Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

The Tarkin/Vader 2pk is now showing low stock on SS for anyone that's still procrastinating.

Has been for about a week which seems like an eternity for how fast the solo Tarkin sold out

That sounds painful for him.

Just a bit.

I went ahead and joined the waitlist... stranger things have happened.

Awe... I just saw your post, but he’s sold out now. Does he pop in and out of stock there regularly?

Grab 2 pack instead while they still in stock at BBTS, then sell Vader and the droid seperately.

Try not to PO at SideShow, their shipping rate + tax is brutal!

It’s a sound plan, but I can’t budget the two pack up front. Since I already have ANH Vader, I have no reason to put it on flex-pay at SS either. I’m going to keep an eye out for the single figure.

Darn it. He was up for the past week as I kept checking. Guess other folks saw my post too.

I managed to find a lone Tarkin at a comic shop online and nabbed him. He looks impressive in neutral poses. His head sculpt is fantastic, and I like his tailoring. However, I find his uniform and the padding somewhat frustrating when trying to pose, because getting natural poses is difficult. And, his sleeves are so short, you can't really get some of the poses you'd like without him having really short sleeves. Still great overall.

If you guys haven't, do yourself a favor and in a fairly dark room, grab a bright LED flashlight and shine it down on Tarkin's head angled from just in front of his forehead. You'll get all the shadows you see in the death star scenes from the stage lighting. Spot. On. Likeness.

And, whoever at Hot Toys is putting the three small buttons on the belt needs to not get that job ever again. It's about 50/50 on them being even and level from what I've seen in photos.

Quick question. For those that got the two pack, is the Vader 2.0 better than the RO version? I was debating on selling it off to get the two pack. Any thoughts?

I’d like to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this as well. Did anybody get the two-pack here?

I got the 2 pack, but since this is my first Hot Toys Vader..cannot say anything about comparison with RO version

For some reason one of the sleeve on mine is shorter than the other causing one side wrist joint to be exposed unless I forcibly pull the sleeve down...the is slowly rides up again.

The single-pack is back in stock at BBTS. I just nabbed him! Thank You!!!

I think it really boils down to what look you prefer as they are pretty much the exact same figure except one is glossy and the other isn't.

The one that isn't shiny comes from the most iconic movie of all time and is most likely 'last call' for that version.

Meanwhile you still have at least one shot at a shiny version from the other most iconic movie of all time.

And then ROTJ.

R1 while decent enough - isn't really even in the same galaxy.

SOLD OUT again! You got the one and only.
