That definitely looks like Kylo's fabric. If Iron Studios gets US distribution for their SW stuff this could come in around $700ish maybe.

There was a lot of Joker stuff that was cut out from the theatrical release. Jared Leto is pretty pissed about it too. There were quite a few behind the scenes vids online where he is slapping Harley around, and they were nowhere to be found in the movie. I'm guessing the studio decided to cut these out because it probably would have caused whining from women's abuse groups. That really sucks, because I think we would have gotten a version much closer to the comics. Its sounds like they are planning to at least include most of the deleted stuff on the Blu-ray.



I'm thinking by the look of the pattern of the fabric its either Kylo or Palps. Vader's cape looks smooth, and there definitely looks like there is a pattern in the fabric. Unless my eyes are going and I'm imagining I'm seeing something that isn't there LOL.

Its more likely my eyes are going. I can't see the pattern you guys speak of. I do hope the get to sell these here. They can do Marvel here, yeah?

Yeah they can sell 1:4 Marvel through Sideshow and a few other places too. But they can't sell their 1:3 DC, looks like Prime 1 has sewn up the 1:3 DC US distribution rights. I'm just hoping SS doesn't try to do everything they can to monopolize the entire SW 1:4 statue license here. If they do these won't be any cheaper to get in the US than an XM piece. They haven't done a 1:4 DC piece yet which is already making me think SS might have that completely sewn up too.

I bet that's what will happen though. SS doesn't want that kinda competition when it comes to statues. Who knows. Hope I'm wrong.

I hope it doesn't happen either but it won't surprise me if it does. If it does it will take my excitement level down so many notches.

I wish Sideshow had the distribution rights to ALL of the Iron Studios stuff. I was disappointed there's no way to get that Superman vs. Doomsday statue (although I think it's waaaay overpriced for 1/6 scale).

FYI: The father of Boba Fett and equally accomplished bounty hunter will be joining Sideshow Collectibles line-up of Star Wars collectibles. The Jango Fett Premium Format™ Figure will be available for Pre-Order on Thursday, September 1, 2016!

That Supes/Doomsday dio does look really freaking cool though. I agree the price is insane though. I saw Secret Compass has it for $1400. Do you know how much more that is than retail?

I wonder how much Jango will cost.

I would guess that's probably $500 more than retail. Even at $900 (plus shipping), that's way too much for two 1/6 scale statues.

It would be nice if he's the same price as Boba was. Heck he was in development for two years so he might be less since he's (kind of) an older PF. That's probably wishful thinking though!

No doubt!

I saw that. As much as I've wanted Jango, I'll probably pass. Simply due to focusing on those who carry lightsbers. I dunno, we'll see.

I imagine the same as Boba.

That's true. He could be less. But, it is SS, LOL!

SS logic will be that because it took 2 years to develop it should cost 2 times the price lol.

No doubt!

I'll be passing on Jango. I really love the character but I'm just not loving the base or pose.

That's funny because the more I look at Jango the more he's growing on me. It would look cool having the two bounty hunters on my TV speakers. I noticed that his suit is a lot bluer than their 1/6 scale figure that was purple.

This should pair up nicely with the new Boba PF. I think both of those would display better out in the open like you are planning, rather than confined into a besta cube. I think this one looks bluer than their 1:6 too. Wait, we're not going back into the blue vs purple thing again are we?

I've wanted Jango for so long it's hard to pass on it. I may get it, I may not. We'll see.

LMAO! SS logic indeed! Nailed it!

That would make a killer display.

There is a chance if there is nothing else out there I want when it starts shipping I might pick it up. Although I think if I got him I'd have to put him on the top shelf of my besta to get him to fit and be fully seen. I just don't know if I see him as a top shelf character though LOL.

True. Although, if you were to pair him with Boba, that'd be a top shelf display.

Yeah that definitely would. That would make one seriously epic Besta cube if they both fit.

Ha ha, no! We already determined from actual pictures of the suit that it's more purple than blue...but I think it looks better as a blue color. So I've decided the only way XM can make their Maul better than Sideshow's is to make him so he pairs up with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to recreate the best lightsaber duel ever. If they can make a 3 piece Vader statue then why not that?!

How was everyone's weekend? I hung out with my nephews a lot and also finally watched the first season of True Detective. Pretty good weekend.

I had a pretty relaxing weekend, did some grilling which is definitely one of my favorite things to do in the summer. I've got so many TV shows to catch up on, but I just can't get myself motivated to get back into them.

The blue definitely does look better.

Man if XM would do that I have no idea how I could possibly resist that. But I'm sure they'd make the bases all interconnect somehow and I don't know where I could possibly fit something that would be that huge. One big ass piece I wanted was the 1:6 HT Keaton Batmobile, but I never bothered because I couldn't fit it anywhere. I'm assuming I'd have the same issue with a 1:4 diorama set, if they make it so you can display them separately then I'd more than likely go for it.

What did you grill up? Have you ever seen True Detective? Alexandra Daddario gets naked...plus it was a great show. Probably won't bother with the second season, haven't heard good things about it.

Yeah those 1:6 vehicles are monsters! I saw a picture of someone with the tumbler, it was crazy how much space it took up. I think XM could make it so the bases hook together, but also make it so they look good on their own. That would definitely be a grail piece if they ever made it! I remember in high school I had the three banks of Maul, Obi, and Qui-Gon that hooked together and would fight each other.

Just made some brats. Definitely one of my all-time favorite summer meals.

I have not seen True Detective, but I have seen the Alexandra Daddario nudes online . That chick has an absolutely epic rack!

I've seen people use fish tanks for their HT 1:6 cars, which work pretty well, but this dude made a totally epic display:



I'm not going to lie, I totally want that.

I have the Darth Maul bank around somewhere. Those were really awesome for the time. I'm sure if I manage to find it, it would probably be dead beyond repair at this point.
