The scuff mark on his forehead was already present at 6:14, could it have come damaged? Might be able to ask for a replacement head sculpt from SS.

[@bobafeet1234]

Very nice looking figure! But I totally agree that pretty much anything Sideshow puts out should be like $150-$175. They have no business charging $300+ for figures that are clearly inferior to Hot Toys, InArt, JND, in terms of materials, engineering, likeness, and paint apps. It's hyper competitive out there right now.

[@2NDCBT]

My question is this, since when did it become 'okay' to spend $280 on an action figure only to 'Expect it to deteriorate" I can't get past that. I have 59-year-old Gi joe's that are still in great condition after all of these years. And these Modern Figures have a shelf span of close to only ten years? I don't get it! SMH.

[@williampatrick5730]

I have hotttoy figures that are over 10 yrs old and sill in excellent condition and the ones I have that are that old are the Terminstor ones and a few others.

[@Snavels]

Before I say this, I think the complaint is completely valid, however there are many many ways to prevent deterioration. The problem is that at a certain point, certain materials cannot last forever without some care. When cared for regularly, a figure could pretty much last indefinitely, it's when collectors do not care for their figures that time takes its toll.

[@genefactor007]

Jorge! My brother, you just saved me $300! The funny bit is I don't know why I expected a different result. The thing is it's Cad Bane, a guy who is in my top 3 favorite Star Wars characters. I think that blinded me. Hell I bet most people took that leap of faith due to it looking so much like his animated self. I mean the look is spot on. But man, that doesn't mean anything if the execution is off. That leads me back to, 'I don't know why I expected a different result.' Oh well. That saved me $300 that can go towards my the other Hot Toys figures I have on pre-order. Thanks for the review my friend.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Yea its the character. He is such a cool addition to the Star Wars lore that I had to give this a try. But this is the last time for me. I'll just stick to Hot Toys for figures and Sideshow for statues. No problem bro!

[@Dinosreviews]

Sideshow is so far behind Hot Toys. Glad I got the Hot Toys Cad Bane, just wish he would have come with an optional bigger hat

[@Freddys-Collection]

That figure looks stellar! And you have him standing without a base in a number of poses. That really negates you're early complaints about it.

[@Escaped-FromHellview]

Those basse pieces are very intricate, never seen one that needs that much assembly

[@waynesbutler]

I feel your pain, thats why i stick with Hot Toys, been collecting for awhile and Sideshow 1/6 bodies have always been hit or miss, the joints especially are terrible for posing which is why when they get the soft goods correct you replace the body with a HT equivalent when ever possible which isnt always the case.

[@UserName-vv1ws]

What's crazy is SS makes the figures I want.. the clone wars animated figure but the cost + the QC fails in comparison to HTs. I'm sure HTs will do them at some point and we'll all be better for it The cost of 1/6 figures is getting out of control idk I'm but 1/4 what I would normally get due to shipping + figure cost SS should do a monthly subscription for free shipping lol

[@oschu7820]

Action figures from SSC are always good to unbox, pose them carefully and never touch them again. The bodies are awful as hell, the joints are getting loose by simply look at them and they are fragile too (Think about the speeder bike). Statues are the thing to deal with sideshow, but the figures aren’t...

[@biggreeve5511]

Well I preordered it and got it about a week ago. I actually didn’t pose it or anything in hopes someone would make a video (you did) and now I’m probably just gonna have him in a museum pose

[@arcort669]

Invest in a resin printer and print it yourself.i did and happily printing and painting my own 1/6, 1/4 scale model diaramas and busts.

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Send it back, but I have learned that as soon as I am happy with a figure I need to protect the paint with a Clear Coat especially the head.

[@ledzeppelinfan12344]

This isnt even surprising anymore. I only collect the older sideshow figures like clones and jedi from pre ~2015. Only problem i ever has is maybe the joints get a little loose over time. Ive gotten one newer one which was Luke with his 3 ROTJ outfits. Ankle joint broke, lightsaber broke, and every wrist peg was floppy. Never again.

[@williampatrick5730]

I got the figure yesterday and had no problems with it. The only thing i have a complant was waiting 13 months to get it.

[@flex_sw77]

Thanks for a very honest review…continue to do them bro!

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thanks bro!

[@sithrae2247]

See I was so worried about my Anakin Padme AOTC figures because of the whole experience I had with the original clone wars Anakin. Out of the box. He was just straight up broken. His leg joints completely dislocated. He sounded like a maraca. The gauntlet kept on falling off. It was just horrible.

[@sandermertens9309]

@HyperdriveStarWars where did you get the turning table for the statue?

[@dereklee7009]

I returned Anakin and kenobi and abandoned the line. I was super excited about them but the quality was very poor

[@Daniel-z2f3q]

Amazing room! Awesome job

[@nelsonc6173]

That's why I buy my figures used. Just plain cheaper and the figures from Hottoys and SS are NEVER PERFECT and always develop problems. Even Highly collectible figures can be found for cheaper prices eventually. Just be patient and you'll find someone willing to sell cheap. It's never worthwhile to pay full prices for any of these figures. The prices are just going up and up and while I'm not a crazy collector like some people...not even close as my collection is small...the high cost just adds up quickly. Go used go aftermarket.

[@Retro_Kid80]

I stopped after yoda was released because the price was not on par with the quality. Sideshow does make amazing statues and those seem to be on point but they really should lower the price of their 1:6 figures to half what they charge now or just get out of that game all together. Plus there are plenty of 3rd party suppliers that make better quality figures for less money than sideshow.

[@NocturnalMantis]

Ugh, stop buying them. Not until they start sending them for a review, and after they redeem themselves.

[@JediWannaBe]

Love your honesty in your reviews Jorge

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thank you!

