That's the one criticism I have, too.  Most of the Tuskens from TBOBF only have the one bandolier.  And the VC199 has two that are crossed over one another.  There have been some Tuskens released over the years with the single bandoliers, but they're not articulated anywhere near as well as VC199.  It's kind of like the compromise Hasbro made in order to offer the Aldanhi mission Cassian Andor, where they didn't update the boots.

Are these all based on BOBF Tuskens?

It looks like they tried to color match the figure/soft goods to some of these TBOBF Tusken Raiders, but the accuracy of the belts/gear is lacking because they are all based off the VC199 sculpt/gear.

I had been hoping that Hasbro would do something like this.  Back in the 30th Anniversary Collection there was a Bantha and Tusken Raiders battle pack.  Hasbro offered it in 2 x different sets of deco - one was tan and the other was brown.  Hasbro said at the time that the different deco represented different Tusken tribes.  Based on that I thought it might be really easy for Hasbro to change up the deco on the VC199 Tusken Raider to look like Boba Fett's tribe.  And I'm happy to see they did just that.  That's smart re-use!!!!

Really nice use of repurposing if so.

I saw a post on Rebelscum about the baby banthas but thought it was a joke.

I don’t get it.  For $39 I might buy one buy why a baby Bantha?  Seems like a lot of extra work for a $40 item.

I’m ready for Bespin Luke… holiday special Fett… rebel fleet troopers… grey Jawa… but I don’t want to preorder individually from his site and pay international shipping prices on each, so I’m waiting for them to show up in the US.

Looks like these went quick.  Saw a post on FB last night about them and they are already gone.  I'm glad I snagged a couple before going to bed instead of waiting for the morning.  The post did say these would also show up on Stan Solo's UK site.

Additionally, the Bespin Luke is coming soon.  They have their first shot prototype in hand so expect that one to show up in the not too distant future.

Kea Moll got here today... she's a little dirtier than the others so I might upgrade this one someday, but it's good for now.
