I always thought he looked like a buttface.
Ponda Baba would get the buttface description for sure! Or Buttmouth maybe.

More like @$$-cranium/vag-mouths.
..& I totally used to call Walrus Man 'Bum Face' when I was a kid - I think a lot of people did.

You got the softgoods looking really nice on that Royal Guard. Looks awesome.

I would definitely go for a SS royal guard and biker scout.
If thats 'really nice' I'd hate to see what 'really bad' is. No offense to either of you.

Yeah. I'm a soft goods man myself. All the plastic or rubber molds on the capes in the past have been garbage.
When the past we're talking about was pre-2002 then yeah maybe they were.

But didn't they stop making molded capes in 2002? Episode 2 figures had some and weren't great but after that like the clone wars figures and such were still bad. Then they went onto soft good cloaks and what not and looked much better IMO.

Would love to see SSC make both of these...
The top one. What is it called, we're did you get it, and do you want to sell it?
I'd have to disagree. The scale is just too small to pull off cloth realistically. Far more misses than hits.

Nah..
The sculpted robes don't look as good.
I have the AOTC version and its alright but, not better then this VC Guard or even the ROTS version but, i do tip my hat still to the vintage Royal guard as they got his robe correct, i turned the robe to the side on my VC Guard to give it a proper look.

I had to ask. What is he called?

SWTOR Republic Trooper from the final wave of VC, never did play the game, loved the trailer but, i like this character design quite a bit plus it was on sale and supposed to be a online exclusive, we got lucky and it showed up here in Canada.

I prefer softgoods as well. It's part of the vintage aesthetic and I think it works pretty well for the most part. I will concede that the choice to use it at times, doesn't make sense. I'd probably prefer that Tarkin didn't have the softgoods skirt, but it is what it is.

Yup. Exactly. Tarkins skirt is terrible snd I totally did not like the soft goods shirt farm boy Luke had from the first vintage collection. Shirts and skirts should be molded for the most part but robes and cloaks should be mostly soft. Even a combination is ok at times but the plastic robes limit mobility and pose ability. That's my reasoning anyway.
Can someone post a pic of a plastic or hard robe that looks good after 2002 that does not restrict mobility?
Well I guess we all look for different things in our little figures. When I see softgoods I see no natural folds, and stuff just sticking out all over the place.

I don't think you have to play the game to love what they have produced. From Malgus to this guy I think its amazing how everything has that "old times" look. Whoever designed this stuff did a really good job at making stuff look like ancient versions of the Star Wars stuff we know and love. I would like to see more Old republic stuff out. The lego Old Republic version of the Tie Fighter looks amazing and I would like to have one of those for Habro Malgus.
