Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

[Wor-Gar]

Oh was it? I guess I never looked that closely. Who knew?

Well I did silly goose.

 

[Khev]

the upcoming Bandai Perfect Grade Falcon....

What's the significance of 1/72 scale? Is that studio scale? Is the Bandai Falcon something we'll have to assemble (or worse, paint) ourselves?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Get that ROTS "Farkin" abomination off this page!




Just kidding. At the time I was so stoked to see Tarkin back.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm happy to see a Tarkin renaissance.

For decades he seemed like the forgotten villain. Then ROTS revived his memory... and RO expanded his evilness to new heights. He finally has more screen time than Jabba and Fett.

 

[Khev]

He finally has more screen time than Jabba and Fett.

And to this day he still has the most dignified death of any bad guy in the entire saga.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's true too.

And in 13 hours he's got 21 pages.... not bad for an old man.

 

[Kamandi]

What's the significance of 1/72 scale? Is that studio scale? Is the Bandai Falcon something we'll have to assemble (or worse, paint) ourselves?

It will be ~18.5" long meticulously detailed recreation of the ANH model. 1:72 means it will be 2x the dimensions of the previous Bandai kit, but the detail is sooo much more. 650 pieces.

Bring your own assembly and paint skills.

 

[ZE_501]

This is going to be a funny thread of it turns out this the revenge of the Sith tarkin.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

 

[Khev]

That's true too.

He and Krennic are the only major baddies that didn't die screaming. But Tarkin still wins because Krennic *knew* he was beaten before he died.

Bring your own assembly and paint skills.

Shoot.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Be silly if he came with his chair... he'd look silly just sitting in it on your shelf. He'd need a full table to look correct, and then THAT would look silly.

No, Tarkin must be standing to Vader's side just a bit in front of him, either hands behind his back or arms crossed, one hand on his chin, contemplating.

 

[pixletwin]

This, obviously.

...... or arms crossed, one hand on his chin, contemplating.

 

[Futurion]

This is a pose i want to be achievable

 

[Wor-Gar]

This is a pose i want to be achievable

When he's eating peanuts?

 

[surforia]

YESSS!!!! Finally! Day 1 preorder.

 

[Kamandi]

When he's eating peanuts?

Two Villains, One Viewscreen

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'll definitely order this day 1, and overpay thru Sideshow... when I know that I could have this for half price 6 months after release.

But its Tarkin... I can't resist.

Thank god I didn't blow my points on Snowspeeder Luke.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

DS Gunner is more fun now, where is that officer with console?

 

[Khev]

But its Tarkin... I can't resist.

This Tarkin announcement is almost as exciting as the two Jyn Erso figures isn't it buddy?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Jyn Erso....? Who dat?




You know I have no Jyn Erso... hey, that rhymes.

That's not officer, but Death Star Trooper.
