Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

[bmarz1000]

Fear not. Governor Tarkin is stellar in-hand. Now, if I could only do something about his “foul stench”.

As odd as it seems without a table, I do like him in that chair. Wonder how it looks on a shelf of all-standing figures?

It looks like this. I literally set up and photographed this just for you my friend.

Stripped him down to have a look at the neck joint...which is very restrictive...nice padded onesie though

So there's no white shirt under the tunic? Just sleeves?

 

[matrix69]

Yeah the white sleeves are stitched inside the arms of the tunic

Are the ankle pegs long already? I might use slightly longer ones like the ANH Han ones.

Incredible paint app and sculpt on this.

Thanks!!!

He looks great seated actually. That's a wonderful display BTW - I love them all spaced like that. Something you can't achieve well in multiple detolfs.

Looks very close to accurate. Very nice. Wonderful to see the three originals like that.

Does the inside of the jacket's collar have any sewn-on white inner lining? What I can see on mine must be either the top of that vest riding/pulled up to form what looks like a collar, or a white inner lining sewn inside the olive collar.

When the head is positioned looking off I can see a tiny sliver of white, so that little splash of white is what Wor-gar must have glimpsed in the pics. It's just enough to visually suggest a white collar undershirt from certain angles so all good I guess.

I had posted this before off Justin's video...





Sure looks like a bit of a shirt collar there. But that's why I asked. Something else for the second batch to fix.


Also something confusing: if the white sleeves are stitched inside the jacket, how come every time someone bends the elbow, the cuff comes out too far? Isn't it fixed? Are people pulling it out to cover the wrist joint?


Tarkin is full of mysteries.

All these pictures have me excited. Getting charged on the 21st.

From Sideshow? You got a notice?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Here's another example of the inner shirt collar on nocternus' figure...





There's something there. That's not the fatsuit riding up.

I think I may have to steal that pose for Tarkin

 

[Aliaz]

From Sideshow? You got a notice?

Yep, just got it.

They added this line to the notice:

”SPECIAL NOTE:
We apologize for the delay. Due to the Chinese New Year Holiday, this item's processing date has been moved from the originally scheduled date.”

So Sideshow is sending out shipping notices? I guess I should switch over the rest of my flex pay to a full pay.
