It's nice but I dont get the design of the base. Being a PF, is this Probe Droid poseable like the 1/6 scale one, or is it solid polystone? and what would the height be?

 

[BenObi_70]

I'm good with my 1/6 scale SS probe. And I prefer the snowy/rocky base that it's on.

 

[rnbuda]

I love it...any word on lights/sounds?

 

[cocofett]

From the interview video:
Legs are magnetically attached
Hinges won't move but legs can pivot/spin
Top will spin
Gun/sensor pieces on top will articulate
Lights and sound
Eye will light up
Knob on top section will be used as a button

I believe this PF will be resin, unlike the 1/6 which was plastic. But the 1/6 as a fully articulated figure had a fantastic appeal to collectors, especially because of that excellent articulation.

Anyway, depending on price I might get the 1/4 one too, though not sure if I have a place to display it yet, which will also be the second reason if I pass on it.

The base looks odd. It looks like a Cylon Basestar. I have the 1/6th scale with snow base. I like that one.

The 1/6 is a beauty. And it is pretty accurate, a RPF modeler was involved in creating it, the same guy who also worked on the EFX TIE Fighter.

As someone who owns the and loves the 1/6 scale version, I'm trying to talk myself into buying this.

 

[cocofett]

Up for pre-order on Sideshow for $875.
ETA Jun - Sep 2023.

 

[jkno]

I'm in no hurry to pre-order this to be honest, especially since the 1/6 was so good already. The price is a bit much, and in EU it might be a bit even more. We'll see

 

[jkno]

Add the snow base on the 1/6 and it looks even better

 

[BenObi_70]

Add the snow base on the 1/6 and it looks even better

Right. And it's light enough to use an acrylic rod with no issue.

I am quite happy with my original 1:6 version, so this will be a pass for me, but it is good looking.

This is closer in scale to the stop-motion puppet which is 32 x 32 x 63 cm.

There are very accurate studio scale models which can be bought for slightly more than this PF.

On WL.

Just received the PF Probe Droid!

 

[AbsolutePower]

I'm a little confused, this went from sold out/waitlisted to now back up for preorder with delivery in 2025. Did I miss something?

Not too sure, its been almost a year too.

Either they expanded the ES or they never did the full 1000 ES run. SS appears to be investing heavily in their 1/4 scale for Star Wars again.

They really need to do another Speederbike 1/4, I'd buy that in an instant.
