Sideshow 1:6 ESB Probe Droid (Hoth Probot)
« on: December 01, 2013, 04:55:07 AM »
Didn't realize there is no topic about this iconic ESB Probe Droid that will be released by Sideshow and is up for pre-order for a few days already. It costs $250 and comes with light and sounds.

I agree this is a pretty cool offering. I will probably bite if they offer a sale or something. Waiting on that great Hoth Han, Luke, and Taun Taun too.

I pre-ordered this, because is way too cool not to have it, really iconic, but canceled the 1:6 ESB Vader

An interesting thread at RPF where I asked about the accuracy of the Sideshow Probe Droid - seems it will be modeled after the 1:1 prop, and also a talented RPF member worked on it with Sideshow: http://www.therpf.com/f79/sideshows-1-6-probe-droid-accuracy-help-190579/

A few more pics of this bad boy:











And a photo of the 1:1 Probot, since the SS version is made after it:

This is one item that I am really excited about. I simply cannot wait to get this in. So how many folks have this on pre-order?

I am debating on the pre-order. I jsut think that with these items they cost a lot more than I am willing to spend plus I have no where to display something so massive!

I will be honest, I think this one has me the most excited out of all the Hoth Items they have coming up this year. I am gonna have to be super picky when it comes to what I want though, these things just cost too much.

I think this excites me more than the eFX 1:1 helmets that should come this year. The Probot is a piece I wanted for a long time, the Attakus 1:5 statue was too fragile and also not too accurate, and the 2 RPF studio scale kits were a bit too expensive, and you also needed someone talented to assemble the kits professionally. So this 1:6 figure, made by Sideshow with the help of a RPF professional, is a great option.

The quality of Sideshow is unparalleled, but with the cost you have to be pretty picky. This is the one must have item I think if OT Fans have to pick they will pick this one.

Glad at least here imageshack didn't delete my pics... Anyway, since I don't like the bobblehead famished Snowtrooper Premium format, part of the money I had saved for it will go towards the Probe Droid.
