Gamorrean Guard 12"

[Puay]

I just hope there is enough material from his top to allow us to pull the fur skirt down.

Other than this, everything else about the figure is fantastic.

Oh yeah.. and the missing axe. Hah hah.

Edit: language correction, not that there is any vast improvement. Hah.

The skin color is off. This one may need a repaint, but at his price point, he shouldn't need one.

 

[galactiboy]

The only thing I'd really tweak is I'd like the fur skirt and his belt line to be lower more like this.

I just always think of the fur covering most of his bottom and here it's the pants under it.

That's a big part of it... I think if that was improved I would be more inclined to purchase. It looks like the leather top needs to be elongated a bit which will allow the lower portion to be smaller and less visible.

I was really impressed with the size of this guy!!! well worth the money!

 

[jedibear]

The green on him looks good at the con.

I'm liking the overall look of him but like others have pointed out, it does kind of look like the "skirt" is riding up a bit too high on him.

Maybe it's just a case of whomever set up the displays just kind of put the figures out there...no real futzing done on any of them (CT armor askew, CW Anakin kind of off, Yoda doll house contents looking like it's ready for a moving sale, all lined up, etc).
Granted, I get the idea that they would want stuff presented with an "out-of-the-box" look to it to represent as close as what folks are getting as possible, but....I can't help thinking just a little futzing and straightening really makes the figures pop...

 

[Puay]

Agree. I am sure some little adjustment and there will be a whole less "complaints".

 

[jedibear]

Hope so, Puay, I hope so...right now, he's got that "old man pants" waist thing going that just looks weird.

 

[MaulFan]

Agree. I am sure some little adjustment and there will be a whole less "complaints".

I wouldn't even comment on it really if I thought adjusting is all it needed, my worry is that the pieces are made to end up where they are and you won't be able to adjust them.

Sounds like a good question for Sideshow Q&A.

 

[Batty]

Can't someone ask one of the Sideshow reps if it's adjustable?

 

[MaulFan]

Sounds like a good question for Sideshow Q&A.

And it'll get answered after it ships

 

[Wor-Gar]

Has anyone checked the actual movie to see how they really wear their hula skirts?

 

[MaulFan]

It's not a film still, but it's one of the costumes, it sits lower, you hardly see the pants under it, you see more shirt.

The WIP had the positioning of things pretty good, just doesn't look as nice on the actual figure.

 

[Darth Waller]

His skirt is riding pretty high in this shot, but it's probably because he's looking at Leia.

 

[icruise]

As is often case, it can be pretty hard to actually find a full body shot in the movie (this is compounded by the fact that most of the Jabba scenes are very dark), but it sure looks like they wore it lower, and that's how every other Gamorrean guard has been portrayed in figures, statues, and art. So yeah, I'm gonna say it should be lower.

 

[MaulFan]

That's the thing, yes, other merchandise has influenced our memories, but even so, I think it just looks odd to have it that high with the pants, it makes more sense for the "skirt" to almost be the primary covering and the pants just be a little something to keep the boys tucked away , Where it all falls right now, it just looks a bit strange, and the waist line being higher makes him seem a tad too fat.

 

[icruise]

Not to keep harping on the paint job, but why did they make his nose so dark? That's really hurting the look for me.

Do you blame him?

 

[Darth Waller]

Do you blame him?

No I do not. In fact, I remember that issue fondly.
