I was just gona post this woot!

Everyone vote mara jade & Asajj Ventress

But what I wana know is ...

WHEN WILL WE SEE PICS?!!

I'm dieing to know what these look like so I can drop the smaller scale line down a bit...

[synch]

Too bad you can't pick multiple choices.... the only one I don't care for is " Quinlan Vos " Who the hell is he?..


Allso these guys are being quite anal, its hardly worth it to VOTE for all the trouble they make you do...

real name, email!
where you live!
& now we gota do something over email?!! they get a big From me on this one...

On the plus side I'm happy they are including the EU in the lineup, even if its just "one" lone figure in the waves, its nice to be able to pick!

Allso did they say there is going to be 12 figures a wave?... If so I hope these suckers are no more than $40 !! They could cover about half the starwars universe in 5 waves! If not all of it, with main charecters anyways..

[SaintDemon]

Voted for Kanos, I don't care for Vos or Jade.
My second choice would be Thrawn and then Ventress.

[Bespin refugee]

Asajj Ventress
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Kir Kanos
Mara Jade
Padmé (arctic suit)
Quinlan Vos

[JoeRhyno]

hmmm... it's a toss up for me.. Thrawn or Jade... I'd like a nice Wifey for my Luke... but then again... I'd like a nice evil blue meanie... hmmm...

[Preventer MK II]

This was a really hard choice for me. Kir Kanos is what finally sold me on the Expanded Universe, Thrawn and Mara are "old school" EU favorites, and the Clone Wars recently got me to look into Quinlan Vos and find out just how great he was.

For me, this ultimately came down to what could be marketed just as much as a toy as it would a collector's piece.

- Yah, Thrawn is one of the coolest EU villains, but he's just a smart man in a white Imperial uniform. Granted, Sideshow is known for making some pretty simplistic designs, but I can't imagine Thrawn looking any more appealing than the slew of Imperial officer figures that clog the shelves at one of my local TRU's
- My problem with Mara is more of a variety issue. Mara has the potential to be a great figure if they loaded her up with blasters and lightsabers and a flight jacket like her design in The Emperor's Hand, but they could just as easily go to that gaudy green and gold outfit a few of the early EU pics depicted her in. I'd rather not take my chances with it.
- Snow Bunny Padme... A figure based on one of the weakest moments of the Clone Wars series? Please. Sex appeal aside,this spot should've been left open for Aayla or another Clone Wars hero.
- Quinlan Vos. Great character, but I'd really only be interested in buying him if he was in his undercover duds, not his Jedi robes.
- Asajj Ventress. I never really cared for the character much, and in my eye, she's the only character whos' already received enough figure love from Hasbro. make room for some other characters.

And thus, this leaves me with who I voted for:

- Kir Kanos. Like I said, this guy sold me on the Expanded Universe. This would be Sideshow's opportunity to strut their stuff and show just how good they can be. Full armor plating, removeable helmet, hideous lightsaber scarring on Kanos' face, a variety of ranged and melee weapons -- This guy is perfect from a collector and kids POV.

I'm surprised to see that Dash Rendar or Kyle Katarn didn't end up on their. I'm sure they would've faired very well in all of this.

[Draven79]

Gee it does not take a genious to find out who I voted for!
How ever it was still hard as I REALLY want a VOS of any type. But like you P MK2 I am afraid it would be Vos in traditional Jedi robes. I want him in his more individual bad ass look.

[JoeRhyno]

well... I decided to take the bad arse himself Grand Admiral Thrawn, I've always wanted one after reading the novels.. heck, I even started mine.. butnever to the chance to paint his head and find a way to whiten his uniform, so maybe this will save me from doing it myself

[synch]

someone post sig of mara here for me please

[jjlecaros]

Mara Jade WOO HOO!!!!!

Ill have to get it when it comes out.

[oscam5]

Kir Kanos definately. Sideshow are great at armoured/masked characters.
Everyone else is visually boring [with the exception of Asajj, but I don't much care for her design].

[baron von winkler]

I had a hard time deciding between them all(Quinlon Vos, Thrawn, and Assaj especially), but ultimately went with Kir Kanos as I find him the most visually interesting(how cool will he be with all of the armor and weapons!?). Hopefully the others will eventually make the cut, but not before the core universe characters.

[evenflow]

I voted for Kir Kanos, I hope he wins and we get Carnor Jax as well. I do want a Vos as well though.

[psagem10]

I vote for Mara Jade... I know they are going to be 12'' but what will they be made of. Are they going to be like Star Wars Unleashed or articulated... also what price.

[Lord Amron]

So I guess I was the only one who voted for Vos... Quin Lon Vos is the man. I figure if they do make him he will wear what he wore for most of his Republic appearances (remember he only wore Jedi stuff like twice). Vote for Quin Lon Vos, the coolest Jedi ever!!!!!!!

[Darth Vader]

Kir Kanos all the way, this will truly prove to be an amazing sideshow figure, this will outshine all other 12" if done right.

[synch]

THey are fully articulated What would be the point of making another statue line like unleashed ?


I hope they come with good accesosorys, imo thats half the fun of larger scaled figures like this is the detail & playability of the accessorys...

IE be able to do stuff like, pose em all around with a light saber n hand... or just clip the saber onto there belt ...

To get an idea of the articulation, click here.
As for the price...

  ...the new 12" figures should cost around $40 - $55, with the possibility of deluxe figures in the future costing slightly more.

[synch]

As long as these look good & don't cost too much I'm totaly gona go after em If I can order em by the case I'll open my extras to boot !

[Draven79]
