Sideshow 1/6 Jawa Figure Set

They really need black fabric on the face

I agree... or some sort of texture in the pastic (like the Tusken Raider head).

 

[Wor-Gar]

They are Tootsie Roll people. Yum-Yum.

This is a super easy thing to customize. But still, given the absurd pricing on these figures now they should be PERFECT out of the box (and be able to do our laundry and cook us dinner).

The eyes seem too big as well. Smaller eye holes with yellow LEDs behind them would've been ideal.

I don't understand the black lining inside the hood, unless is somehow screen accurate.

Now we need a Power Droid/Gonk.

Been crying out for that for years. Still hopeful that it will materialise.

The one from Medicom has it too. Can't really tell from reference images, hope its accurate.

Looks great!

Friend of mine does a 1/6 Power droid model. Should be available at Starshipmodeler.com

It is, along with small pieces of black gaffer's tape.

I'm pretty sure you'll find that many of the Jawas were very different in costuming. About the only thing that's consistent is the choice of robe fabric. The tape was a prop fix to hold the eye gear - I wouldn't want it on a figure, because Jawas are not human children wearing electronic eyes, any more than R2 is a shell with a small person inside it.

Also, using LEDs, one for each eye at 1/6 would be a mistake, they'd be way too bright. The solution is eye lenses with an LED inside the head - this way the eyes light up in a diffuse manner and you don't get eye projections on the other side of your room.

Yeah, actually that sounds like the go.

Lol...found the complete pic:

Hairy arms!

 

[Pixelpiper]

IMO, Jawas don't wear gloves. The actors do, but what we see on screen are supposed to be the creature's hands as far as I'm aware - which is why they have fur.

My idea for a custom also uses fur on the face and legs.

I think they do look pretty cool, my only gripe would be the hard plastic look to the face/head inside the robe. I would rather a fabric "ski mask" over it with eye holes cut or something, it just breaks the illusion because it reflects light back instead of it looking dark and mysterious under the hood. It reminded of an old plastic Orko from MOTU for a second on one of the above pictures. I suppose some matte black paint would help a bit but I hope they go for a better solution.

Already adjusted Travis. Faceplate will have some texture to it.

 

[Matt Bischof]

In person the fabric looked very thick... so hopefully it's something that can be futzed, or in production they get something a bit thinner. Overally they looked really good and I like that it's two different sizes and they have different robes. Hopefully they'll fit in well with my two customized Hasbro Jawa's and the Medicom one.

Hi GalacticBoy - will take some futzing. These have inner robes as well so with some proper adjusting, the look you are after should be achieved. When the gallery goes up, they will likely be properly futzed - will be the same ones shown at the show so you'll be able to make a better determination.

What about the eyes Matt, what's the go with those - will they light up?

They're lit in at least one photo: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/...-jawa-figure-set-post7701713.html#post7701713

Yes Sir, they will be illuminated. Not sure it will be a touch sensor like R2, more likely an actual press button under the cloak.
