Off world Jawa 2 pack or Jawa & R5D4 2 pack will be welcomed.
Yeah I'm still keeping hope for the Jawa & R5-D4 set. R5 has popped up enough in the shows that I thought it would finally happen, but...Off world Jawa 2 pack or Jawa & R5D4 2 pack will be welcomed.
Way late to the party but I really like this figure, I even like the color as it looks very close to some of the behind the scenes photos.
Ordered some small rhinestones to fix the biggest problem with the figure. I wish they made the eyes a bit less round and sculpted the head a bit more but other than that very happy. The lighting can really makes a difference on how the Jawas looks. Might even get another.
The Jawas are my favorite characters in star wars so you can imagine this is one of my favorite figures despite the disapointingg things about the release.. Id go for a second but considering what I payed for it Ill stick to the one and his buddy droid!Way late to the party but I really like this figure, I even like the color as it looks very close to some of the behind the scenes photos.

The SSC Jawas don't really need them the way the HT version does - the SSC eyes look decent with lights off. The light somehow catches the non-lit SSC eyes enough that you can see them (not as bright as rhinestones, but passable.)Wow! The rhinestones make a huge difference. Looks great grodd!
Anyone try the rhinestones on the SS Jawas?
Do you have a link for those particular rhinestones? Which size did you go for?Just got the Rhinestones. HUGE improvement!
Weren’t people using the 4mm size back when this was released ??Do you have a link for those particular rhinestones? Which size did you go for?
looks better without flashI put them on both the SS and HT.
Without camera flash:
With flash
I've since moved them to a place where the ceiling lights really catch the rhinestones well.
Jawas, like Tuskens, suffer from "photo fade-itis," and I mean badly. It is so hard to get pics that accurately depict the robe colors because they have been reprinted so many times (often sourced from 70s/80s era print technology) so you can pretty much find whatever shade of robe color you want.I used this one at amazon. I believe the 3mm size.

Both Jawas have some advantages and disadvantages for me. But for some reason the headsculpt on this one isn't as great and they have the eyes protruding out a bit unlike Sideshow which has them more recessed. That's why the rhinestones come in so handy on the figure. Interestingly enough, the original Jawa from ANH had a mask made out of duct tape. I was also thinking about modding up with something that looked closer like what I've attached.
But I greatly prefer this robe because of the texture and pose-ability. Also this one matches some of the daytime shots from ANH. As opposed to the Sideshow color which looks more like the "dusk" Jawas when they first capture R2D2.
1st photo attached shows some of the different colors used. 2nd photo is a lighter robed Jawa with the completed "Duct tape mask". 3rd photo is the mask being put together.
looks better without flash
Im probably alone in this but I much prefer the hot toys jawa to the sideshow one. Maybe not for a new hope specifically but as a general representation. I always thought the little junk traders looked adorable. That comes through more in the hot toys.
To be fair though, it's clear HT intended this release to be an ANH Jawa (even if it kinda coincided with Jawas appearing in Mando, which confused some about whether this was a Mando-linked release.)I also prefer the HT Jawa. The colour is consistent with their appearance after ANH was filmed.
