Some random thoughts on the Cobb Vanth figure after spending a week with him:
I think the headsculpt is quite good! Hopefully my photos did the likeness justice. Not perfect, but I think people would be hard-pressed to come up with more than five sculpts released in 2023 who look more like the person they’re supposed to be than this Olyphant sculpt. But I hope every figure I get from here forward has movable eyes.
Glad I never picked up the reclaimed-armor Boba because it meant this armor was all-new to me. The weathering and paint is really impressive.
The rocket blast-effect is so good! And I love how the rocket plugs into the pack.
Love the mini-diorama base with various configurations; every figure should come with a stand that allows them to get a leg up!
Very odd to have a figure that includes a jetpack and flame effects not also include a flight stand; luckily I have others.
The pants have been praised before and they’re super well done, but also - Cobb’s boots and the weathering on them might be the most realistic I have seen on a figure. It’s a weird thing to obsess over but they stood out to me.
The kneckerchief is a pain in the ass! Was obviously a thicker fabric in the prototype promo photos and should have stayed that way. As it is, too light a fabric to really manipulate easily. Hard to keep it from looking like it’s floating above the armor since it is so light.
Overall great figure; some show inaccuracies but no dealbreakers by any means.
