Admiral Piett 12" figure

[Wor-Gar]

Not sure has everyone seen this. Grabbed this image from cooltoyreview.com. Here we see more of the body.

So he comes with a blaster. Useless for Piett.

He should come with 2nd 'nervous' head.

I'd almost prefer he not have a blaster if it'd reduce total figure price, he doesn't use one.

I think a deciding factor for most fans is the likeness of the head sculpt.

Yep. I really want a Piett figure but if the likeness doesn't come through in some different pics then it's a pass for me.

He doesn't even have a holster.

I also hope they offer the soft cap as well as the plastic cap like they did Praji. I know most like the molded cap, but with a little futzing I think the cloth looks great.

I kind of wish SS would do with SW what they did with Indy and offer "environment" pieces with figures like this. For Piett, maybe a control panel board or something. If you get enough of these you could put together a little "set" for your figures.

Unfortunately the decision probably rests on the success of Han in Carbonite, but I'd love to see a Super Star Destroyer bridge window bay environment, would work cool with Piett and a Vader, or just Vader looking out all badass like he does in his first shot in Empire.

I'm with you on the cloth cap. Sure the plastic offers and overall more accurrate shape, but it looks like plastic, it catches light in ways cloth doesn't, and the cloth one looks just fine on Praji. I imagine he has both, they already have the pattern from Praji so it's just a matter of making it in Piett's color.

Sculpt is key for me as well. I hope to see a better likeness in subsequent pics released.

This guy is indeed bare-bones, in regard to character appropriate gear. Hopefully the price will reflect that.

I totally love 1/6 environment pieces. We only see Piett onboard a spacecraft all the time. A control panel board would be nice. In time we can fit Vader in too.

Did they forget they previewed Piett?

Photos up for Sandtrooper but not Piett? Very strange.

I don't think they ever did a preview gallery for a newsletter preorder.

True, just very anxious to see all of him, top wanted Imperial.

I'm on board wanting that cloth cap...and yeah, I get the logic of him having the Imperial blaster (gotta give him something, right?), but I'm hoping for alternate hands (gloved/bare) too. Don't know what else they could add.

This regular Blaster is meant for the Sandtrooper, since he doesn't have one.

Too bad they can't just make environments with regular plastic like Sith Anakin's display base.

Two figures in one week. Sweet.

I know I said the sculpt was fine. but now with the sandtrooper release the sculpt has to improve for me to get this despite Piett being a fav of mine.

That would be so cool! I always thought there should be more dioramas for 1/6
