I definitely have had my complaints and vocalized them about this figure. Thing is, I really liked the Biker Scout and have had lots of enjoyment from him. The body isn't perfect but I am ok with it on that figure. Jango has been a lot longer in development and the only reason I went ahead and ordered him was because the Scout came out so well in my opinion. It is night and day how much fun you can have with these figures.
Jedibear and others have taken some great shots and I understand that with a LOT of patience and determination you can get him into cool looking poses and get some great photos. The fact remains that this is not a figure that you can casually pick up and put into a new pose on a whim like you can with the Biker Scout or HT Storm Troopers.
Boba Fett, for all of his issues is a far superior build than this figure. I pick up Boba Fett quite often and put him into new dynamic poses. His big shortcoming in this area is the damn backpack hooks that come off so easily (and yes, they kept that awesome feature for Jango). I don't understand how you can back-slide that much from Boba to Jango with almost the same build in terms of chest, head, backpack, etc. but they did.
It's as if all of the 1/6th designers are busy on some other project or left the company for this one... its a real head scratcher and makes me sad. I usually support SSC on 1/6th but the last year or maybe even a bit longer has been really disappointing. Everything from Hoth to Plisken now Jango... Biker Scout was good but the rest.. what is going on? I love so many of my SSC figures like Bossk, IG88, Darth Malgus, Greivous is awesome, I like my Boba Fett fine, I like my Deluxe Vader as well. R2 has his issues but he is ok too. I even like my Yoda Master which I was on the fence about at first but has really grown on me. Padawan Kenobi same thing. I paid pretty heft prices for all of these guys but still under $200 for all but Greivous and Vader and all of that was money well spent.
Has HT getting the license taken the wind out of their sales? Don't they care anymore? I cannot pre-order anything from them anymore. I have almost bit the bullet on the Jawas multiple times but now I have to wait and see.
