That thing is gonna be huge!

This is neat, but another of the things that make me just wonder why they're going with this when Hasbro did one already. I guess I'm maybe short-changing how the 1:6 line is "limited". I guess they can do almost anything so re-doing stuff is alright.
I'm just more wow'd by the Yoda Hut by comparison I guess, because it's brand new/unseen in the scale.

Looks cool and i am sure better than the hasbro one i have but a pass. Where is my rebo band!
-
cool. it looks like it is going to be the original 1977 version of the giant lizard. Quite a step up from the bizarre 1/6th version Hasbro made in the 1999 TPM version ???
-
The image revealed today is pretty slick... Almost a still from the original trilogy it seems. Really detailed... Hasbro's isn't as nice, I just wonder who is going to shell out for this? It's gotta cost an arm and a leg.

or the space that thing is going to be freakin humongous

That Dewback will be fantastic. Sure it is much better than Hasbro's. Then again Hasbro did not charge $200 which this thing will probably be if not more! I am sure the Sandtrooper will be another $125. I am looking forward to seeing a gallery of pictures and drooling at them regardless.

$300 bucks for an in scale based statue. Zero articulation, aww c'mon Sideshow. Looks nice, but pass.

I'd rather have Hasbro's articulated version than a 50lb statue of a dewback. It does look sweet, but $300 and no articulation...? No thanks.
-
Imagine if they'd done this as a plastic poseable figure though? I think $300 would be a pipedream.
-
I think they did a wonderful job with what it is. However, I just can't pay that price regardless. I am surprised they made it a statue to. The trooper looks good and the accesories are great. But I will just have to happy with Hasbro's 3 3/4 versions.
-
If it were me, I'd probably just buy Hasbro's... I prefer a "figure" too, at least in this case. Same with Hasbro's Taun-Tauns, etc. A statue is cool, it's much more detailed looking, but I am more into the action figure aspect than a statue.
-
Even if i had wanted it, learning that it is a statue would have made me pass anyway. And why is the stormtrooper so expensive. He seems high too.
-
All the extra gear. He comes with basically every weapon you could arm him with, an extra grey pauldron (further raising the debate of whether grey exists in the movies or not. I'm going with yes since SS tends to catch details nobody else can), etc. I think he's an "ultimate Sandtrooper", short of having a black pauldron so he's just a grunt.
-
Now that they made that Cantina environment it makes me want this Dewback even more. I still can't get it but it did raise him up on my want list. Someday, someday.

Got my Sandtrooper last night. Best. Figure Ever. The details on the weapons are amazing not to mention the sheer number that you get. I'm of the camp that the gray pauldron exists and I actually prefer it for grunts.
The Hasbro dewback works perfect as an alternative to the SSC one. Sure the details aren't as nice as the SS version but I think a separate saddle could be constructed inexpensively and, if you have the skill, a custom paint job for the dewback would look awesome. You can check out some of my photos of this on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150421235941799.351208.202559486798&type=1&l=ecd44104e6) until the mega-gallery is added later this week.
-
Yeah I really would love to have that trooper... I just don't get any SS stuff, but I'm hoping to catch up someday. To me, if they armed everyone like that, I'd be much more inclined to buy now than later though. Some of the Clones feel "naked" for gear... I'd like to see more stuff like "EU" items such as grenades, packs, and whatnot, included with some of the prequal grunts.

Funny how my collecting habits have changed. Now I am trying to track this down.
