Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin arrived, one of the best 1/6 sculpts, incredible resemblance to Peter Cushing:

Congrats, jkno. Really an outstanding figure.

Yeah, superb figure. I like everything about it, the sculpt, the stance you can have with it next to other figures, the Imperial suit, even the cylinders fit well in the pockets. I have no use for the chair for now, but we'll see in the future.

Just got the figure and aven't read up yet, but is there any danger to keeping him in the chair long term in terms of damage to his outfit?

The material that the suit is made out of does seem to crease pretty easily if left in a pose that causes it to.

I thought steaming the suit, but it doesn't need it yet. I first used the steamer on Iron Studio Vader's cape, and worked wonders. If I need to I will do it on Tarkin in the future. Since the boots are pleather I carefully sprayed them with a bit of silicone spray and buffed them, they are shiny now - and silicone is also helping the pleather not get damaged in time.

I finally was able to pose Tarkin with my Vader...

Sillicone does help the pleather not get damged in time ?

Seems so. I read it somewhere on this board. Seems is it also good for some type of rubber.

I have him standing with Vader and a death star gunner. Go perfectly together

 

[DarkChocobi]

He looks great with the Death Trooper standing behind him - would be cool to see him in a film leading some Death Troopers.

Tarkin could use some Death Troopers while Krennic still nowhere to be found at the moment

 

[Hoody999]

Well if he can take the DeathStar from Krennic, the Deathtroopers also come with it right ??

I thought for a second he was doing an MJ crotch grab.

Thriller redux with death troopers instead of zombies!

Tarkin doesn’t object to that.

 

[Creighton]

Got mine today- anyone else have this problem? (chipped paint under neck)

Pretty sure if you contact Sideshow, they will replace it. Especially if it’s damage like that.

 

[Creighton]

Good idea. thanks man!

Great pics. Tarkin really is one of those figures that tip over to “eerily life-like”.
