New line fom Sideshow making it's debut at Toy Fair tomorrow. Here's the sneak peek at the first one:
Anakin vs. Obi-Wan Diorama (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?page_id=2613)
(http://www.sideshowtoy.com/placed/021007swvs.jpg)
It says they will be in 1:9 scale, which makes them about 7-8", correct? Makes you wonder if this is why we aren't getting any new Unleashed Figures from Hasbro in 2007...
-
Cool, I can hardly wait for the classic Vader/Obi battle. Luke/Vader should be pretty neat too.
-
I think this will be a mostly PT-based series, won't it? Besides Vader vs Obi-Wan and Vader vs Luke, how many OT could there be? The PT is filled with Anakin vs Obi-Wan, Mace vs Jango, Emperor vs Yoda, Dooku vs Anakin, etc etc.
-
$50 to $350 huh? I'd imagine the regular two person ones are on the lower pay scale (like Anakin and Obi Wan). What's going to cost $350? Palpatine vs. Mace, Kit, Saesee and Agen? Or maybe since Sideshow has a hard on for Jabba - Luke "vs." Jabba and his goons?
I don't know if I'll buy these or not, I'll wait and see. The Obi Wan and Anakin does look good, though.

:o :o :o :o Holy Crap when is THAT coming out? :P
-
Anakin is pretty rad but Obi looks like he's about to fall off. :-\
-

Maybe not...
The little sign at Toy Fair says that the Obi-Anakin set here will cost $280 (http://www.galactichunter.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=37&pos=17). :o
Yeah, at nearly $300 with shipping and such, I'm definitely out.
-
Neat idea, but sideshow is too expensive and large to fit into my collection personally. For those that can get/display them, they should look great-

Yikes. This thing is nice, but not $280 nice. Plus, I just don't have the room.
Pass for me.

Agreed, it's a great looking piece, but I'll be passing at that price. I'm hopeful that the next one will be OT based and maybe I'll consider it.
-
:P :P :P You got to be kidding I would like to have it,but not at THAT price ::) :-X
-
Sideshow has revealed the next piece in the line...
‘Look Sir, Droids’ Sandtrooper Enviorama (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?page_id=3332)
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/7-07/sideshow_looksirdroids.jpg)
-
Oofah that is nice!
I love these and wish I was able to get into this line. The Ani/Obi one was really iconic and the cave exclusive was neat, but man the Sandtrooper one is just outstanding and drool-worthy. Any diorama builder should be busting his butt to buy those because they're just perfection really.
-
I think I am passing on these going on... Not really into it.
Trying to get rid of my C-IV slug now... :P
-
I am not buying this line, but i do think it looks very nice. Still a pass for me though.
-
I'm curious to see what the rest of it looks like and what the size is. I really like the scene, and the first shot looks awesome.
-
Really not into this one... Still have to sell my slug...
-
Placed my preorder- at $70 it is a pretty cool piece- I'll display it with the Gentle Giant Dewback
-
The pre-order (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&query=^basic_search.sql&q1=2203&source=page3718) for the "Yoda Vs. Count Dooku" Diorama is up!
The Exclusive version is already sold out, but if you ask me, the regular one is much better. Who wouldn't rather have a colored version?
(http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/2203_press01-001.jpg)
-
Did anyone see that the exclusive version of the Yoda Vs. Dooku is a really terrible looking faux bronze version? There's only 100 and of course they sold out in just a few minutes, but why would anyone want one of those when you could have this beautiful colored version? Furthermore, how are they going to have an exclusive version of this, but not have one for the first one they did, the Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin?
In other news:
I've been reading reports that the hands are really loose on the Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin statue. I figured nothing would be moving on this thing since it's a statue, but I guess I shouldn't assume. For the amount of money we are paying for these, they should be perfect. I'll know on Tuesday when mine arrives.
-
I think the people that buy the exclusive version will most likely get one of the regular versions as well, and then pose them together....that's what I would do if I were getting these.
Odd about the loose hands on the Obi-Wan vs Anakin....perhaps these are some sort of modular thing you have to assemble.
-
I'm reading a lot of comments from people that said they wanted it simply because they are only making 100 and something like that should certainly hold it's value. That brings into question why you would be buying it though. Are you going to resell it or keep it? Hmmm.
-
Well, I got my Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan today and I'm real happy. This thing looks better than I remember from Celebration IV and it's so heavy! As for the complaints about the loose hands, I can understand how that would sound bad, but they have magnets in them to make sure they don't fall out. I questioned why they didn't just attach them and ship them complete, but seeing them in person and realizing how delicate the hands with the sabers are, it makes perfect sense and I'm fine with it. Well done Sideshow....bring on the Dooku Vs. Yoda.
-
I got my shipping notice for the "Look Sir, Droids" piece. It should be here on Monday. I'm really hoping this thing looks as good as the pictures I've seen.
-
Well, I decided to wait until tonight's Tampa Star Wars Collector's Club meeting to open my Diorama. Everyone thought it was just stellar. You don't need a Hasbro action figure when you've got one of these. Absolutely amazing piece. My only complaint is the lack of detail to the inside of the pod. There isn't an inside really. I got #98 of 1250 which has to be the lowest number I've ever gotten on anything. ;D
-
I'm pretty excited about the next Diorama from Sideshow. "Duel of the Fates"! I'm hoping that they'll do the three of them fighting on the catwalk. That would be extremely cool. However, no matter what they do, I'm sure it's going to look cool, so I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures.
-
Duel of Fates should actually be in the Versus section as it not suppose to be a Diorama... but the larger scale Versus piece.
-
My only complaint is the lack of detail to the inside of the pod.
What about the missing Sandtrooper footprints?
It was the immediate thing I noticed when I first saw the photos on the website.

I didn't even notice that. :o Hmm...I'll have to take a look at it tomorrow and see what it looks like again.

I'm in! This looks like it's going to be incredible.

I have one of these sets as well- I love sandtroopers, the dewback scenes, etc. so this was an easy purchase. I wish they had added some sandtrooper prints- I had posted about that on the sideshow site as soon as they showed the test shots. But what I am most disappointed about is the size- those sandtroopers are tiny. I don't know how long I'll keep this one-

I had hoped they were just missing on the test shots as well, otherwise I would have been interested in picking this up.
Did Sideshow respond to your post?
-
No, they never replied-

No, they never replied-
Too embarrassed :-[ ;)
-
Anyone else pre-order the Duel of the Fates Diorama? I think it looks very good. I love it when they do these statues so it looks like they are in mid air with no stands. Reminds me of the Scout Trooper and Speederbike that GG did a while back. I pre-ordered mine from Mike at Razors Edge for $270.00 instead of Sideshow's $300.00.
-
I did mine with Sideshow with the Flex-pay.Too bad the lightsabers don't light up.Very Cool piece though.I have to have my Qui-Gon :)
-
I did.... have to have it for my Maul Collection....
-
Even though the scale of this and the Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan is the same, this one is much smaller in size which is nice. I might actually be able to display this on the shelf. I just simply don't have enough room or shelf strength for the other one right now, so in the box it will stay.