[@Jayqone1]

I already bought it but this review might have swayed my decision, I to love this character and have the show Hot Toys version which I love but I wanted the animation version also, guess I’ll be posing it and walking away. Thanks for the great review.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thanks for watching!

[@jasonludwick3504]

I gave up on the 1/6 figures way too many QC issues for the price

[@santiagogaray1992]

Thanks for all info. That will help much

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Omnivolv]

Maybe they should stick to statues

[@LUIZS87]

Having trouble getting the rod in the whole? Just get some baby oil from Diddy to make it easier

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Haha! 😂😂😂

[@dan3dprint183]

I don't understand why people still buy 1/6 figures made by Sideshow they are overpriced and they have bad reputation especially for the crap body's they use. The last one I have its the Wolverine 1/6 and buy with points. the arms arrived with scratches they offer me $20 because they don't have parts for replacement one week later they have the figure in preorder again. Also had the Superman 1/6 and one arm broke then a leg and never posed the figure.

[@caffeinatedcomicfan7592]

Great review and very helpful!

[@princediesel1]

[@bossprime369]

Good unboxing and review. i think Todo is suposed to be flying over cad, thas why the longer pole.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thank you!

[@Daniel-te2rq]

This is a great figure

[@briguy_3840]

The Hot Toys Book of Boba Fett Cad Bane looks amazing but I didn’t get it because I wasn’t really impressed with the source material. With the popularity of the Character and the Hot Toys Clone Wars line, I think a Clone Wars Cad Bane is a forgone conclusion. I’m waiting for that one.

[@thatwaswimbledon]

this is so sad, i preordered mine since i am new to 1/6 figures and i love cad bane he my favorite character, now im upset that i spent so much of my money... i got a mandalorian figure from them and that actually fell apart and i thought it was just a fluke but i guess its a testament to poor quality from them

[@StarWarsAddict88]

Thanks for the review, I'm going to have to pass on this one now.. their prices for what you get doesn't add up.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

No problem!

[@Captain_Fordo77]

Very insightful video. Please do more 1/6 scale figure reviews if you get the time!

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Thanks! Will do!

Looks amazing

[@Escaped-FromHellview]

I feel this is like 180 dollar max even 145

[@CM-nm8di]

It looks really cool but I know how is the quality of Sideshow, the worse figure of my collection is the Sideshow's R2D2, it is a crap.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Dude I have that one also. It feels so cheap. I took a chance only because it was Cad Bane but I should have known better.

[@luisjimenez8424]

I loved it when your head was almost exploding with rage LOL, sideshow should stay in the line of statues, and leave the 1/6 figures to hottoys

[@numbone]

No one wants something loose on the rod!

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Nothing and I mean nothing worse (lol), than when u spend a high amount of dough on a fig only to find that its busted straight outta the box. So distressing.

[@Wuirox]

bro it sucks it is so delicate and so poor executed, really cheap from sideshow. its design looks great but after this video I would definitely not buy it. Thank you for the content you provide I really appreciate it and I respect the fact you are not afraid of showing us the ugly sides of collecting which, at some point, we all go through. Great video and keep it up!

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Yea man. I think with Sideshow, I'll just stick to the statues from here on out.

[@ragingmando5956]

That is a hot mess. As far as Todo goes, that is really the character design issue. Unless it is really big, they can't make the parts thick enough. My 1/3 scale 3d printed one broke because of how he is designed. Too thin.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Yea that makes sense.

[@rlebz]

Will the hat fit the Hot Toys version ? 😊

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Idk. Wish I had that version to compare.

[@8474Starscream]

Fool me once shame on you Fool me twice shame on me! Nope Sideshow is a sound Distribution Center outside of that not so much. Pass on all 1/6 Sideshow offerings I learned way back when with the 1/6 G.I. Joe line.

[@Omnivolv]

How can you mess up a stand …… 😅

For that price the shipping box is a joke so is the packaging dude wtf. WACK

>Year of our lord 2024. >People still buy Sideshow trash.

Damn, everything Sideshow makes is just garbage. I had their Jango Fett years ago and every bit of glue dried up at once and the thing looked like it exploded. I will NEVER buy any figure Sideshow makes. They are horrible.

[@Evadious-2022]

I tip my hat to you sir for putting your time into making this video for us. But good god, Sideshow has got to stop trying to make one sixth scale figures since they are all trash. In my opinion, I definitely prefer the hot toys version of CAD over this catastrophe. Thank you for the video just once again to reinstate that I would never put my money into this company for their figures

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@Libertycustom73]

Anyone surprised? Nope. Sideshow can't be trusted.

[@grahamoliver3306]

Try living in Australia, we’re always last to get them 😢

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

I'm surprised. I would think Australia being so close to China would see them earlier.

[@stryker-4733]

Where I appreciate Sideshow creating some of these six scale figures that hot toys is taking a long time to create the fact that to this day they can't find the right bodies to put these figures in and then to make it even worse with this scum and villainy line the amount of money that you want for these figures 280 I mean why would someone want to pay that when you're having some of these figures break on you so easily everybody had their share of problems with that broken Grievous and now 6 scale figures you still have a problem with

[@brandonoltman4411]

They did ok with Mythos boba but the body is absolute shit. I compare Sideshow to 3zero figs. Get the representation but with shit bodies and pleather that will flake in 3 years. But the price hikes are definitely not worth it when compared to other 3rd parties makers.

[@Freddys-Collection]

Jeez. Nice biased review! You came in hot with a lot of disdain for Sideshow and self hate for spending money on it. No wonder you sound unhappy. Stop buying things you just want to complain about and you'll live a happier life.

Don’t forget, that the HT Cad Bane is from the Mandalorian Series, while the SSC one ist from CW. So if you want to stick around with the CW accurate one, you sadly have no choice.
