Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

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

But it it looks like he’s in Sweden. So it’s not necessarily on the same shipping time frame we are looking at .. don’t they use different warehouses formEuropean shipments. Could still be days or weeks for stateside

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

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

Yeah, that's what mine looks like - it almost looks too clean edged to be the unhemmed fat suit top, but maybe I just got a very neatly cut fat suit. It's just I'm not game enough to take off the jacket or pull too much on the collar.

It's all so perfectly tailored and super-snug fitted, and the fabric also has this habit of holding folds or creases a bit too much. That has me a bit worried about how a parted Tarkin uniform from TA would work out. Also, I'm not 100% sure if Tarkin's uniform is a slightly different olive/grey color to the rest of the OT Imperials. I always remembered it that way, but maybe not.

 

[TaliBane]

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.”

Got the same thing regarding Leia Hoth. Damn Chinese New Year ruining my dolly delivery.

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

I didn't get a notice. Grr...

 

[deathsheadII]

has this only been released as part of the double pack so far ?

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

The ankle pegs are the standard short ones..

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.

There is indeed a wee white shirt collar stitched into the tunic...so all's good
In regards to the shirt sleeves...it is fixed but there's enough play so that it can be pulled out to cover the wrist pegs...but i do wish the tunic sleeves were a tad longer..

Both the double and the single packs are available...i picked up the single

 

[TonTon]

The ankle pegs are the standard short ones..

Even better. Thanks, matrix. I’m gonna have him side by side with Vader so I might try the next peg size up and see how that looks.

Nice! I can hear Vader: What do you mean?

Great shots Matrix. Gonna be an extra wait for my BBTS set. Thanks for all the pics everyone is sharing.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks way worse than the prototype?

Yes ...
