Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

[loki2371]

Tarkin is a great figure indeed! The bald spot overlook holds it back from a perfect score. I also lengthened his legs with longer pegs

Chili, which Vader is that?

Nice pic.. That definitely is not a stock Tarkin 2pk Vader. That dome looks much bigger. Did you change heads/the dome on your Vader?

 

[loki2371]

What height was Cushing? Is Tarkin supposed to be like Veers where he's over 6' tall? It didn't occur to me Tarkin might need extra height but all the HT Vaders are a little too tall so maybe just that alone is reason to do it.

He was exactly 6' tall.

This vader is a R1/ first HT mash up with a custom cape and tunic, as well as a repainted mask and dome lowering mod done by me

He was exactly 6' tall.

Cushing was no more than 5'10/5'11 tops...his thin frame and features gave the illusion that he was taller

CGI tarkin is a different matter...Guy henry being 6'3/4...

Amazing work.

I haven't done the helmet mod yet... but I'm nearing that point now that I finally have all the bits for a perfect ANH Vader bash. And now that HT is done making ANH Vaders I can rest easy knowing I won't need to undo/upgrade my work.

If you google him he comes up as 6'. If you go to certain websites, he is 5'11 1/2", 5'11". So somewhere around there.

I added the Tarkin hands to my Obi Wan and I really like the results. No only are they more proportioned but they match the skin tone much better.

Wrong thread i know but had to share.

Good to know - I should try that.

What was my comfy temperature setting for the hot tub?

So the stock HT figure's height is about right then?

 

[SilverStar17]

Impressive display. I’ve really taken a liking to the Jakku trooper lately; I had mine out yesterday and was futzing with him a bit.

 

[SwitchStance]

I tried to capture Tarkin as best as I could, but you have to see him in person. Great figure!

 

[SilverStar17]

Yeah, many pictures don’t really do this guy justice. He looks marvelous in hand.

 

[TaliBane]

Very nice pics, Switch stance.

For what is basically an old guy in a olive drab uniform, he's really a spectacular fig.

I was shocked to see my Tarkin/Vader set on the porch today. Got it on Friday during the 20% ebay code. Insanely fast shipping from Alter Ego.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I wish the Obi-wan sculpt was as impressive as this.

I ordered mine from AE months ago and it also showed up today. Can’t say insanely fast unfortunately.

I wish the Obi-wan sculpt was as impressive as this.

Shame isn’t it, doesn’t seem like they would revisit him in old form too.

Not until the Kenobi movie gives them an excuse.

 

[TaliBane]

Not until the Kenobi movie gives them an excuse.

Or we'll be waiting for the Walrusman movie.

Opens with the saber swooping toward Ponda, freeze-frames - "Hold it, hold it - you're probably wondering how it got to a crazy old man swinging that thing at me..." subtitled over lots of walrus belching.

 

[Wor-Gar]

What if they opened the Kenobi movie with CGI Guinness telling some Broom Boys about one of his many adventures while keeping an eye on Luke.
