Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

[SilverStar17]

This ships for me on Tuesday. I think I’m going to go with the hands behind the back pose. I can’t recall if it was like that in the film, but the overly visible white sleeve when you bend his arm looks a bit sloppy to me.

How do you know?

That’s when my final payment is scheduled for at least.

Ah, yes, that's the day they charge. I also hope they ship that day. Hope. If so, I'll get it Weds.

 

[SilverStar17]

I could be wrong of course. Roughly 95% of the time though for me it does ship at the end of the day I get charged and I receive it the next day, so I’m presuming it will. If it does ship, I’ll receive it on Wednesday as well.

I agree. I had both hands behind his back originally but it looked a little plain. What is is with HT and their short sleeves.

Together at last. I have the first release Darth Vader. I prefer the helmet weathering on this one.

Where did you get those cool autograph plaques?

Stands were from rebelscum. Plaques were custom made by a guy in the states and autographs at conventions. It was a long process.

Tarkin arrived today and I gotta say after all the praise heaped on this fig I'm pretty underwhelmed. Uniform needs some major futzing. The colour photographs well but in hand seems wrong and is very polyester feeling. The sleeves could do with a bit more length - its pretty hard to get good poses with his arms raised and hide the wrist balls. Likely the Death Star Gunner is too big being the issue, but he looks tiny next to the gunner - better with a stormtrooper. But I'm not really feeling this one.

Nice improvement

I've opted for the early payoff for my Tarkin Vader 2 pack. It should charge tomorrow. All these photos are not healthy for my wallet. KEEP 'EM COMING

Lord Vader, stop choking the staff members!

I like the figure, could have been a bit more grey haired but still good.

I think Tarkin will get to sit in my JazzInc Emperors Throne when I get it until the HT Emperor arrives.

Go to BBTS or almost any other seller. The sales tax and shipping kills SS for me unless it's an exclusive. But look at how BBTS also got the Boba Fett animated exclusive, so who knows anymore.

BBTS over prices their figures compared to other retailers, SS is the distributor but their shipping with my stuff has always been on point since they ship it pristine

my previous Hot Toys SW figures were ordered from various sites like BBTS, TimeWalker...didnt know SS rate was this horrible,gezz there are still Anakin and Jedi Luke PO pending at theirs..

 

[D.R.37]

I’ll order from SSC if I have a code or RPs to even put the shipping/taxes burn since I’m maybe only 40 min away from them. Tarkin/Vader pk will be my first 1/6 from BBTS and other POs pending. I’m hoping the package and delivery go well.

 

[Wor-Gar]

BBTS packs everything great! You will be happy.
