Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

[matrix69]

Tarkin looks fantastic, very happy to say. As a huge Hammer Horror, as well as Star Wars fan, this has long been a grail of mine, so to have it not just happen, but be done so well is very welcome indeed. Hopefully one day we'll see a Count Dooku of similar quality, as I'd love to have a quality Christopher Lee on my villains shelf as well.

Grail piece for me too and one of my all time favourite actors...perfect sculpt for Van helsing/Sherlock holmes customs..

Is this Vader a straight re-release of the rogue one?

It's a best of bits from ANH and R1 vaders

I wish Vader was sold separately. I have no interest in Tarkin.

Hands still look a bit big in the first pic, but pointing hands looks right.

My name is Tarkin and I LOVE my chair.......and pointing my finger at people while sitting.

Vader : that chair is soooo nice.




"You, Stormtrooper go get me 2 more chairs like this one !! Immediately !!"




"We want you, and you too could have a chair like this"

What is with the plastic looking hands in that shot?

AND its amazing that with their 3 attempts at vader, they still cannot get that nose piece to look screen accurate. HT = lazy at times

 

[Matt S]

To me, that will be Tarkin only. Already have ANH and RO with ESB Vader coming this year. No different enough to warrant yet another Vader purchase with so many unique releases coming later this year.

Agreed. Vader is great if a fan passed, but it looks like a rogue one hybrid.

Now where is Krennic?

The pair would be amazing together!

"If saying it would only make it so ..."

Good God does Tarkin look amazing. Hopefully Jedi Luke will have a slightly improved sculpt as well when it hits. I may just wait and see if there end up being any good deals on the lone Tarkin figure since the only other ANH figure I have is Obi-Wan. And man, could you imagine if they had been able to get as close of a likeness to Alec Guinness as they have for Peter Cushing? Ah well.

Vader looks off to me somehow in the unboxing video—a bit monkey armed almost. I’m waiting for the ESB Vader anyway.

Vader is definitely an amalgamation of the ANH & RO versions.. He has RO hands, belt, and chest box. Shoulder bells are all black ala RO, which is wrong for ANH. Helmet looks to have a little more grey and more scratches, shin armor looks shiny like RO rather than matte like ANH. And his lightsaber is wrong. It is the RO version without the wires, rather than the ANH version with the shorter grips.... Curious to see side by side pics. From pics, I still prefer the original ANH version.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Does this Vader have all of the electronics of the earlier ANH version? Did the RO figure have them?

Also, Tarkin looks drop dead GREAT!

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Has to be the best old man sculpt ever right? Damn... lol

Unboxing of the Tarkin/Vader set:



I feel he looks better in the video than the pics posted.

Love these guys. Interesting point about how Vaders glove opens to turn on the light up lightsaber feature. Check out a bit after the 8:50min mark.

Tarkin does look unbelievable !! I really wonder if HT did perhaps get a 3D sculpt from Lucasfilm. Nothing on HT, but the sculpt is probably their best to date I would say.

Wow I wasn’t expecting this for a long time but bring it on. Hot Toys looks to have nailed this one.

 

[DioramaMaker]

I'm not complaining [emoji38]

I love it too but...you know...money [emoji38]
