I did. Jawas should be delivered Friday and I can let you know.

Ok great I'd also be interested. Possibly some pics too. Would be interesting to see if they've changed the material used or anything else.

However the loose joints are the main thing I'm interested in.

 

[Jaymig926]

Great thank you !

 

[hokietwo]

Utini!

Thinking bout picking these guys up. Did the 2nd release solve the wobbly body issues?

 

[hokietwo]

Same, the arms and legs feel a bit better but the chest is still pretty floppy.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Wow. They really shredded the robe and sleeve ends on these. Curious about the bodies too.

Shredding looks too uniform to me. All the same cut lengths. Not hard to modify, but just shows SS lack of thinking.

A pity about the body floppiness. I asked SS about this a year or so ago. They are certainly aware of it. But apparently did nothing about it for this second batch.

 

[D.R.37]

That's a shame. Probably and easy fix though since the bodies are just like 1/12 figures? I still might pick these up sometime though. They'd look great next to my Sandtrooper.

Yeah, mine are first batch and the tattered parts are very subtle.

If these get discounted again I might pick up a second set. Not perfect figures but fine enough for these characters.

Just picked this set up recently for a great price on eBay. I prefer the little one out the two, and decided to dress him in the tall ones accessories.

My finger keeps hovering over the purchase button on these two for some reason, but I have resisted the urge each time.

I've been the same. Loose joints and average weathered brown fabric kept me wary. I even ordered them once, but when I saw how wobbly the joints were I sent them back. Like a few other figures waiting on HT. In the meantime I have a far cheaper Hasbro figure, which while not exactly 1/6 looks like a shorter Jawa. Fine for now.

 

[DCFett]

Waiting on HT...for Jawas? Puhleeeze! I wouldn't put any money on that.

Agree. I’m constantly tempted to pull the trigger on SS’s Jawa, Tusken and R5 for that very reason.

I'd also get a Tusken, but the prices on secondary market are horrendous. So sure waiting on HT for these could be a very long wait. However they did seem to be covering the Kenner 12 back figures. The Tusken was one of them, so perhaps they will get to him at some point ?

 

[DCFett]

Maybe but they are missing some key characters from film properties they license <see RO & MCU>, it’s not a far stretch to see that they won’t make tertiary characters like the Tuskans and Jawas. Can never say never, but they’ve skipped on characters with massive appeal compared to these.

 

[Hoody999]

True, considering SS also just made another order of Jawas is also not a good sign....but I have time and enough figures to make a nice Tatooine display once I get around to it. Sandtrooper, R5-D4, small Jawa and a Gonk.

Hope they put a Sandperson in Solo somewhere. That may speed things up for HT. But a long shot I know.

Wish they would do a Greedo too.

You never know. Who would of thought we'd get death star gunner. These ot figs sell well. They'll have the license for years. I'm sure we'll all get what we want eventually.
