Yeah for me my Clone Wars display is animated and is on the same wall as my live action displays and it doesn't bother me at all because they're still separate displays but some ppl wanted a uniform live action look for everything which I'm personally not a fan of because my affinity for CW is based on their animated look. That's why I'm happy the HT Savage Opress looks slightly more cartoonish so I can maintain the animated look overall.
That’s awesome. I’m of the same mindset. I would’ve done the same had Hot Toys made them animated looking where I’d display them together but in separate displays. I’d personally rather have what they look like in the show and not a realistic interpretation. It’s funny how the line varies from figure to figure.

I wish Sideshow Ahsoka was better. If they make a Siege of Mandalore version one day and it looks good, I’ll bite.

For now, I’m just going to get Kotobukiya Ahsoka and Rex to represent the Clone Wars tho. Think they’ve made Maul and some of the Bad Batch too.
 
Honestly, I'm pleased with this.

He looks great, but..........

Man, his blasters look so dumb in the holsters. :slap Cartoon accurate or not Sideshow should've redone that. If I was to ever decide to get this guy down the road, I'd have to sort that out. Cut out the bottom or something.

Yep. I'm absolutely, 100% cutting the bottom out of those holsters. I'm not super OCD but that is ******* grinding my gears lmao

Accuracy be damned Idgf
 
Got this and love how it blends with the HT Clone Wars figures. I have his weapons in his hands so never noticed that holster thing. Would've driven me nuts as well!
 
Couldn't resist completing my animated lineup and picked this guy up recently. Sculpt-wise, I like him more than the Hot Toys version to be honest, Hoping he is selling well enough that Sideshow continues making these, flaws/quality aside.

I am noting that his arms do not fall naturally along his sides at all. Surprisingly so. Enough that I was starting to think that mine had his arms accidentally rotated at the shoulder 180 degrees inside the clothing or something but then saw @McHaleyArt mention in his review "The arms can't be posed flush with his sides."

Does everyone else who has him notice this or could mine actually be defective? I would guess I couldn't get his arm past about 45 degrees down along his side.

The arms don't go flush to his sides on mine too. It doesn't bother me tho because the one arm I keep downward like that makes it look like he's on the verge of quickly drawing his pistol.

I think it's the tightly fit jacket he's wearing that hinders articulation in the shoulder joints.
 
Found out last week that Collectibles Direct (in the U.K.) weren’t having their shipment of Cad Banes fulfilled by the supplier.

Thanks Sideshow- so they cancelled and refunded me.
Soon as the money came in, I picked up the last one available at another local store.

The price for these in the UK is insane but this figure looks great so I’ve got to add him to the TCW display.
Since I’d already spent most of the money ages ago, it didn’t feel like such a mugging though- but I guess I’ll have to find another store to order any future TCW figures from since I can’t trust CD anymore.
They seem to be a whole year late with everything except Weta statues in my experience.
