If this turns out mediocre, we can wait for the sideshow tuskens to drop in price. Or maybe I?m just really high right now.
 

Oh, I'm already reflecting on how my privileged childhood play patterns denigrated the indigenous peoples of Tatooine.:lecture

You need to stop licking that frog, FF.:lol
 
And that gun looks slim as a pea shooter.

But I bet the head will make a fine replacement to the old Sideshow one... if one can figure out how to connect it.
 
I honestly can't believe they're putting this out before Cara Dune lol. No idea how she and Padme are still missing from the Star Wars line.
 
Oh ****.....damn!!!!! Dream come true for a HT Tusken Raider. The Sideshow one is excellent, but this should be amazing.


I'm down for one, for sure. OT here I come, baby!

Sure I can. Look at it this way, Hot Toys has to design all new thighs just to do that character justice. I guess they could have used them off one of their Schwarzenegger bodies, but that may have still been a tad small! They clearly want to do her justice, and that takes time!

Yes, and young female head sculpts are usually more difficult to get right. She'll also need new arms developed so that will take time.

I think they'd need a whole new body entirely for her.
 
Okay, for reference's sake, here's another look at the Sideshow version "in the wild"...

Yes, one can argue about robe colorings and other issues, but for me, this figure is great. Have had a ton of fun snapping shots of it and posing it for display and it remains one of my all-time favorites in my collection. As Coco proved, some simple mods can turn a good figure into a great one.

I want this new HT version to be good, but after being burned by the HT Jawa, I'm sidelining until I see a final product. Hopefully it won't disappoint and offer more than an awkward looking figure with a poop muffin stand. We'll see...

Until then, the Sideshow one still rocks for me...
 
I truly regret passing on the Sideshow one. To be honest, I don't even remember why. I may have been taking a break from 1/6 figures at the time. Don't remember.

I definitely won't be sleeping on the HT versions, even if they aren't OT. I can see a lot of people possibly replacing the outer cloak material to something more thin and "ragged", such as what's found on the SS version.
 
I don't want to body shame the star wars universe, but this looks like another fat suit figure. That being said it will still be in my collection. This show is really making it's presance felt on my wallet, and I'm not upset about it in the slightest.

Re: Tusken Raider Hot Toys The Mandalorian

Any difference between mandalorian tuskens and a New hope tuskens? Besides weathering? This may be the only tusken we get...

The Mando versions looks more like the Phantom Menace Tuskens than they do the ANH versions. First thing that gives it away is the big turtle neck/ scarf, which the ANH Tuskens didn't have.

They also did the masks differently in PT and Mando - the heads seem smaller than in the ANH look.

The cloaks and clothing also don't seem as rough on the PT and Mando versions - its finer fabric and more closely tailored almost like a women's knit coat. It gives the PT and Mando Tuskens a more slender look, and also more "fashionable" with the neck scarf and tailored coat vs the ANH version having a more feral homeless look.
 
Any word on when this goes up?

Fun fact, the classic Tusken Raider sound is actually a donkey. Altered in some way, but a donkey sound.




As a kid, Star Wars was the best movie of all time. So many cool and scary aliens. My 7 year old self almost could not process. 400 years later, and i'm still talking about them all.

One particular Mando Tusken - had a solo shot kneeling down - looked really slender. Appreciate weathering but figure these Tuskens are closer to a home base so maybe they would be cleaner - that's the story I'll stick with anyway.

Haven't checked but am sure 'bay prices for the SSC version jumped 300%, so these will be the Tuskens I end up owning. Just happy for the opportunity.
 
Honestly these new Tuskens just look plain goofy to me, and nowhere near as creepy or frightening as in ANH. Although I suppose some of that could be intentional with the way Mando has tried to humanize them a bit more.
