more than the Salcious set.
-
I am starting a new job next week and i think it may be difficult for me to get in on when they all go on sale. This sucks :-[ I hope i can figure something out.
-
My Salacious Crumb set came in yesterday! Now Bubo is soon to be offered, what's next 12" Gargan?
-
Well someone must be a huge Jabba fan over there at SS. It's shows with all the Jabba goodness they are offering us. I would laugh if SS offers up a 12 inch Yarna before Hasbro makes a 3 3/4 version.
-
Impresive set. I wish I had room for the 12" line.
-
Bib is awesome, but I just can't afford the rest of the set. Dang, I wish these would cap at about $40 each.

-
Jabba is on his way to the warehouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
-
I got that e-mail as well, but at the same time I got 3 shipping confirmations. 1 i know is for Legolas, but i have no idea what the other 2 are. Could Jabba and probe droids already shipped?
Edit:
I just got the e-mail for the throne. ;D

I got both the Jabba and throne emails as well. I guess we'll probably see Boushh in a few days. I believe Sideshow's motto should be, When it rains, it pours. Makes more sense then the salt company.
-
I got the Jabba and throne emails also. Now the question isn't how I'm going to pay for them, it's where the **** I'm going to put them.
-
where the **** I'm going to put them.
My worry as well. I really have no idea.
-
I already moved my furniture and swipped the long coffee table. I hung the ROTJ poster above where he will go-I can't wait!!!
-
When do you think they will actually ship Jabba out? I am moving and officially changing the mail to be rerouted on 2/9. I would not think it would get shipped to us before that day...right?
-
Just got 2 emails from SS. One for the TRE and one for Jabba. Says warehouse arrival in 3 to 5 days.
What are the chances they'll do a 1:6 scale Rancor?
-

Oh-it's gonna be close. I doubt to see mine until the week of the 12th (that'd be a great Valentine's Day gift) but it all depends on where you live.
-
I decided to cancel Jabba after all. I just want to spend the $130 on something else instead. I'd love to have it but the timing is bad for me with this move.
-
Bummer - but I can totally relate about priorities with your cash and moving.
-
Got my shipping notices for both Jabba and the throne this morning. The fat bastard should be here on Wednesday. ;D
And I still don't know where I'm going to put him.

I still have not gotten mine but am checking often.

Same thing for me on both points. I'm thinking about putting away some of the Lego stuff to make room for all the Sideshow 12" stuff.
-

Same here. I gotta be home to sign for it so I'll have to pester FedEx for an estimated arrival time. It's the perfect Valentine's gift ;)
-
I finally got my shipping notice. I'm not surprised it took so long, as I waited 'til the last minute to order.
-
If all goes well, Jabba should be here tomorrow.
-
Mine showed up a day early, but unfortunately no one was home to sign for it. I am hoping the shut the office early today due to ice so I can get home and wait for him.
-
I HAVE JABBA!
Jabba and his environment showed up late in the afternoon.
I have to say I seriously underestimated the size of his dias, and how heavy it is.
Jabba is feather-light but has a real detailed sculpt. The paint applications are so good, I have to say Hasbro would never have been able to pull it off.
-
Yeah, mine arrived this morning as well. Luckily I was home with the little man because day care was closed due to the snow storm to sign for them. The throne box is absolutely enormous and heavy. I snapped a couple of pics in their boxes with a Gamorrean Kubrick to show scale that I'll post shortly.
Had a chance to open Jabba and I'm pretty impressed by the detail. Good stuff. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check out the throne tonight after work and shoveling the driveway.
-

