Why no love for Hot Toys Tarkin?

[zebraten]

here are 3 very slim bodies: (left to right)

DID narrow (already discussed) this is the smaller version, that came with MLK

HT original Slim body (smallest body they made) The HT Stan Lee uses this, but the chest on Stan Lee is larger

Medicom RAH (about the smallest, most narrow you can get. You would have to modify the Tarkin head to fit it and even then, the body is probably too small.

Here's the Threezero (left) compared to the regular knock-off narrow shoulder:

This choice looks pretty good.

That is shaping up nicely so far.

The first two are great bodies but WAY too short for Tarkin without serious modification. Long pegs aren't enough, and arms will still be too short. Great for short characters though.

No, but he says on FB that he has to do some modifications to both pants and jacket. I'm impressed with the jacket tailoring though.

 

[DCFett]

Yeah I like the jacket. I wonder if adding fabric backing would look TOO stiff?

[Wor-Gar]

Not the best angle. You have a straight on shot?

No, custom sculpt.

Maybe it is a resculpt shrunken down. I have the hasbro and this is smaller. But it is similar.
