Does anyone else here collect any of the 1/6th lines from the likes of Hot Toys and Sideshow Collectables ?
I have a few myself (will post pictures up tomorrow) but I have to be selective as they are to expensive for me to get them all.
I would be interested in seeing how everyone's displayed there's.
 
Does not look like there is much love for these here, Oh well I will show of some of mine anyway....
I will start with my favorite one first, love this guy...

The Tusken Raider is great the photo makes his outer jacket seem more red than it looks in real life

you will have to forgive me, I'm not the best at posing or futzing.
 
very nice,and i do like a lot of modern lines but these are a bit too expensive for me,i would rather spend that sort of money on vintage if im being honest.
 
I know what your saying about the cost of these things they seem to put the price up with ever new one they bring out, and now with Hot Toys doing Star Wars in the same scale its going to be expensive. That's why I only buy selected ones and pay for them in installments.
 
Picked this up....
I have to say that this is one of the best Sideshow have done they have knocked it out of the park with this, the thing is huge and amazing in every way

Really they are a great company to deal with and I would recommend them to anyone

I have to say I'm tempted by the R5 - D4 and the Jawas next
 
Nice collection you have there, Probe Droid looks fantastic. Here's a couple that I picked up recently, Bandai's die cast metal 1/6 C-3PO and Sideshow's R2-D2 (these are THE best 1/6 scale versions of the droids out there, imo). Also I just got the Hot Toys Stormtrooper twin pack, again the absolute best 1/6 scale Troopers around. Helmets aren't removable but they are clearly meant to represent Luke and Han as Stormtroopers, you even get the Mouse droid.

I was going to pick up R2 and 3-PO but I had to pass on them in the end, I've got the twin set of Hot Toys Stormtrooper on order they look great. I have passed on all the other Hot Toys Star Wars but that's only because of the cost of them all, I've got some costumes to try and Finnish of making.
I have to say I think the Bandai C-3PO is one of the best out there, a very nice piece in your collection.
 
Has anyone got this on Pre-Order? Jabba and throne.
I'm tempted only thing putting me off is the price and the size of it. (£749 and it is 13.25" tall and over 29" wide)

Great thread, lots of cool goodies here, I love 1/6 scale, can only afford the odd one here and there, the two Han Solos are sideshow body's with custom heads added, the Luke is a sideshow jedi and the Finn is hot toys

Some great stuff there Grinchy, I really like the Sideshow R2. In fact, R2 and 3PO are the next to on my list to purchase. I have limited that list to only the original film characters, which is bloody hard because some of the Rogue One figures are amazing (must be strong must resist)
 
Cheers mate, I like to stick to OT characters to, but I liked the Finn and Anakin so they slipped into the collection, the rogue one figures do look good especially Jyn I quite like the Krennic to, tempting :D
 
Some fantastic stuff here guys, I do like seeing some custom stuff. You are right about the Rogue one figures, Id love a Jyn and have tried so many times to nab one on ebay but just slips through my fingers.....Id only want to get the Delux version of her.

Obi wan has got to be my favourite, Id like a few versions of him and im hopping he will show up in his clone wars armour. This will become more likely with Cody and later next year Rex getting released so we will see him eventually, and I hope Anakin in armour as well so would give me a chance at least to obtain at least one version of him. Prices for normal and delux Anakin are horrendous.

Some id like to see in the future,
Hoth Luke,rebel soldier and maybe a Hoth Han. A Wompa would be amazing and seeing as they do some really big stuff from time to time Its possible.

As for oddities and unique stuff maybe sideshow would bring us a Dr Aphra, im looking at maybe making a complete custom Aphra in Hoth storm trooper outfit.

Ill take some pics of mine, in the the process of redoing the spare room and ordering some Ikea shelving cases so I can unpack more stuff :roll: :lol:
I wish I had not lost my images of the old ww2 6th scale collection I used to have in my early teens, mostly custom built British infantry figures I used to build. Even hand made Dennison smocks, parachute harnessing and drop canisters to far east jungle warfare. A lot can be made for sure if you put your mind to it.

I Cant find out much about it, but it looks like at some point Sideshow did do a Clone Wars Obi-Wan. (Unless this is a custom.)

They did indeed do a clone armour version, and id like one but the ones on ebay are always at stupidly high BIN prices :roll:, Id get him at some point and put an after market head on I think, unless HT do a version along with Anakin in armour. maybe...

Id love the Hoth Luke and Han they did too, might have a hunt for them at some point.
 
There are so many I would like to get, they are just so damn pricey, :D i'm not a cheapskate honest but if i can nab a bargain i will, at the moment the Anakin is a favourite, paid just over a 100 for him, i'd been watching the hot toys version a few times, but every time it went into silly money for both versions, i'm happy with my custom, so detailed and that head sculpt just spot on.
I need a 3p0 to go with R2, they again are pretty pricey, maybe i'll get lucky, good luck on the hunt guys :D
 
Whilst I probably wont be getting him, I have kept my eye on Lando. Its good to see sideshow are still coming out with the odd character from time to time, and the quality does look rather good.


Im a bit tired of the endless cantina/sail barge stuff though..... :lol:

Really?
I wish they would do more of the Aliens from the Cantina or the sail barge, I'm getting bored of Boba Fett/ Vader/ stormtroopers etc all the time. But I suppose they have to do what will be big sellers.
 
Don't get me wrong, I like them but everyone and their son is doing them in various scales. Tons of stuff they could do though, I just feel like the cantina is a massive rabbit whole. :lol:

Not saying thats a bad thing though

Looks like Hot Toys are going to be releasing a new Obi-Wan Clone Wars figure.