Same here. I called Fed-ex since I won't be here tomorrow when the truck comes through and they said they would try to catch the driver and request a late delivery ...otherwise, I have to call them again tomorrow and request a Saturday delivery. :-\
-
EDIT::
Ok well, about 6:30 now so i wasnt expecting to get jabba tonight but to my surprise he just showed up. The throne box is huge, much bigger than i was expecting. Off to open everything now. ;D
-
Even after reading the dimensions on-line, I was still surprised how big the throne is. Even opening the thing and taking it out, I still can't figure out why it is so heavy as well.
-
Well, I hurried home tonight (since I asked Fed Ex to try and deliver the package after 4:00pm) and nothing was here. Should be good news right? I checked online to see if it was still out for delivery and it was DELIVERED!!!!!!! At 2:08pm, signed for by Sediva. I don't know who Sediva is, but it is not either neighbor. So, now Fed-Ex is trying to contact the driver to see exactly where the boxes are. Kind of hard to misplace two boxes that weigh 49 pounds between them?? and not be on the correct street or at the correct house? WTF???
To say that I am a little pissed off right now would be an understatement..... >:(
-
That sucks, i hope they find them for you.
-
It just gets worse. I was able to view the actual signature online and some one tried to sign for it using my full name.
Below the signature is a line that states : S. Adeva 14:08
2 Del, 0 non-del
Fed Ex is absolutely useless but Sideshow was fantastic. They put in an immediate signature dispute, set aside another Jabba and Throne and gave me the name of the lady that handles delivery disputes. They did caution that it can take up to two weeks but at least I know that I have something set aside. I don't know if it is the exclusive Jabba or not, I never thought to ask...hope so.
I am so dumbfounded as how a driver can deliver such large items to the wrong house today (he was here yesterday and left a note for redelivery) and how someone could actually receive these items, knowing damn well they don't belong to them!! I can only assume the driver stole them. Why would he/she deliver them to the wrong house in error and have someone try to sign my real name? The driver would have had to ask, "Are you ........." and the person responds, "Yes" and then sign my name and keep the packages - having no idea what is even in them!!!
Somehow - the driver decided to steal them and forge a signature. This should get real good when he/she tries to say they delivered them here and I signed for them.
*rant over*
-
Well at least sideshow is taking care of it and holding you a set. Glad to see you will get Jabba.
-
Out of all the vendors, Sideshow is the one I've had the best experience with. FedEx I don't trust too much. I had a similar incident with them with a package from starwarsshop.com. There was no signature required, but tracking said that the package was delivered and I looked everywhere for it. Turns out it was some kind of screw up and they delivered it the next day on a Saturday...still I was a bit annoyed that they could label it delivered when they still had it.
I bet the thief is going to be a bit disappointed when they open the box and see what they have. Its not like you can haul it to a pawn shop or anything.
-
Sideshow has always been the best on many marks. I am sorry for the headache you must have, but feel good about getting your piece in the end.
I am glad it will work out for you.
-
I got a call on my cell phone stating they have located my packages and will be delivering them before 7:30 this evening.
-
Best of luck to you... hopefully the boxes show up unharmed after their detour. :)
-
Weeellll.....
out here in DC, we've gotten a little bit of snow/ice and my Jabba stuff should have been delivered on Wed. The tracker was blank by the time I left work so I went home and there was no notice. Thursday, the fed ex tracker shows "local weather delay, delivery attempted" for Wed. I call Fed Ex and they have no record of any attempt being made and cite local weather.
Fine. I go home and still no notice and no update on the site. I wait until 8:30 before heading out. I get in this morning (Friday) and still no update for Thursday. I wait a bit and around 11 an entry for Thursday pops up... It shows that it's on the truck as of 9:36 am. A "delivery exception" at 11 AM, then "No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day". Now I'm getting worried... cause I need to be there to sign for it. After lunch there's a new entry for Friday.... ANOTHER "delivery restriction".... it says "local delivery restriction, delivery not attempted."
I was like.. WFT? and called Fed Ex....
The rep looked into it and said "It says here that it wasn't delivered due to local holiday". My eyes LITERALLY popped out! "Um..." I said. "There's no holiday today" I said. "I know," she said. I mentioned that MONDAY was a holiday and that my company had a "Mardi Gras" themed lunch today. She giggled. She called the local delivery center and asked about it. "Oh ... that entry is a mistake" she was told. I asked her if the local place could just hold it for me so I could pick it up Saturday morning and she passed that along and I'll now be picking up the package (yes.. PACKAGE 9lbs) tomorrow morning.
So.. props to today's FedEx rep and slops to local delivery. I hope that BOTH parts of the shipment will be there tomorrow when I pick them up. SSC shows that both shipped under the same tracking number but I'm expecting the worse because the FedEx tracker lists "item 1: 9lbs"
Here begineth my 3 day weekend.....

