That is the original Hasbro jacket I assume, painted with acrylic paint to preserve it. That?s what I did as well.

I was happy with the Jawa right out of the box but apparently I don't have the same standards as others.
I think that would look better. The SS lighting feature is definitely superior to the HT one but there's an angle with the shape of the eyes on the SS version that makes them look kind of angry/evil when illuminated.

True, but I don't like those weird painted-on black eyelids - Jawas never had that in the movie. The HT eyes actually remind me of the hasbro 12" Jawa eyes with that LED in the back of the head visible through light pipe eyes. I'd argue the Hasbro eyes work better in that regard though.
Not sure if I've seen it mentioned here already but the eyes are a bit toward orange more than straight red like in Mando, and the eyes in the Jawas-capture-R2 scene do have slightly orange looking eyes.
Yeah, I would say all up (moving past the robe debate) the SSC is the better Jawa overall - the robe color (while still not quite right) is closer to accurate, the bandoliers are very realistic, the eyes look excellent both lit and unlit, and the gun is the iconic Jawa gun (though I do like the blunderbuss gun.)
The issue with the HT is that two of its biggest pluses - the tighter body (again, the HT body doesn't look massively different to the SSC body quality-wise, so it's just joint tightness) and the better robe texture - are invisible from a normal viewing distance of say 3-4ft. The hood seam is also a lesser plus though, and that is sort of visible.
What Slikk said - the pleather degrades on all those jackets so I rubbed it off and replaced it with fabric paint. It's a tad rough but looks decent, though the "bumps" pattern on the shoulders/arms you lose quite a bit. I will be doing some work on that jacket once I'm done with the gonk and Death star droid.
Everyone: This Jawa is way overpriced
Tali (and I can't remember the name of the other user who did similar mods): Hold my beer while I add the cost of the SS Jawa set to make one single almost good hybrid of the two
Seriously, most expensive single Jawa you can have...
...and still be somewhat "meh" about it
Yeah, it's certainly a ridiculously expensive Jawa - as I mentioned before, if you consider the power droid as a maybe $60 accessory, this is a $200+ Jawa. If Ht had nailed the Jawa and done a two-pack for $300 it would have been a dream deal.
But yeah - I'd call this a pretty meh and overpriced Jawa overall.

Brilliant solution for the eyes Chronos1919. This really fixes my biggest issue with the figure.

Ahh... Looked like a different jacket. I didn?t notice the ribbing on the sleeves at first which i guess gets lost in the fix.
Thanks guys.
Apologies.
Rerail the derail...

I too went with Chronos rhinestone suggestion. It changes the figure entirely. This is a bad phone pic taken for far away zoomed in a bit just to show how well it works.

Red Rhinestones would give you an Offworld Jawa too! Nice!

The Offworld Jawa will be more accurate and come in a 2pk with the taller one and the furry egg for $350
Opened this set up today. Absolutely blown away. Eyes look great!

Jawa is listed on the SS website as preorder. Is that because the first batch sold out and they are making more?
Yes. If they've already shipped some to customers and are still taking pre-orders it means they're expecting more inventory.
Sorry, no one responded to this so I never had a chance to clarify that this was sarcastic.
Extremely underwhelming set, Gonk is okay, Jawa eyes are criminally terrible.

Don't worry not everyone thinks the same. I actually love mine. The suit of the Jawa looks more as the suit of the Jawa's seen in Episode I color wise. The eyes are same color as the eyes of the offworld Jawas seen in the Mandalorian TV show. I like the little fellow though. Great posability.
