Yeah, he looks great. Any further thoughts on him?
Something about him invokes that sense of mystery that surrounded the Bounty Hunters from all those years ago. Like trying to figure out if those are really his eyes or some sort of lens embedded into his "flesh" to protect his natural eyes and they have weird little facets that line up to the natural bug eye facets or something. I also wonder about the semi-organic breathing hoses with that weird little bottle grown into them and what that does (adds some sort of compound native to the air that this creature would breath on its own world, or filters something out? Collects moisture like a Still Suit?). I do like the trench coat thing too, it has a very unique fell to it but doesn't feel out of scale, almost like a shark skin or something and it poses pretty well too (I do have concerns about eventual breakdown of these items, especially if I pose him often, which currently I am inclined to do).
To me, that sense of enigma and mystery that ignited my own imagination is why I love Star Wars and these back ground characters so much. It is something definitely lost on the latest films (oh cool who is Snoke and what is he about? oh who cares, lets kill him. Who is this purple haired admiral and what is she about? oh who cares lets kill her. Who are these weird red lobster guys and who trained them? oh who cares lets kill them... takes all the fun of imagination right out from each and every one of them and therefore, no need to create their adventures in my mind or buy toys of them).
