The rumor mill has it that Dooku may show up in sixth scale from Sideshow someday...they did do a PF of him....
...and there is supposed to be a sixth-scale figure of Darth Malgus coming too - maybe he'll be on display at SDCC.
....so the line's not "dead", just very slow.
oh, and where's Assaj Ventress? She's one of the best Sideshow's done....

Sideshows marketing strategy has successfully broke down my Sith focus. Whilst waiting on them to produce 1:6 scale Count Dooku, i caved in and got myself some Clones.
I couldnt resist any longer their just too cool.
Gonna "try" and stick to the onscreen Clone Commanders with the exception of 501st clone(had to didnt i, it's Vader related) and Boba Fett.
Waiting on Neyo to complete the Commanders....
Marmit Sandtroopers

Marmit Sandtroopers
They all look great, I especially like the Marmit Sandtroopers..., did you get them when they were originally made or after market i.e. ebay??? I am just wondering as I haven't found many Marmit figures around & know from Sergiu that the company went bust.Sideshows marketing strategy has successfully broke down my Sith focus.

& with regards to clones, technically speaking Captain Rex falls into the Vader category doesn't he??? He is Anakin's right hand man in the Clone Wars after all.
Thanks for the compliments. The Marmits were bought on eBay around the time they were available to buy in shops.They all look great, I especially like the Marmit Sandtroopers..., did you get them when they were originally made or after market i.e. ebay???

The orange one was mint in box, and the white one came loose fully assembled. The Marmits are fragile and not as articulated as SSC or HT, but i think their overall appearance visually is far better than Sideshows (imo).
Sideshows Sandtroopers are highly detailed...the pauldrons look amazing as do the weapons/armour...but the deal breaker for me is the awful helmets, theres just something off about them compared to Marmits or Gentle Giants sculpt.
As for Rex, i think the Clone Wars are really cool, but i like to try n stick to the film saga characters:\
I'm not overly fond of Sideshow's 1:6 scale Stormtroopers or Sandtroopers & with regards to the helmets, I think they poke out too much at the sides, not sure why they did that really as the premium format statue looks ok (as long as you ignore the ovalness of the helmet of course)..., the 1:6 scale figures have poorly fitting armor in my opinion, not sure why they did such a bad job seeing as the clones are all fine?!?

Thought I'd dig Vader out his cardboard coffin for some fresh photos with the Marmit sandies.
I'm using a Hasbro dome on Vaders helmet, i didn't like the SSC dome it seemed kinda small...i also prefer the shoulder armour over the robes...so being accurate to ANH specifically isn't important to me.

That's a very nice looking Darth Vader figure, the changes you've made have certainly given the figure a better presence..., I think I prefer the shoulder armor over the robes too, on show is how it should be.Thought I'd dig Vader out his cardboard coffin for some fresh photos with the Marmit sandies.

Thanks for the feedback guys !
Im enjoying taking snaps of my collection and being able to share them with like minded people.
A few more single pics, I'll try my best to get a group shot later in the week. I wait until my kids are tucked up in bed before dragging this lot out...

lovin the pose u got on the emperor!
He does look very impressive, I decided to buy the Kotobukiya bounty hunters rather than the Sideshow versions..., if I had the spare cash I think I'd buy the Sideshow bounty hunters too but for the time being I'm happy with the choice I made. Love the light up feature on Boba's base, definitely a nice effect..., have you got a place for him to be displayed???

I've no space at all at the moment Kevin. Im hoping to move house in the near future and maybe gain a quiet corner somewhere away from the kids
I have a problem with lack of space & although me & my wife are moving next year, what was to be my collection room is now going to be the babies room SO that plan is out of the window. lolI've no space at all at the moment Kevin.
