Yep. Both figures are as straight as can be. Doesn't bother me that much to be honest. Sir Christopher Lee was quite tall (1.96m/6ft4) while Temuera Morrison is given at (1.72m/5ft6). Even taking Jango Fett and Count Dooku given height (1.80m/5ft9 vs 1.90m/6ft2), i can live with it.

There's that much of a height difference between them in real life too.

First coat on the outside done. Could be better but I’m no master painter. Still a long ways to go though.
It’s also quite difficult to work with as the fold lines don’t align perfectly with the stitch lines so it is what it is.

Christopher Lee was very tall. Tem Morrison is teeny tiny.

Do you want Chris Lee and Tem Morrison on your shelf or Dooku and Jango?

Height should be movie accurate or close.

Pretty sure Dooku is much taller than Jango too

He is, see top post, but only by 5 inches:

Jango Fett and Count Dooku given height (1.80m/5ft9 vs 1.90m/6ft2)

Yeah heights in Star Wars make no sense. They don't match actors heights at all.
I'm sure different sources give different heights but in the Star Wars character encyclopedia, it gives Jango, Boba and the clones as 6ft.
In ep2 you can clearly see Obi-Wan is noticeably taller than Jango (in the apartment scene), but that would make Obi-Wan a few inches over 6ft, which he isn't.
Same with Mando. Also Bo and what's her name, the Fett flipper, would also be around 6ft as on screen, they looked to be similar in height to Boba.
Han Solo is listed as 5'10 even though Harrison Ford is 6'1, something like that.
I don't really worry too much about the "official" heights and just look at how tall they look on screen.
I can buy that Boba is 5'9 I suppose, even if Tem is even shorter than that.

I'm fine with the actors heights and the heights as seen on screen with movie magic... I just think that either HT Dooku is too tall or HT Jango is too short as is.

Extenders might not work for Jango because he has pants, but taking those long extenders out of Dooku and swapping them for normal pegs should solve the awkward height issue.

I shortened my Dooku years ago because he was too dang tall relative to other HT figures.

The figure I oddly regret passing on the most is that sideshow prototype fett, that was a cool look. Jango was a must buy after I saw the in hand pics though.

Rbeato · Jun 12, 2022

Absolutely incredible figure! As others have said, the proportions is what sets it off. Jango has major presence and looks Tough AF! Quick phone pic. Can’t wait till my next day off Tuesday to really give this figure some time. Bravo HT. Could careless about the sculpt as it’s staying in the box.
