He does look fantastic, Talibane. Was dyeing the robe not an option?
It took a lot of work (and addition of Sideshow parts - including a Sideshow Jawa head, it's really only the robe and body that are HT) but I got mine to a level that I could tolerate. I added a 1/2" of height to mine too. He just seemed too short.
In the context of my larger Tatooine cabinet, he's fine enough. The color does bug me, but I have too many other custom projects on the bench to think about dyeing the robe.
I'm actually considering actually using the "Poop muffin" stands - though with a sand color (and texture) addition. I'll use those once I've finished building my Rustyj gonk droid (I did substantial rebuilds to the kit so has taken a really long time.)
I opened mine today. The colour of the robe doesn't bother me. The power droid is cool. Overall I think the set is good. Am I happy I got it?... not sure yet.
Nice work on your Jawa TaliBane!
Your Jawa looks fantastic Talibane! Seems like the perfect combination of parts.

That looks great!! Nice job!!
Thanks TonTon. That makes more sense. I thought the same thing, but they were the wrong colour and different sizes.Why would SS say they were for the top of the Gonk droid? Weird.
Yeah HT started doing the "extra nailheads/studs" for figs with holsters, bandoliers etc some time ago. I guess because so many people got a figure where a single little nailhead had fallen off and there was enormous cost in shipping them a whole new one.
The funny thing is that they aren't the easiest thing to handle get glued in place accurately, even if you're provided with one.

I popped it open easy enough. The "eyes" are one plastic piece and the LED goes into the middle, which attempts to make the whole piece glow. The LED is white, and the eye piece is a reddish amber which gives the eyes their color. I haven't had a real chance to come up with an alternative yet.
