I got my Hammerhead today and I have to say this is the first Star Wars 1/6th I am tryley disappointed in. The head is such flimsey rubber, and hollow, I'm afraid to let it get warmer in the house the 80 or it will melt. We deserved much harder plastic for the money paid for this doll. For the first time, I really have to say this one was not worth the cost.
Wow...guess there had to be somebody who wasn't impressed after all the praise...
You posted a good shot of him anyway!
I'm also thinking that the idea here was to have a material that would handle the sculpt and paint with good detail and be light enough so that the figure would stand and display well. Judging from the pictures in here (including yours), it looks like Sideshow succeeded perfectly (I'll know myself later this week when the Ithorian braves the frigid northeast and joins my collection).
One figure from earlier in the collection might've benefited from this lighter material...Jedi Kit Fisto. His tentacled head is great looking, but so heavy that he topples easily without a stand. If Sideshow avoided this with Hammerhead by using a durable, lighter material, I'm all for it. It's not about being cheap, it's about engineering...
Can't wait to get this guy....more pictures please!
