but he turned out great. I'm not a big SW fan but I do love this line. The only down part is the blaster holster. It's got this pseudo button which I haven't figured out if it broke or if it's suppose to come off. It doen't hold its place if it's suppose to come off. He has some sort of semblance to the actor, but I guess it doesn't really matter once he's next to Vader. Love the weapons but I don't think I'll ever use the ungloved hands. He's got these pen-like things that go on the outfit but haven't figured out how they go in. For now he'll be put away.

We'll get one.
SS is testing the waters to see what people are willing to pay for their stuff.
Once their prices are closer to Hot Toys it'll come out.

Yeah no kidding...the Hobbits are more expensive then the first LotR figs they did and it is getting worse...

And what the hell is wrong with Sideshow and their need to frustate us?
I mean we still need ALOT of important characters from both the LotR and Star Wars licenses and meanwhile they are releasing these characters that have little to no bearing on the story's. Pisses me off!

Did you see that April Fools Stealth Patient Zero? They had it listed at $100. I know it was a joke but you know they are seeing how many people tried to add it to their cart.

I'm not frustrated with SS and who and what they are releasing with both LotR or SW. Although I've been collecting both since the start my investment (emotional and/or financial) lingers in and out. I'm a fan just not a diehard fan of either.

I will pay money for a quality piece. Hot Toys has the excuse that their stuff is imports. From sideshow I expect a $100 max price tag.

I hear you about the quality.
Hot Toys, right now, is light years ahead of Sideshow.
If SS wants me to pay $120-$150 for their stuff then their sculpting has to improve.

Yeah true that! When I compare my HT RoboCop to that PF Robo, HT takes the cake!

HT is great. I don't like everything they make, but for the most part they hit the mark more often then not.

I just got mine in the mail too, I am a Star Wars fan, but this guy was just not very interesting to me...course now that I have him and see all he has, he's actually very nicely done, and I'm more than pleased with it. :) But, yeah, the whole price hike with Sideshow is...just, rat's ass, awful.

as a stand alone figure he ain't much to look at, but as a set he will look better.

...the two weapons he comes with are excellent.
