LOL!!Yes a lot of more "main" guys like Endor Sergeant Chubby-Cheeks,Nameless Endor Rebel Infantry Soldier,and Bib Fortuna.

Personally,I can think of a lot of characters that deserve figures made of them BEFORE Bib Fortuna,but I guess Jabba needs someone to stand next to him and make him less ugly.

If Sideshow gives us some TRUE EU characters (and I'm not talking about recent "favorites" like Asajj Ventress...I'm right along the lines of characters like Exar Kun,Ulic Qel-Droma,Dash Rendar, and of course...Mara Jade) then I'll happily start cashing in on Sideshow's products.

I am a big Star Wars EU fan and I have been for a while and I'm so tired that companies like Hasbro and now Sideshow are cashing in on making figures of characters that have less screen presence or appearance time than all the stars in the space scenes in the movie. I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't given the movie's opening intro. montage its own action figure yet.

I'm excited about Hasbro's upcoming EU comic packs (though not the Marvel ones) and hoping that Sideshow follows suit with more EU characters....but come on!Most longtime EU fans I know want OTHER characters (ex. Exar Kun,Kir Kanos,Thrawn) and have wanted figures of them for years before new EU characters like Asajj Ventress came around.



Totally agree about the "Endor Soldiers" Bardoon, but I think Bib is a fairly relevant figure to be made.

SSC have released lots of main characters like Obi Wan, Anakin, Luke etc. So I think it's quite nice at the same time to get some of the minor characters like Bib and Kit Fisto as well. At least they're not figures modelled on SSC employees and most SW fans know who they are.

I'd love a Grand Admiral Thrawn from the EU line. I'm not a big fan of the EU but would buy Thrawn, Xizor and Asajj. Other than that probably not much else emoticon.

Re: Star Wars Expanded Universe Sideshow.......


I think SSC has released a fair amount of main and secondary characters so far. As far as the Endor soldiers goes, I like 'em. We'll probably never see them from any other company, so I bet this is our only chance at getting these troops at this scale. I also like the idea of the different versions, it does hurt the wallet if you want all three though..

My only beef with their roster so far is that there aren't enough bad guys released or announced yet.

Obi-Wan is rad though! Every SW fan should have one emoticon .

Re: Star Wars Expanded Universe Sideshow.......


I honestly don't mind waiting for Vader or Stormtroopers, I'd rather get some new bodies and have them nail the sculpt, than rush one out. They can make Endor troops and secondary and triciary characters all they want, gives me time to save. Plus it gets attention, a 12" Ventress, that's awesome even if I don't want it, it's cool for fans of her. Plus waiting gives me time to save and/or buy more Medi figures, that's seriously all I've been buying in this time. Medicom and SS PF figures, so waiting is cool with me. Vader will come, but I reall don't think I'll like it MORE than my Medicom ROTJ one, so it won't totally knock my socks off. I want an Old Ben!
