Me too dude. I never got him either. As a teenager I bought one and displayed it. Never liked the Gentle Giant one so I sold it. I'm excited to see it. I'd also love a Wampa statue.

Sideshow’s reasoning for missing that was that it was rushed out for the Con, and for whatever reason not a single person noticed it prior to others bringing it to their attention.

There may be some payment plan people who have their decisions altered/delayed, but I really doubt it's enough people for it to matter to them. From the business side, I really don't see the benefit of them showing things so far in advance. They rarely ever change a design and the impulse buyers have plenty of time to reconsider/see something else they'd rather have.

agree, new green looks better (way better imo) something about the gun arm still bugs me though.

SS looks like a fun place to work and nobody probably wanted to be “that guy” that pointed out something was wrong lol.

Definitely need to see more SW creature statues.

2. It's not

Show it now and impulse pre-orders become future cancellations.

But impulse pre-orders now with cancellations mean 135 USD NRD for them for each cancellations. Not a bad deal either.

For those still concerned about juggernaut's size, heres a quick comparison next to hulk. Juggernaut looks to be larger in mass and height.

Thoughts?

[cjacobs83]

crazy price difference though. 1390 vs 550

You can see both the apples match in size.

Those apples don’t appear to line up very closely.