I know the feeling Oboewan. Good Luck!!
The driver got in a **** load of trouble for dropping it off at a different location and having that person (S. Adeva) sign for it using my name. S. Adeva turned out to be the guy that did our landscapping and was a friend of the drivers and just trying to help him out so he didn't have to come back after 4:00 with the boxes. He lives about a block up the road from us and bought it over to our place right at 7:30. I tell ya....what a nightmare. Anyways-below is Jabba in all his glory :)

Glad that worked out for you Beth, it was pretty scary and it's not even my stuff. I've had FedEx/UPS both drop stuff and it go missing. The manifest has said both times left at door ::) Neither time have I been able to claim anything from them either >:(
Stories like that are why I use my work address for stuff all the time now. They aren't overly pleased all the time, but someone always signs for it and it stays safe, a benefit of a very small office where everyone knows everything and I'm the only toy geek.
-
Glad it all worked out Beth, what a frickin nightmare. I sure hope the driver gets disciplined. Jabba looks great, are you planning on putting him under display glass?
-
are you planning on putting him under display glass?
Nope-I'll just have to keep up on the dusting ;)

Update!
So.. I got to FedEx around 9 Saturday morning and they couldn't find the packages. I explained everything that had transpired and they said that it might be on the truck that broke down of Friday. They said they'd let me know in 15 minutes or so. So I took off and went to TRU/Walmart/Target and still had not heard anything. I went back to them and they said they still hadn't located it. I had to be somewhere at 1 and they opened back up Tuesday. I heading back to my GF place and hung out and then got a call that they found it. So on my way out to my 1pm shindig, I stopped by and picked it up... but it was JUST the throne.. not the Jabba. I said.. where's the other one? They didn't know.... It turns out there was a 2nd tracking number that SSC hadn't sent me (they had both under the same one) so it turns out Jabba was on the truck out for delivery. I asked that they hold it and I'll pick it up Tuesday. To make a long story short (TOO LATE!!!) I picked it up this morning!
The throne just BARELY fits into my glass display case (and I'm glad it's a heavy duty one from the old WOTC store and will bear the weight), but I guess Jabba will have to "face the front" while everyone else is off to the right of the Throne. I can't wait to add him and the rest to it!

Well, it's good to read about another happy ending. Post a picture when you got your display all set up-I'd love to see it in a display case!!
-
I'm wondering if someone could do me a huge favor. I've decided to get a Jabba Sideshow figure but I just can't justify buying the throne enviroment. I thought I'd have a go a making a custom one. Could someone with one, take a few digital pictures for me?? I'd like to see the top down view to see the carved patterns. I'd also like to get a good close-up of the "eel" heads sticking out of the base. Also could you give me the overall measurements of the slab? Thanks a lot!
Edit: Nevermind on the pictures. I just realized that the otheR Site has a bunch of images in their databank. I would still like the overall dimensions though!
-
Product Type: 12-inch Figure
Product Size: 29" L (737mm) x 17" D (432mm) x 13" H (330mm)
Including Jabba: 16" H (406mm)*
Est. Box Size: 28" L (711mm) x 14" W (356mm) x 12" H (304mm)*
Product Weight: 20.00 lbs (8.64 Kg) *
That is the info from the sideshow website, but i think it is heavier than that.

Thanks, I saw that info on the website. However, I was hoping to get the dimensions of the actual slab. I'm sure the 13" is the height for the tallest part of the railing and fancy bowl thingie.
-
Brent, I do not own any 12 stuff but I recently just bought Jabba, throne and creatures its my favorite pieces of my collection. I paid too much I could have found some better deals and got Bib but I still do not regret buying. I highly recommend getting it you will not be disappointed. You can find the whole set including inclusive for $400 shipped. I paid more for that and have no inclusives and no bibs.
-
I bought a Jabba on eBay relatively cheap (brand new in a box). He didn't fit so well in my wife's curio cabinet. He'll have to find a new home.

I picked up Crumb and Bib using sideshow gift cards... so now I'm resigned to buying a throne or trying to make one. I'm still leaning on trying to make one but maybe that's just foolish thoughts.
-
Wow. His tail/body is way out of proportion! It tapers down much too fast. I'm glad I passed on these.
-
This week's Sideshow Newsletter is advertising a sale on the Jabba figure for subscribers.
I forgot to mention there's an e-coupon to save you $20.
-
I wonder where they're getting these things... Last year I supposedly got the very, very last one they had in stock.
:-\
