Toyguide Update: Sideshow 12″ Sandtrooper Desert Sands Detachment

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the 1:6 Scale Sandtrooper – Desert Sands Detachment from Sideshow Collectibles.

PROS: Sideshow releases what may be my favorite item thus far in their “Militaries” line. Accuracy and attention to detail in this piece are equal to none. The improved deco and weathering adds to the authenticity and realism. The included accessories and weaponry make nearly infinite configurations for display. Works well with the Hasbro produced Dewback from 2000.

CONS: Price maybe prohibitive for some collectors. Once you have one, you’ll want the previous sandtrooper releases if you don’t already have them in your collection.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

Toyguide Update: Sideshow 12″ Figrin D’an

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the 1:6 Scale Figrin D’an from Sideshow Collectibles.

PROS: Excellent sculpt and paint treatment for the portrait and hands. Instruments are well done. Tailoring of the fabric is on par with most Sideshow releases.

CONS: Although well sculpted where applicable, the $100 price tag seems a bit excessive considering what you get for $20 more in Sideshow’s clone trooper offerings. That being said, I think it will be tough to justify “getting the band back together” if you catch my meaning.

Look for it to ship in late 2012.
