Just wanted to say Thanks for the pics.
I usually post on Rebelscum, and had heard there were loose pics of this figure here. A better Tusken has been at the top of my wish list for a while, so I was really happy to see these pics.
Thanks again for opening and for the pics.
Well get your ass over here and avoid the Jr. High lockeroom.
Seriously though Paul, very nice pics, thanks man. The figure looks great to me... The arms are definitely more poseable than the Tusken Sniper (and its other recard names), what with wrist joints and things... The sniper's got (I'm going off the top of my head here) a left wrist and angle-cut right elbow and MAYBe right wrist? It's pretty limited though, and this Tusken looks good with raised arms, or arms down too despite the baggy outfit.
The softgoods comparison shot you took with Obi-Wan is outstanding Paul... It's like an ad for using cloth on action figures properly.
Very nice.
I don't mind the paintjob myself, though it's not fantastic. The Sniper he's compared to is sort of too gold.
Bummed to hear about the gummy weapons Paul but I figured that'd be the case. I think Hasbro ran with cheap plastic on accessories in the VOTC line too (the Stormie blasters are noticeably more flimsy for instance). Hasbro's probably cutting a corner with that to save $. Yet they gave two accessories so that's weird, but whatever. I can't wait to get this figure in droves.
Oh and thanks for the heads up on the Bandoleirs. Definite customizing potential Paul... A good part to reproduce for that hobby.
Great stuff man, I'm thinking I want about as many as you're looking to pick up.
